Hof's Bar and Dining

Came in here around 4.30pm on a Tuesday afternoon, fairly quiet, and received a warm welcome. A friendly staffed place, with a smart bar, lovely furnishings and nice atmosphere. Dog friendly too, and our pooch was provided with a dog bowl so he was refreshed as well as us! Would recommend this place to others.

I cannot overstate how EXQUISITE the food was, just what I was hoping for. 🤩 OK, now for the rest... Service was... weird. We arrived before our friends and went straight to the table. When our friends arrived about 10 minutes later, the Manager (who had just seated us), offered to show them to a different area in the bar for a drink first! Strange. I don't know if something weird had happened last night, but our table was one of only 3 covers, so it was hardly busy. We had to remind staff to bring us water, our friend's first cocktail was missing the prosecco shot, and our food took forever to come out. We were offered bread while we waited, we said no thanks, but bread arrived a while later anyway, I think because they knew our starters were delayed. I would've preferred a quick "we're having some problems" explanation. I felt sorry for the young waiter, he was keen, but it kind of felt like he'd been given a notepad and told to get on with it. He didn't know how to pronounce some of the key dishes, and he didn't know what was in them. We had starters, mains & puddings, and it was ALL AMAZING. We weren't in a rush so it worked out. We're definitely going back. I'm just hoping service will smoother. I didn't get photos of the starters because we devoured them as soon as they arrived!

Fabulous party here for a friend. Food was absolutely delicious and guests were still talking about the sea bream after the party! Hofs were so helpful and accommodating, giving first class service. The room at the back is light and full of character. Absolutely recommended for a party or any visit and they do their own wine.

Absolutely SHOCKING experience at this establishment this evening. Came for a quick dinner with my husband and son. The restaurant was empty. The Owner Chris Hof was drunk and confrontational. My husband went to the back of the restaurant and I had my son in my arms and I was verbally abused and insulted and made to feel extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable in front of his staff and then when my husband returned he continued to square up to me and verbally assault me. We decided then and there not to stay as it was clear that he was intoxicated. It is unfortunately a known fact that he treats his staff very poorly too which is why you will have the feeling while you are being served that they do not wish to ',be there' or to 'work diligently. ' We will not be returning. Absolutely appalling.

It's really lovely but be careful if you have allergies as they use the same serving utensils for shellfish and meat etc
