The Crown Club At The Old Government House

We made a reservation at this restaurant based on other reviews, but upon arrival, they had no record of our booking. Despite the lack of customers, we decided to stay. The restaurant offered a set 3-course menu for £45 or a limited a la carte menu. We found the dishes on the a la carte menu unappealing and opted for the set menu instead. The scallops with tomato salsa and lemon oil lacked flavor and the salsa was strange and bitter. The rack of lamb was undercooked and the vegetables were also not cooked to our liking. However, the desserts were enjoyable, especially the chocolate sphere with a rich sauce and honeycomb. Overall, the experience was disappointing in terms of both food quality and value. We hope it was just an off night for the restaurant.

We booked this restaurant with other reviews. Upon arrival, they had no idea of our booking that had been confirmed earlier this day, but no matter where the place was barely more custom. There's a reason I suspect. We were offered a selection of a set 3 course menu at £45 or the a la carte that had a limited selection of dishes, these were not overpriced, but did not appeal so that we feathered for the set menu. I started with the scallops served with tomatoes salsa and lemon oil. It lacked taste and the tomato sauce was just strange. Very bitter tasting and has not improved the court at all. Next was the lamb frame. Three pieces to be served pink. Unfortunately, this was also well understated for pink. It came with some vegetables. The carrots were also understated. The desserts were pleasant and the chocolate ball I had (served with a rich sauce and honey) was delicious. Overall a bad experience for both food and value. I hope it was just one of these nights

We made a reservation at this restaurant based on other reviews. When we arrived, they had no record of our booking that had been confirmed the day before. However, the service was subpar. We were given the option of a set 3-course menu for £45 or a limited selection from the a la carte menu. We opted for the set menu as the dishes on the a la carte menu did not appeal to us. I started with the scallops with tomato salsa and lemon oil, which lacked flavor and the tomato sauce was odd-tasting. The lamb dish was supposed to be served pink but was overcooked. The vegetables, including the carrots, were bland. The desserts were enjoyable, particularly the chocolate ball with a rich sauce and honey. Overall, the experience was disappointing in terms of both the food quality and value. I hope it was just an off night for them.

Beautiful place for afternoon. we could sit outside, which was a bonus. foods were abundant and additional items, if necessary added. the personal was attentive and welcoming, would recommend for the afternoon.

Amazing hotel, incredible location, great location, recipe staff are excellent. Bar employees need a little more training, all love people, but not much presentation about drinks. highly recommended.
