Twenty-odd of us enjoyed an early bird special on a friday. We'd pre-booked our orders and was expecting to sit together however we were tucked away in a corner over six tables. We rearranged the tables so there were just 3 tables and the waitress said she wouldn't be able to serve us due to health and safety as there... More

We were staying here for 2 nights whilst attending a motorsport event at nearby Donnington Park. We were lucky and got a very good deal £79 b&b for 2 nights. The quality of the rooms, food and service was exceptional given the price we paid. After checking in we were shown to our room which was in what would have... More

Visited on early Saturday night after a days shopping with my Dad. Lots of tables were reserved and at 5.30pm we only just managed to get a table. Given the poor standard of the food, I was somewhat perplexed as to why it was so busy. I only found out why when I went to pay the bill and discovered... More

My friends and I decided to go for a Christmas meal, there was 7 of us in total. We booked ahead and paid a deposit in advance. Unfortunately one of the ladies took ill and she was unable to go. We were still charged for her meal, we wouldn't have minded this but we weren't told this at the time... More

Had our departments Christmas lunch for 18 of us. We pre ordered as requested to ensure the food would be ready. Unfortunately long waits for each course. When the food arrived it was cold, sent back the soup, each of the main courses were disappointing, veg reheated, potatoes soggy, and turkey tough. Deserts ok but not a lot could go... More

I usually shy away from staying at pubs, being fearful of small rooms and loads of noise. I gave the C&H a go, from having met people there a couple of times before. The rooms are not above the pub - which is geared mostly as an eatery - but in a separate wing. My room was very spacious, and... More

The hotel is really easy to find and although on a main road and part of the Marstons chain it is really quite pretty. We arrived on Friday night at about 8:30pm. The pub was fairly busy and the guy who checked us in looked quite stressed. At first he couldn't find our booking despite me saying I had a... More

I arranged to for a room to treat my girlfriend and I to a night away from the kids. We are both in our mid forties and wanted somewhere peaceful and quiet. I contacted the Crewe and Harpur and was dealt with by Lynne (Manager) who worked her socks off and arranged everything for our stay. I asked for flowers... More
