Reviews The Hawthorn

Organise an overdraft before visiting. Very tasty food, but an evening meal for five person's cost me a day and a halfs pay - and I'm quite highly paid. Driving past and the Hawthorns looks very underwhelming and a bit grubby. The inside is quite cozy, with a smaller seating area by the bar and a larger area for the restaurant. There's also an outside terrace, which must be lovely on a warm, summer night. The staff are very helpful and friendly and put my younger son at ease. They were also very helpful bin describe my certain dishes, such as the Manx Queenies, which were undoubtedly superb, but nevertheless pricey at a little under £10 for a small dish with a single slice of French bread. The menu has a good selection of international and British dishes, all generously portioned, but all a bit pricey. Thai green curry, fish and chips, crispy shredded please pork and rib eye steak, all nicely cooked, presented well and without undue delay. The rib eye was excellent. All in all an enjoyable meal, but the price!

After abandoning a restaurant where service was non-existent and failing twice to find another place open for lunch - in July!!? - The Hawthorn was a breath of fresh air with a welcoming smile, good service, a good selection of food and our Pork Escalopes were good. Recommended

Family get together for lunch 9 of us the service was quick and the food was lovely we were not rushed and the bill was very reasonable.

Good quality food and an excellent place to watch the TT from

Nice food and service, they serve Staropramen on draught which is a bonus, the old part can get quite noisey when busy but that didn't bother me.
