The Coniston Kitchen

The staff were lovely. That's the redeeming feature of this Holiday Inn restaurant. I ordered the potato gnocchi with a creamy chive sauce, mushrooms, spinach and peas. The meal that was brought to me was gnocchi indeed, but with a creamy pesto sauce. There were no mushrooms at all, and the spinach had been swapped for rocket. None of these changes had been announced, and it felt like I was just eating a different meal to what I ordered. The meal was decent at most; to be honest I expected nothing more from eating at a Holiday Inn. I did however expect to be served what I ordered. Also, for the vegans out there, avoid no vegan options are offered.

I’ve never come across such a surly and miserable waitress as I did in this place. Unbelievable! We then heard her telling other patrons at the bar in a loud voice that she was leaving. Well, hurrah for that. I bet the management are delighted. God, she was grumpy. Such a shame as after she plonked the plates down in front of us, the food was actually quite tasty. I had the salmon which was perfect. Food great..... shame about the service!

Group of us went for a xmas dinner on Saturday night,we was very disappointed not only was it very cold it seemed very unorganised and it wasn't even busy, as we got up to get in line for the cavery we couldn't believe what the chef did in which I would rather not elaborate on only to say we wouldn't eat the meat, very unprofessional, I'm sure this is a lovely hotel but if you are going to put on events please get it right.

Food was ****! Only one person behind the bar during the meal. A Muslim colleague had a sausage on his salmon meal and the turkey meal was swimming in gravy. Staff were couldn't care less. Not very helpful. The poor fellow behind the bar was run of his feet.
