THE PORTLAND LODGE

  Absolutely stunning food, great value for money and huge Yorkie puddings. There was a choice of four meats and loads of veg. Been twice now it's our new favorite place.... read more I have to mention the waiting staff and the chef on the carvery they were all happy and friendly. Can't wait to come back

  My wife & I popped into the Portland off chance on Sunday for lunch . We were fortunate to get a table , the place was booked solid .
We... read more had the carvery , which comes in 3 sizes , small , medium & large . We of course went for large , Wow , it was large ,
The meal was very good value , the service albeit it was a carvery was impeccable , drinks were even brought to our table . We can definitely recommend the Portland & yes we will be back

  We dined a few weeks ago after a recommendation. Although it was very quiet evening we were seated in quite an uncomfortable area of the restaurant. This unfortunately gave us... read more a view of the bar where the staff pulled their masks down to as soon as they were behind. They touched their faces and played with their masks and without (as far as we saw) washing their hands. The waitress who was very polite pulled her mask down to speak which means she might as well not have been wearing one! There was someone not wearing a mask at all which I understand he may have been exempt but I wouldn't have been happy if the food he was serving came to our table. The food was well below par, the nachos can simply be described as lazy and the 'crispy' beef was just inedible! This was dealt with well by the lady with the mask around her neck but I certainly would not be returning. We even had to come up to the bar to pay or we would have been waiting all night!

  This is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in as a family. The staff genuinely couldn't do enough for us and made us feel so welcome. (Especially Bill... read more the chef)
Our room was of a good standard, it was clean and well kept with a modern bathroom.
The facilities in the room were also of a good standard.
We opted to include breakfast in our stay and this was also to a good standard with a good selection of food and drinks to choose from and pleased everyone.

  On arrival the deco is lovely creating a nice atmosphere. The cake cabinet looks nice. Friendly staff at the bar. Sat down and selected food then you go to the... read more bar to order and pay.

Ordered dirty fries with cheese, bacon and jalapeños (£4). The cheese wasn’t melted, there was one small slice of bacon and no jalapeños on.

The cheesy garlic bread (£5) was lovely.

Friend ordered a burger which was ‘ok’. This was around £10.

Wide selection of drinks. There are special offer meals for set days of the week e.g. on a Tuesday curry and a pint £9.

Parking available. Some of the prices are reasonable and some a little too much for what you get.

Friendly staff.

  Very disappointed. Had difficulty ordering scrambled eggs on toast. Had to remind them to supply meal. Eggs were cooled in the kitchen but had to grill our own bread. We... read more were told to use a napkin as they do not supply plate????? The eggs were inedible (not sure the staff would recognise the word). What a poor start to the day. Cooked breakfast was available on a COLD plate but the food was barely warm. Not recommended nor will we return. Awful! !!!!!!

  Ok. It’s not The Ritz! But what you get with The Portland is superb service, good food and a great atmosphere. We have just had my son and new daughter... read more in laws wedding reception here. We had a set meal for the wedding breakfast in the afternoon, for which we had thirty eight guests, and a buffet for our evening guests. The food was of a good quality and when questioned, everyone both in the afternoon and the evening could not fault it. We had guests who stayed in the hotel overnight, and everyone agreed that the rooms were spotless, and the morning breakfast was superb.

  Recently had lunch here with family. There is a good variety on the menu to choose from. Portion sizes very generous. Found the food very tasty. Couldnt fault it. Service... read more from staff very good and were very pleasant and friendly. The portland is very nicely done out and is very relaxing. Will definately be returning
