Tempus - Crewe

Restaurant closed; had to eat in the bar. Bar was Pandemonium due to a corporate event.

This restaurant was very nice and the food was very good. The service was a little slow to be honest, but I think maybe they were under personnel. However, the restaurant was not full. The empty glasses were never removed from our table, so we ended up with about 20 empty glasses on the table. There was also no gluten-free desert option that was very disappointing I indicated in advance that one of the guests had celiac, please put at least one gluten-free desert option on the menu deserts are quite easy to make gluten-free. Some other gluten-free versions of the appetizers and nets would also be good, e.g. appetizers that come with bread could be served with GF bread or crackers.

The staff was attentive and the food was excellent. Nice big table. Good selection of food. the black pudding scotch egg was so delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken. but too full for dessert.

We were informed there would be a additional 10 minute wait for food. However waited for 1 hour for main to arrive. Asked the waiter who never came back to us. Most staff appeared uninformed and uninterested. There was no atmosphere and tables were cleared for breakfast whilst we ate desert which felt unprofessional. The food was of a good standard but nothing special for the price

If you are looking for a pub food quality experience, then this is for you! On the hotel's reputation, reviews, and room price, we expected that the restaurant in the hotel would be first class like those found in convention centres. Our disappointment included the undercooked pasta, baked from frozen fries, and at breakfast hash brown triangles (from frozen). The house salad was chopped romaine, tomato, cucumber in a small bowl as one would make at home. Service was excellent, a young staff working hard to do their best. Dining room appears to double as a banquet hall, a large open space without decoration, basic square tables and quality leather chairs. No one expects Michelin stars, but there could be proper chips and tasty mains.
