    We had a large group including youngsters and we were allocated a private room which worked so well with the kids. Staff amazing and everyone was more than happy with the dishes they chose. Highly recommend this hotel.

    The lady who greeted us didn’t crack a smile. I had the pork. It was completely flavourless. My son had the carbonara, ew, how was that even created???? Fresh is best guys. Would never go back.

    We love Tuesday night Parma night at the Sporting Club, the meal is filling and a generous size. The chips are crisp and salty and the salad has a zing to it. For a quick meal and excellent value, you can't beat it. The atmosphere is welcoming, with various options including the dining room, more casual bar area or outside, and dogs are welcome. It's fabulous to have this gem as one of our locals.

    Still great food but they seemed a bit short staffed this time so the service was much slower - I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end :(
