The Waverley Inn

Food was very good as usual but service was so slow. Saw a lot of fist bumping between staff- top tip, maybe check on customers first and then fist bump all you want.

Dirty floor and seating (clearly from the previous day). Staff experience obviously an issue, huddled mainly at the bar together chatting for most of our visit. Wouldn't expect to see staff chewing in the restaurant and leaving their subway sandwiches along the bar either. Long gap between starters and mains. Chased children's meals, was told "I'll check for you" then saw waitress go back to the bar after she'd been to the kitchen, rather than return with an update. The meals turned up 5 minutes later but she hadn't come back to say anything. One meal sent back, replaced with an alternative and taken off the bill without being asked at least. Food fine for 'nice pub standard', but disappointing when at these prices. Paid service charge but to be honest did not feel justified. Didn't seem worth feeding back to the staff as they seemed more interested in having a chat. Paid up and left. First time visit but do not consider worth a second given service and value for money.

We had a lovely meal with my son and his girlfriend. The restaurant was nicely laid out and created a lively atmosphere. Not too noisy, whilst being almost full. The menu is a delight for meat lovers. Service was first class including the lovely touch of pre-oredered first cocktails. Main foccachia for the table followed by a chateaubriand, bavette steak and wagyu burger. The CB was not particularly to my liking and was mentioned to the staff as it was too tough. The bavette was delicious as was the burger. Deserts were gorgeous too. Without prompting the team provided a concession on the bill for the CB feedback. Great job all round Waverley.

Great venue, dog and child friendly. Decorative wine bar feel with comfy surroundings. Food was hot and tasty Great price. Walked in and was served but booking in advance would be advised.
