I'll start by saying that I've been to the Spottiswoode Hotel a few times in the last three or so years and typically I've always really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. But my last dining experience will most likely be just that - my last.
My family made a booking at the Spottiswoode Hotel for a birthday - the booking was for 10 people and it seems that the idea of catering for 10 people at the same time caused the kitchen to implode.
The staple pub dishes on the table such at the fish and chips, shepherds pie and warm chicken salad were dismal and everything else (especially the lamb casserole that I ordered) had so much salt in it that I could feel my insides shrivelling up from dehydration. Granted, when we provided feedback about the food, the staff did heavily discount our bill however it should even get to that point.
I hope that the Spottiswoode has hit their low and works up from here - I'll be back to give it another go if I happen to see a better review on here. *sad panda* read more
