Park Inn

The best thing about Park Inn was the service, it was excellent. There was a warm welcome when we arrived and the staff were very helpful all evening. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t as good. The menu looked interesting but the meals were rather tasteless. I ordered a curry which was very mild, and had very little flavour. Then when we had coffee at the end it was far too strong! It’s quite a nice room but having black and white photographs of famous people on the wall is not an original idea. It’s not a cheap restaurant and I wasn’t happy to pay so much for boring food.

Richard’s Place

When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised by the lovely interior design of it. So stylish, so modern! This is one of the most popular restaurants in town and it’s very easy to see why. The quality of the food was extremely good and we all had very tasty meals. The starters were wonderful. However, the staff were unfriendly and very slow. They were also disorganized – they gave us the wrong food and forgot to bring the wine. So the food was great and excellent value for money but it was ruined by very, very poor service!
