Being Mother’s Day, all mothers were made feel very special when greeted by Chad with a glass of bubbles. What a lovely touch that set the scene for an enjoyable experience. The set menu was very tasty, service and wait staff were friendly and attentive. Overall hubby and I had another relaxed and enjoyable lunch. Thanks to the whole team. 😀

We had a great time at the Cri, welcomed by Chad who seated us at our favourite table and attended to us with a lovely familiarity, knowing what we usually drink and recommending drinks and meals we might enjoy. Which created a really great experience. There are some new staff learning the ropes, and it was nice to see how they are settling into their roles. The food was pretty good too. We love the Cri and will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal of roast beef and fish and chips, starting with an entree of stuffed figs which were delicious. The wait staff were attentive and food arrived quickly. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great place to dine.

The staff were lovely. The food was great. While they had run out of the roast beef, they gave my husband a couple of yorkshire puddings with his steak which he was chuffed with.
