Hey, so we are really late with our review! We came for Christmas dinner & we were left a more than a little disappointed... Firstly, we book in August. We got a phone call in September that we needed to pay the deposit, not an issue were busy this week we'll pop in next week and pay it... they demanded it was paid by Friday, or they would cancel our booking, so we went in that day to pay & they didn't even know how to take the payment. We had to pay via banks transfer. We asked when the balance was due and were told it was due a week before Christmas. We got another phone call in early November, this was a on the Tuesday demanding payment by Thursday or our booking would be cancelled... I was actually working away that week & had to send someone to pay. Honestly with their attitudes I don't know why didn't just cancel it but anyway we then get a phone call a few weeks later if we don't pay the balance by Friday our booking with be cancelled... we already paid in full! Thankfully, we still had the receipt & gave them the information, even with that it took 3 phones call for this to be sorted out. We got to Marr Lodge a little early on Christmas Day & they seated us immediately, no table service (which you don't normally get there but it was Christmas Day & for the price tag you'd expect) by the time we got drinks, our starters had been delivered. Then in contrast it took nearly an hour for the main course to arrive, we got enough frozen broccoli, cauliflower & brussel sprouts to feed 10 people & no carrots, When the table next to ours got their food we realised they just hadn't delivered us any carrots. The meat was poor quality, in fact the whole meal was. The pigs in blanket were burnt and there just wasn't anything special about it, even the crackers were lackluster. Where was some braised red cabbage, roast veg, white sauce, anything to make it special? We made the most of it & didn't complain as it was Christmas Day but we'd never return for a special event again after this experience.

Great Sunday lunch here small at 8.79 or medium for a pound more I believe. Great place with affordable food and good service. Gives Toby carvery a run for it's money.

Really nice. It's a while since we have been here it used to be a bit posh and felt uncomfortable but now it has nice food, nice staff and a great atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

My favourite place to have a carvery. Choice of meats that are cut nicely (other places are often tight and its wafer thin) Great selection of veg and super tasty gravy. Pleasant staff and nice surroundings.

Alright experience, expensive drinks, kids meals are really nice. Tables far too big for seating areas and chairs jammed into fire exit handles. Can't go round with some of the adult meals as well on offer

We went for a family meal, eight including a toddler. All had three courses from the christmas fayre menu. Food was excellent, large portions and very good value. Would recommend this menu. Nice, friendly and good service

When we arrived, the premises looked a bit shabby so I was dubious but we received a warm welcome and it was fairly busy- a good sign. There was a good choice of food on the menu( except for vegetarians) and the carvery was excellent. It was incredibly good value for money and in the end, we all enjoyed a delicious, home cooked lunch!

Went for a sunday carvery at 2pm. You get a max of 1.5hr for your table booking, and there was a que throughout for the carvery. Choice of 3 plate sizes available small 9.99 regular 11.99 or premium 12.99. We pre booked a table, knowing from past experience they are always really busy for sunday lunch. Lovely helpful staff on hand for anything you need. They are really assertive and all have a smile on their faces, which is always good to see. Choice of beef, pork, or gammon, or a selection of 2 different homemade pies if you prefer. We all had regular size carvery, which was a good plate full. The meat was delicious with a generous portion served, the roast potatoes and parsnips were not so good, tasted like ready made frozen ones, the parsnips were hard in the middle, and roast potatoes were tasteless. The vegetables were cooked nicely. Gravy was a little too watery. Overall though it's a nice warm and friendly atmosphere with good staff. Booking was for 4 adults, and the total bill came to just short of £60 for 4 regular carvery's, 1 pint of larger and 3 pints of diet coke.

Lovely meal at Marr Lodge today...the carvery is huge, and my husband said it was delightful. I had salmon and Diane sauce which was beautiful, one of my mates had the mixed grill. The meals from the main menu came quickly so we could all eat together. Great value for delicious food.
