"Absolutely terrible! We were partly to blame for not recognizing the warning signs and continuing to order at this 'restaurant', despite all indications that it would be a bad experience. Even the lady at the lovely B&B where we were staying tried to warn us. When we mentioned we had booked a table at the Queens Head for dinner, she looked surprised and mentioned that if we didn't like anything on the menu, they could always make us sausage and chips. That should have been warning sign number one! We had booked a table based on the promise of 'quality' food and a fine dining experience, but when we arrived, the waitress seemed uninterested, didn't acknowledge our booking, and didn't even ask for our name. She directed us to a table with a chair practically on top of a fire hydrant and asked if it would be suitable. Warning sign number two! The laminated menu on our table had photos of cheap 'sharing nibble plates' for £2.50, and the rest of the menu consisted mainly of dirty fries and nachos. Warning sign number three! The waitress was clueless about the menu and unhelpful when we asked questions. When we asked about the chicken curry, she simply said it was 'just chicken' and when asked about side dishes, she just said 'vegetables'. When we asked what kind of vegetables, she gave us a confused shrug and said, 'they are just vegetables!' Warning sign number four! The carrot and coriander soup was the best dish we had, but the Salmon and Dill Fish cake starter was obviously a cheap frozen fish cake fried to death with a grey, fishless middle. The Vegetable Curry was flavorless and served so hot it was almost boiling, with a side of dry white rice. The Chicken Breast was cooked decently but served on slightly raw potato stacks. Most of the food seemed reheated. To top it off, the prices were astronomical - £10.95 for the fish cake starter, £23.95 for the chicken, and £17.95 for the curry - all steep prices for such poor quality food. We didn't stay for dessert. The bill came to nearly £70 for 2 courses and 2 drinks, which was the final insult. Not one waitress checked on our food, and when I left half of my main course untouched, she abruptly asked if I was finished and cleared our plates. Don't be fooled by the website promising a top-quality experience - steer clear of this place."

"My wife and I eat at Audela perhaps 2 or 3 times a year and without exception it 's always fantastic. Yes, it 's probably the most expensive place to eat in Berwick, but not only is it a proper 'occasion ' to eat there, the food is fabulously prepared, presented and served. The interior of the restaurant is also just lovely and it has a nice vibe plus, it 's dog friendly. Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, while the drinks menu features a good range of wine, fizz, spirits and beer. The vegetables in particular are always great. The portion sizes are perfectly pitched such that three courses are just perfect without feeling you 've over indulged. I 'm vegetarian and while the menu is limited the choices are always delicious the twice baked soufflé is fantastic plus it 's always worth having a chat to see if Craig, the chef can rustle something else up for you. And should the treacle tart be on the desert menu, just make sure you leave some space for it. It 's the best thing ever. In fact start with the treacle tart and work backwards : Finally, you 've got The Barrels and The Curfew just a few metres away should you fancy a good pint plus a walk around the walls to burn it all off."

"Terrible... Popped in for spot of lunch with our one year old, customer service was bad from the start the barmaid appeared to have a bad attitude. After ordering a kids chicken nugget chips and beans and literally 5 min wait the chicken came out pink, the chips under cooked and covered in salt bear in mind was for a 18month year old toddler! I expressed my dissatisfaction and said I wanted a refund, however I left with my family without it as they could clearly do with all the money they can get to clèan the place up. Wouldn't give the food to my dog let alone my toddler! If you want a nice meal avoid this place at all costs!!!! As for the response from the owner I'm guessing you've seen the reviews in the past regarding the attitude of the large ginger girl, seems to me you need to retrain your staff in manners as she was the offender yet again! I've been raised to speak to people how they speak to you, so after the food came out raw which is not below standard its simply unacceptable especially off the children's menu! Of course i changed my attitude to match your staffs, which is why i left so fast as I didnt want to cause a scene as looked like the place was struggling enough..Seems to me you need a new cook and barmaid as both were terrible..and individual menus for the tables would be nice I've never had to walk up to the bar in any place to view the menu? I mean wow!!!! Perhaps it's the owner that's the problem? Bad management equals bad business!"

"now I rarely use 5 stars, as I believe there is always room for improvement. amran looks a very inconceivable place from the outside and once inside it looks its typical Indian restaurant. but I have to ignore all this, as eating is sooo lovely. both my partner and I have agreed that it is the best Indian curry we had. most Indian restaurants I have a lot of choices on the menu, but really, they can share this number by at least three (chicken, lamb and king prawn are all the same). but here were the choices different from any other Indian restaurant I met. service good, cleanliness good and many nearby parking spaces. if I'm ever in berwick, that'll be my goto restaurant!"
