Wocca Grill - Woking

I tried this restaurant with a Groupon deal for steak and a bottle of wine for £25 per person. I may be a cheapskate, but it could have been a costly error otherwise! The steak was outstanding and the wine was decent. I will definitely be trying their a la carte menu next time. It is definitely worth a visit.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, we opted to have a cold drink at the bar area. Unfortunately, the beers were not as chilled as we had hoped, more like room temperature. Despite this, we enjoyed a delicious 2-course meal at the restaurant. My partner's scallops and fillet steak were excellent. However, my sirloin was overcooked and dry, even though I had requested it to be medium rare. The blue cheese sauce served with it was clumpy and lacked flavor. To make matters worse, it took 40 minutes for the bill to arrive. Overall, I would rate the food experience as poor this time. Perhaps I will try the fillet next time.

I'm not convinced that changing a name is always for the better. The hotel, formerly known as Holiday Inn, has now become Double Tree by Hilton. The restaurant, previously called Hugos, is now known as Wocca. Both names don't exactly inspire me. We visited when it was Hugos, courtesy of a Groupon deal. The deal represented excellent value both times, but the experience depends on the staff and ambience. The restaurant seemed unchanged after the name change, and I believe the staff are the same. We dined early on a Saturday and the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, but it got busy as we left. The fish and chips were excellent, with thin and crispy batter and plenty of fish. My wife had a starter and dessert, while I had a starter and main. We enjoyed our meals, including the house red wine and the attentive service provided by Simona. There was limited on-site car parking, but we found free parking on the road behind the hotel after 6pm. We will definitely return for another Groupon visit in the future.

We were served by Indian man Manoj who organised fast service for the kids even though adults waited. He was extra night and understood our need as a family. Food was average
