The Village Store

Rather disappointed, especially after reading the other good feedback

Firstly the atmosphere was rather non existent with only 2 other people in and was rather cold, needed to leave coat on.

Service was ok, but staff were absent from the restaurant and bar area for most the time, seemed like they only came out to bring food and seat new guests so we're not available.

I had the beef & ale pie , very disappointed, the contents was very much like a Heinze beef big soup !! Seriously the meat content was just little flakes , not chunks as would expect!!

The chips were very dry and crispy not fluffy potato !!

My mum in law had the fish n chips , same again with the dry chips, far too much batter compared to size of fish , and the peas were inedible from being dry , hard and flavourless.

We did raise the issues and was given a £2.99 reduction on the bill !! Not happy but not one for creating a scene - we just learn not to revisit or recommend.

Maybe we just picked a bad night !! I guess so judging from other reviews, although a lot are from some time ago.
