Had an evening meal last week (staying at the hotel). Usual high standard of service and food (stayed here several times). Pan fried sea bass was excellent as was the duck. Also had our breakfast here, very tasty and set us up for the day.

Went for lunch yesterday before going to spend the afternoon in the spa. It was a lovely comfortable clean place. Staff where very friendly. Food was hot tasty and very filling. We had 2 course, If I had to complain my only thing was the mushroom soup was too spicy for my liking but over than that 10/10

Very enjoyable visit for lunch. The food was tasty, fresh and generous (we couldn’t make it to pudding), staff were helpful and friendly. Genuinely dog friendly. Exceptional value for money. Will definitely go back, thank you!

Adults meals were good value for money as they were 3 courses for £10, children’s meals not worth the money unfortunately and were very disappointing. 3 courses for £6.95 for the children making it £3.05 difference between a child and adults. I would have rather got the kids two adult meals than have what we were given. Ordered kids pizzas and they served half a ciabatta bun with tomato and the worlds smallest sprinkle of cheese. My little one wouldn’t even touch it. Questioned it twice and apparently they didn’t have time to prep pizza bases. Would have rather they just told us this when ordering so we could have chosen an alternative meal. Adult meals were nice just a shame about children’s.

I absolutely love this place! the food is simple but outstanding! the prices are unbeatable and the service is always great. A lovely, spacious, country style pub, where dogs are allowed in one area and they also have great facilities to eat outdoors if you choose. Mon-Wed, 3 courses for £10 is unbelievable!

We thought the food overall was great and the service excellent. We had afternoon tea which we really enjoyed. It was a real treat and Shannon looked after us very well. After a long early evening walk we then had our evening meal which was excellent. We had the package menu, there was loads of choice the food was delicious - all 3 courses. . The level of service from Cathy and Louise was excellent and we had a wonderful evening. Breakfast was good. The food was okay but Cathy and Shannon once again looked after us and they were both great. We really enjoyed it. Overall we were very impressed by the staff, Cathy, Louise and Shannon looked after us very well, the food was excellent and we had a very enjoyable stay. Thoroughly recommend it.

We stayed at Derwent Manor for our anniversary on a D B&B basis. Everything about our stay was lovely, upon arrival the staff had placed a card, wine and chocolates in our room. Our evening meal in Prego restaurant was excellent, with very attentive, polite service. The drinks were reasonably priced. This was our second visit to the restaurant and we will definately be back.

Ate at Preggo on three consecutive nights. We were able to make positive choices each time. The food was tasty. We can particularly recommend the mackerel pâté, the Cajun monk fish starters, and the pan roast chicken main. Both wine and food are reasonably priced. Two minor criticisms: mackerel pâté portion size varied over two nights (we chose different things on different nights; and the restaurant is unfamiliar with ‘affogato’. Other than that we’d recommend.

Excellent food. Terrible customer service. The staff need training on the bar menu, as they do not know the difference between the basics of lager and bitter. 4 people checked our drinks order, and still managed to get it wrong, after we had waited 45 minutes for the drinks we were not impressed. We went for a Sunday carvery. It was not busy, and plenty of staff on duty.

Absolutely fabulous meal. We had a 3 course meal but having been before knew we couldn’t manage the sweet which was boxed up for us to take home. Wide range of all 3 courses and large portions. Fantastic value for money and the pub is well run, including the chef serving on table. A refreshing change to some pubs. Definitely recommend and book so as not to be disappointed

A mixed review. The food we had was lovely however there was one young girl run off her feet because it was understaffed. She was apologising to customers constantly and to make it even worse the chef roared service from the kitchen causing all guests to fall silent. Noone should be spoken to the way that chef spoke. I did email the restaurant but sadly no reply which again is not good for customer service. We left the restaurant without ordering desserts as we didn't want to add any more stress and we felt sorry the the waitress and let down by the whole eating experience which is very disappointing.
