The Roundabout Hotel

We had a lovely afternoon tea here last week. Fresh sandwiches and scones plus a selection of cakes. You can choose from a variety of teas, coffees or hot chocolate but we were only offered tea or coffee. I didn’t realise about the hot chocolate until I read other reviews after. These are also unlimited which wasn’t made clear. Would go back though. Staff were friendly.

We used this establishment twice in January one was for an evening meal which was really good we had starter and main meal plus drinks which cost about £45 for two people. With the quality and the taste of the food it was a steal. Our waitress on the evening was very good and helpful and took and helped with our order. She was always available for any extra requirements like drinks Would recommend anyone to eat here. After the very successful meal I decided to treat my wife to a afternoon tea. Yes you have a selection of about 6 different sandwiches to choose from. And these are good but the scones where warm but I don't think they were fresh just heated up. And the cakes where all shop bought which was disappointing when they have some fantastic cooks. Afternoon tea feels to me like it is an inconvenience for them as it was very difficult to get service for simple things like extra tea and when you do get service it them took 25 minutes for them to produce the tea. They ether need to drop this service and concentrate on the good quality food they supply or promote the Afternoon tea more to get more customers in by doing it right I am afraid I would have to score the afternoon tea no more that 2 stars while the dinner experience would definitely be a 5 star experience The other issue with this establishment is that the windows allow a lot of cold air in which makes it very cold while sitting next to them. Although I like looking out the window I would recommend sitting as far away from the windows as possible.

Arrived here in a group of eight on a Monday Evening having booked a couple of days earlier only to find that they had no record of us? However they coped admirably and special mention must go to the young Chef (18 today) and the barmaid who had a brilliant sense of humour despite obviously expecting an easy night! The food was brilliant and not too pricey and drinks reasonable. Would recommend and definitely visit again if we’re in the area!

Just to say a massive thank you to the Roundabout Hotel for hosting a Wedding reception over the weekend for us. Kelly, Sarah, Sue, Chloe, Lily and the Kichen staff Adrian,Rob, Richard and Kenzie, and all staff that helped but I was not able to get your names. You were all so friendly and helpful and accommodating and nothing was to much trouble. The food was excellent, accommodation was warm and comfortable. What really stood out was the hard work the staff put in to set up the venue which was outstanding. The bride and groom was overwhelmed and all the guests with the magical, enchanting, woodland theme they put together provided by the bride. A fantastic team thank you again.

It’s pretty noisy in our room due to traffic outside but it wasnt an issue as we had the fan on to drown out the noise in the night. We all had a restful sleep, my family are deep sleepers. I’m a light sleeper and I managed to sleep well. The breakfast that was included. Was okay, got 1 egg, 1 sausage, 1 bacon & beans. Could’ve had fried bread or Hash brown. The toast that was given to our table was perfect was nice thick bread and literally hot out the toaster.. which usually you don’t find in places. There is many doors and corridors but it’s just how the building is we didn’t find it any inconveniece Overall it was perfect for our needs as just a checking in point for the night to get sleep. It’s hard to find rooms that cater to families of five. There’s also a Tesco Extra minutes away.

The Child family would just like to thank all the staff at The Roundabout Hotel for their fantastic hospitality for what was for us a very difficult time. Excellent food fantastic staff nothing was too much trouble home from home
