6.5/10Service was very very slow especially as there was only a couple of tables in use. Food was ok but overall disappointed. Breakfast food disappointing

8.5/10I thought that I had booked a table for four for lunch in Squires Restaurant, only to be told on arrival that only a bar menu was available. The bar was quite noisy and being elderly my party were having difficulties hearing, the duty manageress noticed this and opened the restaurant and we had lunch there: most peaceful. This was most kind of her and the staff involved and is an excellent example of taking care of the customers. Well done and thank you for making our meal a pleasant experience and the the sandwiches were excellent.

5.5/10the food was nice and the staff were nice. we sat in the front area but there were no umberellas and it was scorching hot. we moved to the back garden area and to be honest it was very tatty looking. the wooden table we sat at was very uncomfortable and in desperate need of varnishing. the a

3.5/10The natchos were awful, obviously been sat there a while before brought out as cheese had dried and the natchos were one big solid lump stuck together. The steak had garlic butter lump on it which never melted as the steak was lukewarm warm and we were never approached by waiting staff to ask how our meal was and we had to call them to order drinks. Not the best meal and will not return.

6/10The taste of the food was reasonably ok. However presentation could have been better. Wait time very long - 45 mins for sandwiches although it didn’t appear to be too busy. Upon arrival although booked in advance we were told they don’t take bookings as were about to ring us even though we had confirmation email of booking. When we went to place order I stood at bar for several minutes without being acknowledged even though there were 3 staff members present. However, 2nd visit to the bar was better. Staff didn’t know soup of the day and took some time to find this out. When food arrived no offer of sauces or asking if food was ok whilst eating. We remained there over an hour after eating and nobody came to collect plates. On departing we noticed many tables were also vacated but had dirty plates on them which was surprising given it wasn’t that busy. Although the food was average it was somewhat overpriced given the quality.

5.5/10Unfortunately there was a coach tour eating at the same time. We waited over an hour to get our food and the food was very average. Luckily, our food was part of a package. Would have really disappointed if we had had to pay for it.

6/10We reserved a table for 5 adults for Sunday carvery. When we arrived we were shown to a table for 4 and the waiter said he would add another small table to the end, but there wasn't one available so he just added another place setting at the end of the table. When we were shown to our table we walked passed a free round table for 6 but were not seated there, and then moments later they sat a party of 3 on the same table for 6. Doesn't make any sense at all. Some of the chairs had totally lost their support and some were also badly stained. The starters and the desserts were very good. The turkey and gammon were good, but my nephew asked for beef and was in fact served lamb which I know should be served pink, but it was totally raw and inedible. There was also no main course vegetarian option which I find difficult to understand in 2024. The roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings were good. The cauliflower cheese, roasted parsnips and swede were rock hard and also inedible. We have had carvery at The Bridgewood Manor in the past about 12 year ago and it was exceptional, but this time it was very disappointing and we won't be returning there again.

10/10We all thoroughly enjoyed the food. Myself & my mum are vegetarian & I had the Mediterranean vegetable burger which was lovely & my mum said the tuna was very tasty & wanted to thank the chef as it was the best tuna steak she’s had. The staff were lovely and we all had a very enjoyable afternoon. Will definitely be back.

3/10We had lunch, which was really nice. We had also booked for the evening meal for 19:30. We arrived at about 19:20 and ordered drinks, which came pretty quickly we also ordered our food. After a 40-minute wait, I was told there was no lobster to go with my surf and turf, but I could have salmon and prawns instead . I agreed as time was getting on, and we were hungry. Another half hour later, our food came up. I was so disappointed. The prawns were terribly overcooked, as was the salmon. My husband had ordered steak, which was cold. So, no dinner for us. We ended up going in the bar. About 20 minutes later, the manager came in the bar and said the chef had cooked another steak anyway, and if my husband would like it, no offer to me. ☹️we ended up having a bag of crisps and a muffin.. We will be finding somewhere to eat tonight.

8.5/10Lovely Food and nice staff, at a good price for the Sunday Carvery. Recommend. The only issue I would say is the service for drinks was very slow. I had to go and ask a staff member and then still waited for a long while. Also noone asked if we wanted any more either.
