    The service was fairly swift and prompt, although there were very few other diners at the time; the food was good and enjoyed by all the party. I was disappointed to be told that parmesan cheese with the pasta dish would be at extra cost, and also that the staff failed to draw our attention to the discount offer for hotel residents. These issues were advised to the hotel management.

    We booked a table for eight on a Sunday lunch promotion on 27th November. We were greeted by have you booked......we were the only customers in the whole restaurant. We waited while the table was set for our party, we noted that during our visit that there were no additional diners in the restaurant. The food portions were small and not good value, we are locals and we do like to support local businesses we also like to eat out often.

    Noise levels were high even though there were not many people in the restaurant. Service was slow. We ordered food and drink at the same time and food arrived before the drinks. We had to ask several times for a jug of water. Their AL10 club discount is misleading. It says £10 welcome voucher, 10% discount on meals. No mention that you get the £10 voucher on your first visit and the 10% on meals on subsequent visits.

    We stayed at the Comet Hotel so it was very convenient to eat there. We also invited my son and his wife to join us. We had a great evening and the good was well prepared and good value. For a quick meal and nice quiet chat, this place is ideal. We would eat here again.

    The place is a gem at my door step. Not sure why it was not thronged for Sunday lunch, but better for us, as we had a very lovely quiet time. We ordered Sunday Roast veg option and was very good, and value for money. Only one little minor point - no veg gravy and hence not given five stars.

    Overall was a lovely restaurant, quite quiet when we went, food was delicious but the desserts were rather small portions for the price, pricing isn’t bad but they do charge you a service fee without telling you…

    Dining at Element Bar & KitchenResponded on September 28, 2022Hi CourtS, many thanks for the review and kind words. My apologies for any confusion regarding the service charge. This is an optional 10% charge, of which 100% gets shared amongst the team, and is explained on the menu. Kind regards

    We came as a group of 5 for dinner last night. The staff were very friendly and quick to take our order. 3 of us chose from the Christmas menu …2 chose from the normal menu both value for money. The presentation of the food was very good and the food did not disappoint, it was absolutely delicious. The salt and pepper squid (starters) was the best I’ve ever had! Ham hock terrine was delicious too. The only criticism I have is the lighting could of been dimmer to give it a bit more of a cosier atmosphere. I will definitely be coming again!!!

    We had a very enjoyable evening. The chips were slightly undercooked but everything else was lovely. We live close by and would come more often if the cost was more reasonable. I understand they are hotel prices but as local residents we don’t need to be paying inflated prices. Perhaps a 10% discount for AL10 members all the time would help fill some more tables.
