We were staying in the Abbey Hotel on a dinner bed and breakfast deal. We were able to choose from a 3 course menu all of which sounded very nice. Starters were OK, I had halloumi and beetroot but it was a little short on beetroot and overly sweet with balsamic. My husband had gravlak which he enjoyed. Both offered bread but had one bite and left it as it was stale. For mains I had chicken and mash with onions and green beans. It needed another veg on the plate and again was overly sweet with another heavy handed addition of balsamic. My husband had 'crispy ' pork belly the majority of the pork was inedible as rather than being crispy it was an un crisped layer of fat and rather unpleasant....
The Bramblings is located inside the Abbey Hotel, where I was staying. It's just to the right of reception as you enter the hotel.As you go in, there's a bar serving the usual suspects beerwise.

We dined here on a Saturday evening and the staff were very attentive and professional. We had 3 courses and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Only small niggle would be the scallops should be larger but apart from that we really enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. Big bonus was the fact they had Albarino which is a delicious Spanish wine.
We met friends here for our annual Christmas lunch and could not have asked for a better experience. The all you can eat carvery had a wide selection of starters, mains and desserts and all good quality. The service was friendly, quick and non-intrusive. Amazing value for a Sunday lunch!!!

Had afternoon tea here last week. It was done very well. Plenty of cakes plus scones. Could of done with a few more sandwiches, but it was a real treat. In January if 4 people go you only pay for 3 so good value
