Gordons, At The Ship - Elmbridge

Breakfast only and once only. Buffet uncovered with unmasked diners breathing all over it. Waiter’s unmasked too. After that we went out for breakfast. We live in Scotland where masks are still mandatory. But when reception told us that they had a problem with getting staff as they kept getting pinged we thought the hotel should ask their staff to mask up.

Staff were pleasant (hence 2* but the food was very poor(-5* ! Burnt Pie, soggy chips, tasteless gravy. Food was shocking to be honest, was cheap because of the way out to help out but if it was full price and I wasn’t so hungry and tired it would have went back! Can I recommend to management that you stick to hotel accommodation at this time as this has let you down, there is no real need for plastic knives and forks. This is the only place in UK that I’ve had to use takeaway utensils and I’ve stayed in 10 hotels during August and eaten in some and also outside in restaurants!

2nd visit to restaurant, when visiting Weybridge this year. Only one other table occupied in restaurant, surprisingly quiet. Food was very good, tasty and good portions. Only complaint was chips were not cooked .... raw worst chips we have had in a long time. Would visit again when in Weybridge

Met friends who were staying there for a meal. Disappointed with the speed of service and the quality of the food. With so many other quality restaurants in Weybridge why bother eating at this dump? They obviously rely on weddings and conferences to keep financially buoyant.

Cheese board was very large. I might have that as a main course next time. Nice belly pork though. Not too expensive either.
