Review of Bridge Park Hotel 2*

Went in for some food today in the bar/restaurant. Huge free car par for patrons. Slightly shabby interior and low prices made us suspect — but the food was amazing and the staff were friendly. We started with a sharing platter with tempura vegetables, onion bhajis, vegetable samosas, wedges and onion rings which was a bargain at £6. The vegetables had all been freshly battered and the wedges were from fresh potatoes. For mains, we had a cottage pie with chips and salad — again this had been "prepared by hand" in some way and was only £6 with a small glass of wine. Rather bizarrely the cottage pie was served upside down, with the potato on the bottom, but it was very nice. We also had a sweet potato and chick pea curry, served with plain rice, naan and a poppadom and a chicken korma (served with same) which were only £8 each. The vegetable fajita (£5) was delicious, fresh veg in a sauce on a hot plate, soft warm wraps in a tortilla plate and all the usual sour cream etc. There was also staples like fish and chips (I imagine the fish would be freshly battered and fried, not oven bake stuff), casserole, chicken pie, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. A HUGE range of vegetarian stuff with chicken style curry, lamb style curry, fish style burgers, vegetable curry, vegetable fajitas. The bar/restaurant area is large and the tables were set a good distance apart with plenty of space for a buggy/wheelchair. Tables are a good size with plenty of space to eat. We will be visiting again and would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone else looking for somewhere to eat in the area.
