I have been going to horse and plough for many years. The last 6 months i have been at least once a month and each time the food has been consistently good and always cooked to a high standard. However, we went last night and as soon as our food arrived it looked different. My son who is a chef, has always said that the Sea bass is the best he's tasted and Ive always loved the Tandoori chicken-last night it was not as tasty as it normally is. My son said I bet there a new chef-and when I asked I was told, yes there was a new head chef.

I noted that others around us waited over 45 mins for their meals, and sometimes upto 10 minutes between the same tables order being brought out, totally unacceptable for a bog standard pub. It's a shame because it's a great location with multiple offices around and could potentially be a...
