Well worth a visit!

Excellent food, excellent service and value for money. The menu is simple but with plenty of choice, portion sizes generous but not over facing and the food is good honest home cooked food by a chef who obviously knows what he is doing. It’s a long time since I’ve eaten at the Bay and I will be going back for more.

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.

Rip off, avoid at all coste

Absolute rip off!! Do not bother going, save your well earned money and go elsewhere. £10.45 for a pint of shandy and an orange and Lemonade. Absolutely scandalous. When I queried the cost, the bar tender looked sheepishly at the till, she knew it was overpriced and looked embarrassed. How a pub can charge those prices is ridiculous. In a city centre trendy bar I would expect that, not in a local pub.

Came hungry left even hungry!! Not good at all

Ordered a 'special' red tai curry worth £20. Came in a tiny dish, rock hard microwaved rice, raw slimy prawns and a huge dollop of cheap curry sauce. Both soup starters we had came cold and one tasted as though it was drenched in Sambuca! Came hungry left hungry. Expected so much better from other reviews but wont be returning anytime soon! Awful

Good value for money

Went for impromptu lunch. Excellent service. Food was lovely and very good value for money. I chose the scampi and changed the sides due to my foodie intolerances and this was accommodated without fuss. Staff very friendly.

Very disappointing to say the least

I was looking forward to returning for a Sunday lunch of the highest quality but what I was served fell considerably short. For starters the wife and I shared mussels. I often order mussels as I'm very partial to one from time to time. These were the worst I've ever had the misfortune to eat. Must of been frozen v strange taste. Really really poor. For main I had the lamb rump. At £26 this was quite possibly the most overpriced meal over ever eaten. 3 small tiny fatty pieces of lamb.

Unnacceptable

Our stay at the Cottons on 11th and 12th February(which was essential travel for my father's funeral) the heating didn't work, eventually found someone, who came and reset the thermostat, but went off again soon after, the second night was the same it was -1/2 outside, someone brought us a electric heater at about 10.30 pm . The shower didn't get hot. Had to ask for coffee, teaspoons etc . Frayed carpets. Very unpleasant stay in very personal circumstances. Room 148

Family meal

We went up after the refurb and yes what a difference the deco and the place looks amazing well done to the new tenants and all the staff. We ordered food which the Chef Colin always delivers and the quality is amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely food.

Myself and my partner went for a meal after work. I've got to say the steak was perfect. I always order medium rare and in a lot of restaurants it can be hit and miss. But it was perfect. My partners pie was delicious. Loved the Christmas decorations and ambience. Even though the manageress was on her own there was no fault in service. We will be back very soon.

Poor food - rude manager

We ordered two meals which arrived very quickly but unfortunately the chips were cheap/ tasteless and there was a drizzle of gravy on the mince and onion pie meal (the pie was a small piece for a £12 meal along with cheap supermarket chips). We asked for a little more gravy and to our surprise found they had charged £1.50 for the extra. Upon bringing this to the attention of the lady on the till, the manager rudely interjected and stated that they would charge for it.

Poor food and service so very Thwaites

We booked a meal on Sunday 14th May for a friends birthday. We all ordered our meals and then ordered drinks. The men ordered blonde beer only to be told it was off and they would have to wait. I ordered a a 5 been chilli. When it came it was cold and dry I sent it back only to receive the same meal back with some greenery on top.
