I recently attended a wedding at Peckforton Castle and thought the food was dreadful. I was astounded to find out the food and drinks package was £100 per guest. For that I got: * the worst, dish-water tasting soup I have ever tasted * a stodgy, tasteless vegetarian stew (which seemed to consist of carrots, some dumpling and some pale-looking tasteless "gloop" * a bowl of strawberries and cream * approx 1-2 glasses of very average wine. The Marks and Spencer Dine In for £10 is much tastier and filling than the food served here. What's more the staff who were waiting on the tables didn't seem ot have much of a clue about what they were doing. In the evening there was a very small buffet, mainly a few wraps, some chicken legs and some potato wedges. I understand the new owners have made some improvements to the activities on offer and the interior of the castle, but they could do with providing some training to their staff on customer service. In fact, when we raised some of our concerns with management we also found them very lacking in customer service too.
