Townfields At Cresta Court - Altrincham

Booked a pre theatre meal at the last minute. Went at 5 30pm so the restaurant was quiet. Very good food and service.

Even though we had a reservation to dine in the restaurant, we were directed to the bar because a group tour had booked the restaurant. The menu was quite limited, resembling more of a snack bar than a full dining experience. The food was overpriced and overcooked. Overall, I was very disappointed.

Theatre menu wasn’t available even though advertised on line. Gammon steak cooked ok but only accompanied with French fries and not skin on ones as advertised. Only small basket of fries, pineapple ring tasted of fish and a very small amount of peas in a ramekin dish. No other veg. Husband’s chicken curry was dried up. To be fair 1 dessert wasn’t charged for to compensate disappointment with the curry. Waitress had not checked if food ok until main course had been eaten! Lots of advertised dishes were not available.

Table of 4 on a Friday night. Received a burger that wasn't cooked properly, sent it back only to receive another burger that was raw in the middle. It's completely unacceptable. Dilute juice tasted like water, we found out that they had run out... Every table sent food back, we were all a part of a tour party. For the size of the eating area they were not busy.. Told another group of 5 they couldn't eat there because there was 5 of them even tho the majority of the tables were empty.

The starter never arrived. While the steak dish was delightful, the cod loin was quite peculiar. The excessive amount of chili on the fish overwhelmed the flavor. Additionally, the dish was surrounded by new potatoes, which gave it a rather unrefined presentation, reminiscent of a child's creation.
