Washington Central Hotel and Sleepwell Inn

We had evening meal in the Bistro where we found the staff as always friendly and helpful. They couldn’t do enough for us. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed it very much. We are regular visitors and enjoy the place. It was quite busy but there was no waiting for service.

My family and I were there for their 'Sunday Carvery'. On entering the hotel we were told that the meal was being served in their function room on the second floor so we started to make our way up the staircase and we couldn't help noticing how dirty the stair carpet was, I don't think it had been cleaned for a long time. Once we were seated we were told to make our way to the carvery which was set out in the middle of the function room. The dinner plates were piled up at the end of the table and were cold which wasn't great. The person carving the meat was using a latex type glove on his left hand which came into contact with all of the meats that he was serving as he was having to hold the joints whilst he carved them, it would have been more hygienic if he had used a proper carving knife & fork. Then when it came to adding the vegetables the young girl just pilled everything on top of the meat as the plates were far too small. The food itself was very tasty along with the dessert that followed. Not sure if we would rush back for another carvery meal in the future, but we would possibly look to dine in their restaurant the next time we are in Workington.

We were there for a Wedding and were looked after extremely well. Fern was an absolute star all day. She has such a lovely personality and manner. Nothing was a problem to her and she worked hard to ensure that our event went. Fern is a credit to this hotel and deserves recognition. Later we were also looked after by Belle and Harry who were also very nice and helpful. Thank you.
