Hadria - Lichfield

Was staying in the hotel, so went here for dinner. As it was a Sunday, they weren’t offering their full menu so was disappointed to see only a few choices. However, we both chose the Sunday roast and it was of a very high quality. Good amount of meat, veg and potatoes. A fun extra was it was brought to us by a man wearing white gloves!! The staff didn’t seem that interested in working. One just stood at the bar chatting and having a drink! But it was still fast service and didn’t really effect us so wasn’t a big issue. Overall, the Hadrian’s FOOD exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend the Sunday roast. Not sure about the rest of it though.

Stayed with a friend who I was walking Hadrians Wall with. Great place nice staff lovely evening meal, good local beer and wonderful breakfast. Importantly, an effective, polite, well considered and low key approach to Covid so refreshing after some really weirdly experiences elsewhere on the walk!

Popped in for lunch with the grandkids as they are dog friendly. Kids had sausage and mash, one wouldn’t eat his sausage as it was burnt it had split its skin and the end was crunchy and over cooked, I didn’t mention it as it’s hard enough keeping them quite my wife and I shared the baked Camembert, nice but only two very small pieces of bread. My main issue is the price of drinks, £8.50 for a large glass of house Pinot Grigio this is central London wine bar price, We paid £5.35 in another gastro pub in the area today. I had a elderflower drink, £3 I paid £2.15 for exactly the same brand drink today, almost 40% more. I appreciate there is the Hjem fine dining on the premises but we were in a simple bar area.

We stayed for a night as a family, as we were walking Hadrian’s Wall. They had only just opened post Covid and couldn’t have been friendlier. They had just the right amount of virus precautions in place- no masks (thank goodness) but sensible hand sanitiser and a good system of serving and clearing tables.

We stayed for one night at Hadrian Hotel with our pug, on our way up to Scotland. Our room was basic but clean with a good shower. The food was very tasty and good value for money it was Sunday so the menu was limited to a roast but that was fine. Breakfast was good also and the staff were friendly and accommodating and our dog felt very welcome. Overall, a good stay.
