Food very good but waiting time for both courses was far too long. Handled very well by the manager but left feeling disappointed as it was an anniversary meal.

Highly recommend The Vernon, really enjoyed the lasagne (though beware the side salad comes with a dressing, think it was mustard, and may not be to everyone’s taste) and the sticky toffee pudding was divine! Looking forward to a return visit.

Staff were very responsive, pleasant and appeared happy in their work. The food was very good value and the proportions were generous. The surroundings were clean and attractive and we will return soon.

Generally a nice visit however one of our party who never complains found his starter plate to be dirty and his main course Beer Battered Cod very greasy. It appeared to have gone straight from the fryer to the plate without being drained. So fish and chips were swamped with grease. Waitress was very co operative and took the meal off the bill. Everything else was fine.

Beautiful food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Some of the portions could have been bigger but the presentation was lovely and the fizz was constantly topped up. A lovely evening.

Waiting staff very friendly and restaurant nicely presented. but we waited over an hour for starters for four people. Steaks were over cooked, fish was dry, steak pie was abysmal (was left) chips were over cooked and somehow soggy, vegetables overcooked - all round the food was disappointing. Which is a pity as the pub is nicely situated..... don’t think we will be going back ☹️

Lovely food in a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were attentive when we needed to be but also left me and my friend to just sit and chat after we had finished eating. I would definitely go here again.

Food was good, service was ok but rushed as there was a Halloween theme in the bar area with a very loud band. They had run out of olives which I thought was not very good as it was still on the menu, a substitute was provided but not the same and we were charged the same price.

Fabulous food and good choice on evening meal. The staff were run of their feet and all seemed to be running around instead of a calmer manner. The only criticism with the food was that the cherry pie was a poor portion size compared to other puddings we ordered. Highly recommended.

On the whole good food and excellent service, let down by the pastry on the cherry pie - not sweet, certainly not short to the bite and not cooked in places.

The food menu isn't the same as that shown on the website. If you want chips...perhaps a burger it is fine, but unfortunately the food doesn't match the decor which is smart and modern nor the drinks on offer.

Beautiful hotel/restaurant. Friendly staff. Service and food very good. Only minor carp is that we were sat very close to the kitchen, so it was noisy. The ambience wasn't great. But I would certainly recommend.

Food was good but on the pricey side, waiting staff need to put a bit more interaction with customers, it seemed like it was all a bit too much of an effort for them to exchange pleasantaries with the clientel. With a bit more effort it could make the dining experience a lot better.
