Not sure if this has changed hands or what but last year we came quite a few times and the fish and chips was good. Popped in for a light lunch with the motorbike group but the most underwhelming sandwich ever. Dry cheap bread and the thinnest slice of cheese imaginable. For £7 for a bit of bread and a tiny bit of cheese. A Tesco meal deal would have been far far better. You really need to try harder. We won't be back sadly as the food is very sub par. Staff were good and bubbly as ever but that sandwich was embarrassing two vending machine drinks and two woeful sandwichs for £23 is not on. We regularly go to the blue egg in GT bardfield and for very little cost more it's a world away and que out the door. Seeing as the place denies my review is from them and can't even be honest I will upload a copy of the debit taken from my bank. Why it's called shotley marina I don't know? Maybe something else afoot. I can assure you can see the tables under the plates are the same tables in other photos of the same place these are the tables right outside the door. You don't sell sliced cheese? What is those two thin bits of white substance on the bread attempt then? It was purchased as brie so if it is not then that's...
Read moreWe visited today for lunch and had the worst experience ever in a restaurant. We ordered a sharing loaded chips which was on the menu as loaded chunky chips with sausage bacon and cheese. At £14.50 we expected a decent sized plate with probably a x2 sausages and x2 bacon chopped up with loads of melted cheese. What we received was a plate of chips with about 1/2 sausage finely chopped , a few tiny bits of bacon and a thin layer of cheese. It was about enough for 1 person and worth about £6. Without touching it I took back to bar and the manager came out who was the rudest and most confrontational person with absolutely no people skills. Would not recognise my complaint, said I’ve got what I ordered didn’t want to do anything to resolve the issue. Didn’t offer to add any extra food, didn’t apologise, didn’t offer a refund or an alternative. I was so angry I told him to keep his money and keep his food. Never been so angry. If you’re thinking of going...
Read morePre-booked a table for four at 13.15 on sunday 16th April.When we arrived there was a queue about 15 deep.There was one person behind the bar serving.I went to the other end of bar to register our arrival.There was no acknowledgement from the barman.Gave it a few minutes and then looked for another member of staff.Found someone a young fellow,explained that we had a table booked,he took me over to the bar and checked for our booking.He called over the barman who told us that they had run out of certain meals and no after meal sweets.I asked if there was table service the barman said no we have to join the queue like everybody else which by this time it had stretched to outside the door.Very poor service in fact it was quite abysmal,rude barman.didnt expect the service to be very naff.Will advise friends not to bother about this place and will never come here again.We went to the Bristol Arms,they where very...
