The Croft Gastropub - Richmondshire

Please read reviews on The Croft Hotel. This gastro pub is part of the hotel. We had two evening meals here. The menu was limited due to changes in kitchen management. The food selected, was delivered promptly, well presented and tasty. The prices were very...reasonable.

Bed and room spacious with tw at the foot of the bed. staff very helpful and friendly. eating was beautiful and huge portions.

We attended the croft hotel for Christmas day lunch that we had been looking forward to it was the worst Christmas lunch my family and myself have ever had the starter was inedible it was some kind of warm prawn cocktail which was disgusting it....The prawns were of very poor quality and over cooked. The sorbet which tasted like a frozen fresh orange was not like any sorbet we have ever had. No one could eat it . The main meal was cold and again very poor quality. In in whole the meal was terrible. Although we did complain it fell on deaf ears and were told to contact Best western ourselves. Which we will be doing . We have visited many restaurants in the past and some have been owned by Best western which were really good. We feel our family Christmas day lunch was spoilt. We will not be returning to the Croft and would definitely not be recommending to anyone.

Very nice food. Plenty of it. Although maybe onion rings were abit over the top and dry batter. Please tell the chef to look up panko batter lol Worth trying rather than trailing to Darlington.

What went wrong ? Had a brill Sunday lunch in August, came back yesterday and it was poor. Turkey dry and tough. Beef tough mashed potatoes had a strange taste. Leeks tough
