  “Food was inedible at best. Staff disinterested, over stretched and their faces show it. Didn't make the mistake of eating again.”

  “Awful. would NOT recommend. ordered 4x loaded fries, chicken wings and chicken bites. All of these foods are deep fried so expected these to come out 20-30 minutes max. Ordered at 8pm and it arrived at 8.50pm (after asking where our food was.) All the food was cold so was clearly just sat there for ages. Then when our food was brought out, our chicken bites were missing. When they were brought out (obviously after asking- again) they were cold (not a shock at all.) Also would like to clarify that the restaurant wasnt even busy so no need for cold deep fried food to take almost an hour. Genuinley would not recommend anyone to eat here, going anywhere else would be an amazing experience compared to this.”

  “Waiting over an hour. No sign of breakfast appearing any time soon and half the tables are empty and we are paying top market rates for food here as it’s a monopoly on the campsite.”

  “Was unsure about eating here as one of us had a bad experience at another mash and barrel at a different Haven. And of course all the bad reviews. We must have struck lucky. I need to point out though we were visiting at a quiet time of year. Very friendly young bar staff who pointed out the drinks offer we ended up choosing. Food arrived in a very reasonable time with a smile. We were checked on to ensure we were happy with our meals. My Ribs and Chicken dish was lovely. The Chicken was moist and the meat just fell off the rib bones and was very tasty. The Chilli Beef maybe presented a little less appetising but was nice. It's a Haven so I guess the prices were as expected and of course we guessed a microwave would feature in the cooking, lots of places use this method. Overall though it was a nice meal and saved us cooking after a long drive.”

  “The staff work hard and are really friendly but it kind of feels like a office canteen or a school lunch room. Can't explain why other than maybe the harsh lighting and the colour scheme. Outside area is lovely though so that's where I spent most of my time. Every table was an inch thick with stickiness but im British and the sun was out so it didn't phase me much at that stage. Definitely need a good scrub though! The food was lush which was a nice surprise after reading some reviews..they put the wait times on the bar and update it regularly which is a nice touch. Overall positive experience both of my visits the past couple days. Thanks to the team who work really hard.”

  “We had a really nice meal in here. Service was crazy fast, we got starters within 5 mins and then mains 5 mins after we’d finished the starters. Really nice team in there too. Food was nice and well cooked. Kids meal only came with 4 nuggets which wasn’t enough so bit disappointed with that but everything else was good. They did have some colouring sheets and a box of pencils and crayons but every single pencil was broken and the crayons were mostly white and all broken too. The staff didn’t have a sharpener”

  “Ordered at 6.30.. finally ate at 8.20. Had 2 kids under 2.5 yrs with us, it was a nightmare. Everything was awful, genuinely the worst meal I’ve ever had. Tables were sticky, we had to clean them ourselves before we sat down. We ordered on the app and no one told us how long the wait would be. After 45 mins we enquired and were told it could be another 40 mins… it was another hour. When the food arrived it was just warm not hot, soggy chips, the corn on the cob wasn’t whole, it was a quarter of a cob and burnt. My son’s pizza was meant to be ham, cheese and tomato, it was mainly just tomato, small bit of cheese and the ham was thrown on top, not actually part of then pizza. One of the two lagers they had on tap ran out. You’d think Rockley Park would be prepared for it being bank holiday Monday + half term but they weren’t at all. Just happy to take everyone’s money on the app and hope for the best. I felt sorry for the staff waiting on the tables who were very young and left to deal with a lot of very unhappy families.”

  “I have never been so dissapointed at a meal in my life, me and my mum waited for an hour just for food and what was served was not up to standard. The staff were miserable and werent sure of anything. The mash and barrel is much better for going for drinks not for food but even then they had no ice. So don't waste your money coming here for food.”
