My wife took an impromptu wander down to the Stanwick Hotel for Wacky Wednesday and had a lovely evening. There was a great atmosphere in the bar area, enhanced by a good number of people dining in the restaurant. The legendary Phil provided his cordial service behind the bar, and the restaurant staff were excellent, notably Anna who looked after us very well once we were seated at a table. Whilst we were not intending to dine, Anna was happy to let us have a look at the current dinner menu which is more extensive than we remembered from our last visit, and at very reasonable prices. We mentioned to Anna that we had seen reference online to Tapas Thursday and asked her what that entailed. Anna let us know that there is currently a Tapas special comprising a sharing platter of cold meats, stuffed tomatoes, olives, salad and bread with balsamic and oil at £12. Having not planned to eat, we decided to order this and were not disappointed – it was delicious, particularly the tomatoes and olives which were outstanding. This led us to having a couple more glasses of wine than we originally expected, but at £4 a glass it was well worth it! The Wacky Wednesday offer applied to the house wine only, but this was a very nice Merlot which went down very well with the Tapas platter. All in all, a very enjoyable evening with great value drinks and excellent food was topped off with friendly and attentive service from the lovely Anna and her colleagues.
