Robin Hood Hotel - Norwood

Very good experience every visit to the Robin Hood hotel...A+...Meals and service is always excellent every time. easy to find parking ...good value for money ...

Great steak, nice ambience. We dropped in here on a Monday night after a long day on the road, wanting something quick and sustaining. The menu has all the standard pub fare but don’t be fooled, this place is much nicer than a standard pub. I had the scotch fillet, which was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. They have a good wine list and there’s the option of buying a glass or half bottle of all sorts of wines that normally only come in full bottles. This is great for two people who love decent wine and normally have to choose between a limited range by the glass, or go the full bottle which is sometimes more than you really need for a pub meal. Nice quiet atmosphere in the large dining room, thanks to the carpet which is so rare nowadays. A good choice if you’re looking for something quicker than fine dining but more elegant than a regular pub.

On the recommendation of a colleague Michele and myself had lunch at The Robin Hood today. He raved about the Wagu steak, turns out it was a special for last Thursday and not available, disappointing but I move on. <br/ <br/ The Robin Hood has some delightfull dining areas, a shame that today which was a beautiful Spring day there were workmen making the outside area unpleasant (noise and walking through the dining area with building products). We decided on the main dining room which was nicely furnished. <br/ <br/ Michele ordered a chicken schnitzel with gravy on the side which was served with gravy over the schnitzel, I know this is a first world issue but it is vey annoying. The second attempt was better and Michele said it was good. I had the scotch fillet which was well cooked, tasty and very tender. Not sure why it was sliced into a few thick slices but it was. <br/ <br/ In summary, food was good but there were issues, decor nice and staff ok but the issues of the day really affected the experience.

Lovely ambiance and hospitality. I loved how the waiter brought the chalkboard with the specials written on it right to the table. <br/ <br/ Though it was a busy night when we went (Friday), dishes were served quickly. The blue swimmer crab angel hair was delicious and one of the best crab dishes I have had. If you like chocolate, chocolate bomb would be the perfect dessert. The lemon tart was nice but I would prefer it to be slightly more sour. A deconstructed Irish coffee sounds interesting and it does live up to its name. <br/ <br/ Would definitely visit again!

Victory!. Thankyou, Good relaxed atmosphere, service and food.The perfect place to spend a long Friday lunch in the sunshine with a couple o ' ciders (A good selection). The servings are rather 'Hulky ' which is rare these days. A good balance of quality and value.Good work, Cheers!
