Breakfast

Guests have mixed reviews regarding the breakfast at The Parsonage Hotel & Spa. Some found it excellent, delicious, sumptuous and fantastic while others found it poor and disappointing. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choices with fresh and presentable products, but some items were overcooked. Guests could help themselves to whatever they wanted and the labeled food was of good quality. The Fat Abbot also served good food and an excellent fish pie. However, some guests found the breakfast experience chaotic with long waits to be seated and served. The buffet area was too small and run short of bacon and sausages, which created a queue.

Overall, guests had a pleasant experience with a very good breakfast selection with something for everyone.

Dinner

Guest reviews of the dinner options at The Parsonage Hotel & Spa are mixed. While some guests enjoyed good food and a lovely ambiance at the on-site pub, The Fat Abbot, others were disappointed with limited and uninspired menu options, below average food quality and cold or overcooked dishes. Some guests also had to rely on the neighboring pub for evening meals, as the hotel provided no priority booking and availability was limited. However, those who enjoyed meals at The Fat Abbot praised the quality and variety of the menu and found the £30 dinner allowance provided by the hotel sufficient for a three course meal. Overall, guests had a mixed experience with the dinner options at the hotel, but those who enjoyed their meals found them to be of good quality.
