点评:Visited The Valley Hotel in Bishopston yesterday on Mother’s Day with my husband. We chose to eat here mainly for convenience as we were there that afternoon, but we were so glad we did.
The food was outstanding. There was a choice of roasts including lamb, beef, chicken and a vegetarian option. We both chose the Welsh lamb and it was absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked and beautifully pink, with just the right amount of fat for our taste. In our opinion the fat adds flavour and keeps the meat wonderfully moist.
The roast came with a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roast parsnip and a side of vegetables. Everything was piping hot and the portions were very generous. The gravy was rich and really brought everything together.
Despite it being Mother’s Day and clearly very busy, the service was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, even taking the time to ask our names and remembering them, which was a lovely personal touch.
There’s a really nice atmosphere in the dining area too – comfortable seating, plenty of space between tables and it didn’t feel crowded at all.
We were actually there because we were playing at the live music session in The Forge at The Valley, which hosts live music and open mic slots on Sunday afternoons. It’s a great little venue and adds to the relaxed, family- friendly atmosphere of the place.
We would definitely visit again – although next time we’ll make sure we’re not playing a gig afterwards, because after such a satisfying meal all I really wanted was a lie down! If you enjoy a proper Sunday roast with generous portions and friendly service, this is well worth a visit.
翻译:昨天母亲节,我和丈夫去了位于毕晓普斯顿的山谷酒店 (The Valley Hotel)。我们选择在这里用餐主要是因为那天下午正好在附近,比较方便,但我们非常庆幸做了这个决定。
食物非常棒。烤肉种类繁多,包括羊肉、牛肉、鸡肉和素食。我们都点了威尔士羊肉,味道真是绝了——火候掌握得恰到好处,肉质粉嫩,肥瘦比例也正合我们口味。我们认为,肥肉不仅增添了风味,还能让肉质保持鲜嫩多汁。
烤肉配有约克郡布丁、烤土豆、烤欧洲防风草和一份蔬菜。所有菜肴都热气腾腾,分量也很足。浓郁的肉汁更是锦上添花,完美地融合了所有食材。
尽管是母亲节,餐厅显然非常繁忙,但服务依然无可挑剔。员工们非常友好热情,甚至还特意询问了我们的名字并记住了,这真是令人倍感贴心。
餐厅的氛围也非常好——舒适的座椅,桌子之间的空间宽敞,一点也不觉得拥挤。我们去那儿其实是因为我们要在The Forge at The Valley的现场音乐表演环节演出。The Forge每周日下午都会举办现场音乐表演和开放麦克风环节。这是一个很棒的小场地,为这里增添了轻松惬意的家庭氛围。
我们肯定会再去——不过下次我们会确保之后不演出,因为吃完这么美味的一餐后,我只想好好躺下休息!如果你喜欢分量十足、服务周到的正宗周日烤肉,那这里绝对值得一去。
