Wow. This place has improved SO much since the last time I came in. Its great for sunny days when the kids can run riot in the grounds & nearby playground- far enought to be seen but not heard! The food was top notch with an amazing Sunday Roast option of 2 veggie options- Quorn or nut-roast: it's great to... More

First time we have eaten out on Christmas day and was worried that we would be crammed in and rushed. I was very pleasantly suprised to find a lovely large table for the four of us, the food was lovely and the staff were relaxed, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. All in all, a very enjoyable day was... More

It appeared that everything on the menu comes from a central kitchen somewhere and is either microwaved or boil in the bag type preparation. Would it be too much to ask that the chefs in the kitchen actually have some skill in that they can create a simple dish without having to open a bag? Nice dining room though and... More

visited the greaves park yesterday for sunday lunch. service was fair but felt let down with my turkey sunday roast. The meat was a little bit scrappy and the vegetables limited to just carrots and broccoli. Had expected much better. It was a shame cause i normally really enjoy it when i order of the main menu.

Since the Greaves Park changed hands, we have tried to return there on several occasions, but although the menu looks apetizing, the story is always the same - the chef simply sin't able to pull of what he promises. As a result we usually end up with dried out, slightly burned and not very tasty food. After four return attempts... More

Visited the Greaves Park Hotel on Sunday 22nd for the first time. Our reasons for going was the local advertising and excellent reports in the local tourist brochures. When our food didnt arrive after 55 mins. (until this point we knew there was a delay because we overheard a waitress telling the people next to us that there was a... More

Visited the Greaves Park Hotel for the first time in a few years to find it'd changed hands and is now marketed at customers with large wallets and small appetites. The menu is ridiculously over-priced for what it is and the food was pretty abysmal. Salad was brown and obviously past its sell-by date and portions were generally too small.... More

We visited on March 26th with family from Canada. We ordered our meal at 2.50pm and it wasn't served until 3.30pm, (after asking where our meal was). I was told meals take 15-20 minutes to prepare??? Ordered a cup to tea for my Mother, had to chase them up again. My son ordered a coke at the bar and was... More
