    It was our wedding anniversary and we were eating before we went out to a show. The Hoat was brilliant and made us feel very welcome and wished us happy anniversary with a free Prosecco and it seemed that all the staff on shift new it was our anniversary. Food was great and came in at a reasonable time and not rushed.

    We have been to hard rock many times however sadly this visit wasn’t as good as normally. The food was tasty, but portion noticeably smaller than previous. It was clearly busy and waiting staff under a lot of pressure however we had to ask 3 different staff for sauce before we managed to get it.

    Some of options have been removed from the menu, not as much choice as there once was. Over priced for what you get, don't think ill be back again in a hurry.

    Starting with the greeters who are as always friendly and welcoming, couldn't fault them! With one of our group having a seafood allergy, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that safe protocal was used in preparing our food. That alone helps us to enjoy the meal. The food, as always, was top-notch. Our meals varied from Mac chicken cheese, ribs and grilled chicken sandwich, plus deserts, all of which were delicious. Drinks we had a variety of cocktails, plus brandy and coke - all thoroughly enjoyed. We had a change of 'crew' halfway through, both were outstanding, the ladies in the shop equally friendly, adding to the full HRC experience. Pricewise, I am a firm believer in getting what you pay for, and at this HRC its worth it for the full experience of good food, great music, and staff who make you feel as if your custom matters and thats the reason why we keep returning

    We ate here for my daughters birthday - when booking the table I mentioned this and requested a seat close to Fred Dursts hat as it was her main reason for wanting to go. We were delighted to find when we got there that we were sat right next to it, the staff were so lovely and welcoming, they wished her a happy birthday and kept it discreet as I'd also mentioned she didn't want any fuss as she's quite shy. Our server was brilliant, food was delicious and served quickly. My girl even received an ice cream sundae with a candle in which was so sweet. Overall we had such a lovely experience, would definitely come back again.

    Was given a Virgin Experience gift for this. Staff we very welcoming when we (myself, husband & guide dog) arrived. Once seated we were handed menu but when mentioned we have a gift card everything changed. Menus were withdrawn & replaced by small card - their “gold menu’. Choice of only 6 things for main, one desert (which was a small child’s portion) brownie & cream & one soft drink, tea & coffee. Very poor choice & the description very deceiving GOLD menu was just couple of burgers, mac cheese, salad & fried chicken strips. So many people rave about this place & was so looking forward to this. Felt like second rate customers because of voucher. Won’t be back as a full paying customer

    Excellent gluten free menu. Was asked about allergens upon arrival which appeared to be standard practice but I had mentioned gluten free on my online booking. Delicious meal (salmon). All staff were professional and courteous. Will hopefully return soon.
