   We were met with friendly staff, didn't take long to be seared and our food order to be taken. We had booked the table as we had another event to ho to. The food arrived in time but the macaroni could have been hotter and it came with side salad which isn't jettisoned on the menu. The cheeseburger came with lettuce, sidesalad and coleslaw which isn't mentioned on the menu either. Then the service went downhill after that as a coach party arrived and the staff couldn't cope. It took them along time to come ask about sweets and they had thought we had already ordered them but no-one had asked as they had run out of menus. Disappointing end to a good meal.

   Ordered a pizza as it was £10 Wednesday but had to pay £13.00 as requested 3 toppings which, to me, meant £10 was just for the base.

   We enjoyed our first Sunday lunch in Whitburn. Nice amount of potatoes and gravy! We will definitely return.

   Enjoyable evening meal at reasonable cost Service was a bit slow, this may have been due to the private function however Will return

   Hotel was cold, considering were at the end of October, they should have had the heating on. The battered fish was soggy. Looked liked they used frozen chips. Not great.

   service very slow though each member of staff was very pleasant. i had roast beef and it said on menu with roast potatoes I got mashed potato but the main point was it was not very warm.It was a gift voucher we received, overall quite disappointed.

    I feal they could definitely do with more staff , the choice of food on the seniors menu could be improved, especially the deserts. The scones we had was very dry and interesting. I certainly won't be rushing back.
