The Commodore Inn

We visited The Commodore for an evening meal because we'd been before and it had been superb. We were cycletouring and arrived into Grange starving after a long day on the bikes looking forwards to what should have been (based on our last visit) a good meal. It was SO disappointing. Two of us chose the "hot pot" off the specials board - a simple enough meal to make! However, what we received was certainly not hot pot. Lumps of tough, grey, diced meat swimming in brown water with a few tinned peas with it. No, potatos, no carrots nor anything else. It could be served with fries..but hotpot is sliced potatoes on top...why would I want fries with it? It was one of the most unappetising meals we've ever been unfortunate enough to have received. I spoke to the barman who sent the chef out to speak to us because I couldn't eat it...it looked and tasted awful. The chef agreed it wasn't the best and offered to replace our meals. My husband chose the pasta marscapone which came with a Lidl (?) garlic bread. It wasn't great, but edible. I just had some fries...which were very oily and overcooked. I left 3/4 of them. The other person in our party had fish and chips which was very greasy/oily and over cooked. She ate it because she was starving but she has suffered today. I don't know what has happened to this place. We won't be returning. Incidentally, the chef, when he came to collect our plates...he had been vaping at the bar. As he leant over to take the plates he was still exhaling his vape...grim! But at least he didn't charge us for the "hotpot". Dreadful experience.

Beautiful spot to explore Grange Over Sands. The room was small and.cozy. Beds were pretty old and not comfortable.

Noisy as adjacent to busy railway line. Beds were extremely uncomfortable as were pillows. One bed was a camp bed and the mattress was totally inadequate for the bed. Food was decent enough. Staff were ok. rigid check in time of not before 4pm. Car parking was in a pay and display carpark which worked out expensive.
