I ordered a bacon panini. It was supposed to have blue cheese and tomato chutney in it. What I received was actually insulting. A slice of bacon with the tiniest bit of blue cheese and tomato chutney. The bread was a cheap baguette. It cost almost £10, the profit they must make on them is a killing! I complained to the waitress and whilst she did take the price of the panini off the bill I basically ended up going hungry.

Basically, it's only good for a drink.Goat's cheese bruschetta is the only item worth eating on their menu. We had niçoise salads, poor quality vegetables, quail eggs overdone probably days old, hallumi grilled last week, salmon done in the morning served cold and chicken old as a shoe. We can also agree about the pizza comment of another, no difference than bad frozen pizza.Unplanned visit on the way home, seating area is enjoyable as always, today we decided to have food... nearly a total disappointment!

Shockingly bad service, even when just ordering drinks. Tried to order at the bar, was told a waiter would come soon to the table, nobody did. They've removed the app ordering. Not even a busy time! Sat there waiting for a drink for 30 minutes.

I find the atmosphere here very relaxing, the live music is good for the soul, food and drink is nice and reasonable for the location. When it’s busy, it can take a while, but I’ve never had any complaints and am a regular visitor with work. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately poor service throughout. We chose Merlin’s Bar for a light lunch, what a mistake. After numerous attempts to attract staff attention we finally placed our order for food deciding to have a drink after we had eaten. We waited over 45 minutes and we’re about to leave when our food arrived, Poor presentation accompanied tasteless poor quality food! A complete waste of our time, a long wait and nothing worth waiting for. Not being prepared to suffer further we decided to pay , leave and find refreshments elsewhere. When paying we made clear our long wait and poor food and we were listened to and politely ignored, which seemed to be the ethos of the ‘service’ offered in this establishment. Living locally we have been fairly regular users of the various facilities available, but very sadly from the early days when Mr Terry Matthews would be seen around the hotel its standards have continued to fall. After yet another further disappointing experience, despite over 20years of visiting l have no intention of returning. This was one continued disappointment too many.

Can’t comment on food but service was dreadful. 45 minutes to serve when one deep at bar. Then £7.50 a pint in wales?! Are you sick?!

Service really mixed, some days great but totally unreliable. Today they switched off the qr code ordering. When challenged they said it was so they can offer table service". However

There was one waitress manning the whole floor so service took forever. The menu is expensive but the food is cheap and disgusting. The bruschetta had a total of two sad cherry tomatoes on it and the cheese panini the tiniest smear of cheese and salsa. The gluten free bread is the cheap corner shop kind that had already disintegrated by the time the waitress got it over to our table.

Slow service, poor quality food. Wouldn't mind paying the additional prices if the quality and service was better, sadly it hasn't improved since the last time I came here a year ago. It wasnt particularly busy but still had to ask somone if i could order food and a drink after waiting at the table for at leaat 20 minutes. Same when we wanted the bill to leave. Plenty of Staff working and all very friendly but seemed to all be very inexperienced, definitely lacks the level of customer service that you would expect from an established 5* hotel.
