From we sat foot in the Hilton we were greeted very warmly by staff some of them still quite young which was very refreshing, the food was lovely but the soup although very flavoursome was too thin and more like milk, so a bit more texture would have been better. Ambience was amazing

We have used this deal several times before but recently the portion sizes appear to be getting smaller. On our last visit the portion of chips with the burger didn’t even reach double digits. I can understand they need to make money on such a good deal but I wonder if this is also what they are doing for full paid meals and if so it would in no way be value for money. The staff as ever were friendly and polite and are a credit to the Hilton. Would maybe go again with this deal but most likely not get the same order

Pros - The Groupon deal. The friendly bar staff. Cons - the restaurant staff seemed to be on work experience from the local high school. Very nice people but from mispronouncing the wines to loitering at the end as if we must order something else (obvs not liking we had a voucher) the food was tasty but my chicken was pink in the middle. We also had to ask for water for the table even though water glasses on the table. Again, this is surely down to training staff. The bar staff were lovely but two double vodkas and one tonic £47:50!! That’s London prices - scandalous.
Riverside Restaurant and BarResponded on June 16, 2025
Hi Rebecca Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the Groupon deal and found our bar staff friendly and welcoming. We're sorry to learn that your experience in the restaurant didn’t meet expectations. Your comments regarding staff training, service, and food quality are important to us. We aim to provide a high standard across all areas, and it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. We'll be reviewing these points with the team to ensure improvements are made, particularly around service consistency and food preparation. Thank you again for your honest review. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a more seamless experience. Best regards Sarah
