Hunting Lodge

Glad the hunting lodge restaurant was took over because the food is much better than before. I was here yesterday to celebrate my daughters 13th birthday party, 20 adults & 10 children which is a lot of pressure but the kitchen & staff coped very well. The restaurant was lovely & cool great air conditioning table set up was spot on worked well. Starters where different level chicken tempura was amazing never had anything like it cooked to perfection with balsamic vinegar but it was the sauce that set if off some sort of salad dressing. I don't like soup much other than Campbells tomato soup lol but the soup of the day Brocoli and onion soup was beautiful everyone loved it, super start. I had the sirloin chargrilled steak cooked medium & even though it was cooked perfectly pink the steak was very bland I had to use salt & pepper which I don't usually do, onion rings where tasty not sickening lightly battered chips where just okay & the garlic sàutes I've had better the family and friends loved the Lasagne, Sunday roast, chicken supreme, satay chicken & smoked haddock the supreme chicken Is a big portion so if you have a big appetite I recommend. I managed to taste a few desserts smelt great & looked the part I recommend the sticky toffee pudding & fudge cake, mint cheesecake isn't for me & unfortunately cremè brulee was dissapointing tasting for the first time I can't say much custard with a caramelised sugar top not for me bland & not very filling texture is strange. Kids menu brilliant good options but unfortunately kids meals where poor especially the sausages real frustrating that most restaurants these days seem to be cooking eg frozen Richmond sausages in a deep fryer terrible just to save money as they don't go out of date nowhere near as quick as the fresh fridge sausages the difference is night and day they where like leather please change these? Cocktails freezing cold real refreshing & 2 for £13 I would highly recommend I will be back for the drinks alone. Easy parking out front and easy access not so sure for a wheelchair before people ask steps out front & steps in restaurant only toilets we used where up back so I'm not sure a wheelchair would be a good idea. Main bar & ice cream parlour nextdoor same building & chinese outside premises always handy if in bar for a drink overall great place.

Chicken tempura was amazing. All the food was great and to top it of staff where brilliant. Good pint og Guinness

I travelled from Meath yesterday to take my sisters out for lunch so I obviously wanted everyone to enjoy the experience. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, a very clever menu which offers a good selection of well prepared dishes using a minimal amount of ingredients, something I love to see in a well run kitchen to reduce food waste. Great value also, 2 courses for 4 and a bottle of wine , £94.00 before a tip. The staff are just lovely also, friendly, efficient and super helpful, the 2 girls working yesterday afternoon were a breath of fresh air. Thank you for making my sister treat a success.

Sports bar with lots of TVs but not a loud and raucous place. Good friendly vibe. Great bar staff. Great Guinness, and also serves Guinness Zero which is damned good for drivers !

Cheap stuff and over charge with those foods. Lasagne is cold in the middle. Sirloin steak meat is frozen stuff, menu mention fresh meat never go back. Do not go to this place, please

Great food, place was cold but I did go in when it just opened so maybe needs a little time to warm up.

The picture below is of a kids sausage meal, £7 for below quality food . Complaint was ignored , starters were nice but pricey. 2x 22 steaks . 1 of which was OK. The other was honestly a disgrace and should never of been plated up for anyone. I refused to pay for it and was told that Tommy wasn't there to take it off the bill so no refund was possible. and if it was refunded the waitress could be sacked. When we were leaving 1 steak was taken of the bill finally on Tommy say so No apology but told I could get a Chinese on way home when mentioned that we where having to go home to sort out dinner. I had previously been to yum at Hunting Lodge on at least 5 or 6 occasions which wife and kids and each time had spent roughly 100£, happily as always enjoy starters and mains are usually reasonable. Thee staff are usually gr8 and work hard. The Road needs a nice place to go and eat in. This could have been a 1 off but how the compliant was handled with was disrespectful and lacked class. I couldn't pay 7£ again for a kids meal knowing that the management think it's OK to serve up the likes as shown by the photo. You have seen the photo above and you are asking me why I only posted 1 star. Strange I hope that this has cleared it up for you.

Staff very friendly, food was excellent, the mint aero cheesecake was delicious. It was also good value for money. Will be back

Went on mother's day with my dad and daughter. Although nice enough we were unfortunately the 3rd sitting of the day and there were a few things not available on the menu. Just a small thing but why did they insist on putting a puddle of gravy all over the dinner? Some people either don't like it at all or just like a little. Better to offer on the side in a jug. Staff were amazing though. Thanks

Well run bar/restaurant. Great atmosphere, food and excellent pints.
