We visited The Laurels twice during our stay. Food is fairly good but not cheap. Service however is very poor. On our first visit the waitress forgot to put on... read more my wives order and was only when clearing me and my kids plates see realized this. We decided to book for another night as food is good. On our arrival she hadn’t placed our booking and the other waitress was quite rude when we wouldn’t except high stool table as our kids are quite young. Again the food was good but again our orders where mixed up. On both occasions with 2 different waitresses I felt they were more interested in a local bunch sitting around at a high table. Wouldn’t go back again due to poor service and really can see the “we don’t care attitude “ as there’ll be more new tourists next week.
