"Overall a lovely evening with friends, food lovely, waitresses great. But just a couple of points that niggled me. Used to come a lot here before covid and always used to do “dine in style” as we did this evening. Bread and butter used to be complimentary but now it’s charged for. Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand cost of things have gone up and I was more than happy to pay, but if I was to say “I’d of liked some bread with my butter” would you know what I mean?… 4 mouthfuls of bread, ie 1 per person (as the menu does state, serves 4) was not impressed by that. The 3 courses we had though were spot on… all beautifully presented tasted as good as they looked. Service, as always, very good, waitresses all very happy friendly and extremely attentive. My next point that annoyed me slightly was when we went down to the casino tables. Love a game of roulette, used to be a 25p, 50p £1 table… now all tables were £1… then to be told our £5 chip that we got in our dine in style package couldn’t be changed for £1 chips the £5 had to be played in one go. All for places needing to build money back up after covid, cost of living increases etc… but in all honesty it could potentially do more harm than good. May sound daft after having such a nice evening, but I won’t be as quick to head back, and unfortunately where I used to rave to friends family about how good it was, that will be the thing now, how good it “was” and not “is”…"
