   Staying on site in the future Inn hotel, I thought I give the restaurant another go after a poor experience a few years ago. Mistake. It was even worse than last time. Should have guessed from the few people eating there, and even more scarce staff. The staff there were, seemed to spend most time mucking about in the kitchen judging by the noise. Not wanting the usual burger and chips, I decided to try the monkfish curry, after all this place claims (laughably) to be the taste of the West Country. It was dreadful, rice dumped, watery sauce, tasteless fish. No poppadoms , ‘ We’ve run out’. I think the waitress knew it was bad, she saw the look on my face and quickly offered an alternative. Service was very slow, nearly 50 minutes for the curry. Sadly Fishbone has not changed at all from my last poor experience.

   This place is great. Quiet at lunchtime - which is very enjoyable. The food is lovely and the staff are friendly. They serve a yummy cream tea too. The staff made it extra special by decorating the table for both mine and my daughters birthdays. Will be continuing to revisit.

   Outwardly the restaurant was inviting and seemed clean. Staff very active and keen to help. The food seemed quite pricey.. not cheap but borderline "how much!?" But you assume the food must be good or made fresh etc so the price will be justified. It took over 25 minutes for the food to arrive, when it did.. It was quite anti climactic. The £4.00 cheesy garlic bread was just 3 slices that looked like they came from aldi. The chunky chips tasted frozen and dry. As we were sat in the restaurant for about 40 minutes total i had a chance to look at things with more than a passing glance. The carpet seriously needs a deep clean or replaced and the cupboards/units look very worn down. But thats just being very nit picky. Time occurs and things wear down. The overall feel of the restaurant was warm and inviting. It got very full just as we were leaving. Staff seemed to cope well with the sudden shift from quiet to chaos! I wasn't massively impressed with the food but we are thinking of ordering desert as room service (this comes from the restaurant) - perhaps there will be some redemption!? We shall see!

   We went for afternoon tea following the funeral of a good friend. It was my first visit The waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was well presented and one of the best afternoon teas if not the best I've ever had. Because of this visit, I have booked for a celebration later this month and am looking forward to returning to Fishbone.

   Oh dear, they had a disaster!! I rearly give one star but our evening was comical. We really thought we were being filmed for an Ant & Dec comedy type show!! A really pleasant venue and smartly dress staff, but thats it. The staff were clearly untrained the food quality was tasteless and dry. We were asked to confirm our drinks order 6 times and when it eventually turned up, it was incorrect!! Following the first two courses, we didnt risk a dessert. Staff were apologetic and did offer a discount and the person in charge took our polite, constructive criticism well. Still gonna strike off this place for a return visit.
