Oh dear! What a difference a change of ownership can make. I have enjoyed lunch and dinner here for many years. For many years I have received consistency in customer service, food quality food and whole some portions. Good value for money in a beautiful historic setting and great location. My go to place for birthdays or occasions as I knew that I would enjoy. What has happened ? I am so disappointed! Lack luster service, gone is the friendly chat banter and the attentiveness of the waitress/waiter in looking after you. The portion sizes normally a plateful! What has happened to the portion sizes?

As always our meal was lovely staff great and surroundings lovely

As usual we always have a lovely lunch food was great staff attentive and friendly and surroundings pleasant

I have been going to Cronies for several years for lunch with friends. Meal always nice, but after yesterday's mean we will definitely not be back. Soup was like dishwasher and very salty and it was cold. Sent it back which wasn't a problem for the staff. Definitely won't be back, plus there is a price increase.

Booked a table for six for lunch recently and was very disappointed. We choose the Golden Lion as it is within easy walking distance from the train station. We have been a few times and the food and service have been fine. Unfortunately, on this occassion the first food to arrive was cold and had to be sent back. On the second attempt the food was still luke warm and was not what was described on the menu. The waiting staff were quick to deal with all issues and did allow us a free bottle of wine, which was appreciated, but did not make up for the unappetising food. Needless to say we did not stay for desert. From listening to comments from other diners it appears we were not alone in feeling let down.

Went for evening meal . Limited choice for vegetarian meals . The restaurant was busy . I ordered vegetable fajitas. The vegetables were a pile of fried onions and a few slices of red and yellow peppers. There were no other vegetables evident such a green beans , mini corn on the cob or mushrooms. There was three mini tortillas which were not warmed up . The flavour was nice but for the price of the meal it could have been better. Staff were nice and good service.

We got let down by the hotel we were staying in as they had no kitchen staff turn up. On reflection they did us a favour as we managed to get booked in at the Golden Lion, the food and service was spot on, we would definitely go back.

Good selection on menu, food wholesome but not fantastic, service very good.

Great lunch, staff very attentive and excellent service

Excellent club lunch in Cronies Restaurant, Thank you

We have visited a few times and loved it each time. We drove for an hour as it's such a lovely restaurant. We had the Sunday roast yesterday followed by desert. The sticky toffee so delicious. Our whole meal was delicious! The staff so nice and attentive. One of our fave places to eat. See you again so guys. Bravo to the chef

Food was OK.service was very poor.

Excellent value for money. Main meal was delicious, never seen a salad like it. Scones and cakes very tasty.

As always we had a lovely lunch staff brilliant surroundings lovely sorry to hear Dee has left she was always lovely to us

Great food and friendly quick service as always

Evening meals: food was delicious but several dishes were disappointingly unavailable; service was poor (slow, staff were inattentive & forgetful) Breakfast: food was average (tinned tomatoes), staff attentive

Very good food. Service was a bit forgetful as we had to ask for water three times! A lot of the menu items were not available which was a shame but overall we enjoyed our meal.

Food was amazing staff were very professional and friendly
