Food is brilliant, shame the attitude of all 3 waitresses had to ruin our experience, seemed to be girls who couldnt care less and that massively impacts the service. A family member had a previous experience in October and too had been put off.
Also as far as I’m aware, unsuitable changing facilities in the toilets. A dirty mat was provided on the sink basin. And toilets themselves could have done with a clean
We came for an evening meal and had already booked. Myself and partner ordered our drinks at the bar before we sat down however the rest of the table had to ask for drinks as was not offered.
When their drinks arrived they were put down with a flair of attitude from the waitress, and off she went. We ordered our food and once again cutlery was placed at the opposite ends of the table for ourselves to pass amongst us instead of placing in front of us. (Steak knives arrived separately when the plates were served) There was only four of us, it could have been two seconds out of their day/ My partner had an empty cup and we had to prompt the waitress to get another drink. These are just things that should be part of the restaurant experience, McDonalds I would understand however.
Starters arrived and they were lovely, honestly could not fault the chefs for both courses.
A member of our table had asked for a side of chips when mains had arrived. Understandably we should have ordered that earlier however none of us were prepared for the chips to arrive after we had eaten our meals (around 10-15 minutes). Half our table had been cleared of plates at this point and we had known it had been forgotten about. Received a very unapologetic apology from the waitress
Unfortunately I recommended this place to the rest of the party, as a few years ago it was all round top notch. Maybe it needs to be assessed why they were so unwelcoming as I know we minded...
Read moreRelatives booked us a table for a family gathering on 19/11/22 at 1pm. I didn't know what to expect as couldn't find a menu online prior to meeting up.
Menu was just what I wanted - classic pub food, with a few modern dishes. I went for a 'huge' gammon... well worth the £13.95. There was a 'normal' sized gammon too, but that's not my style.
Anyway, it was perfectly cooked. Couldn't fault it. Genuinely big, proper thick gammon, must have been an inch thick. Not like a chain pub where you get a bunch of weird thin little 4oz gammons or whatever. Nice homemade chips and a decent homemade coleslaw too.
Rest of the table looked nice too, few relatives went for the pie of the day which turned out to be steak and Guinness, and I must say looked rather good.
I can't comment on beers or anything as I had a 30 min drive there and back so I had Coke, can't really review that - I mean it was real Coke in a glass bottle, tasted like Coke should.
I had a sticky toffee pudding for afters - and it was also rather good. Decent portion of pudding. Couldn't fault that either. Can't remember if it was £4.95 or £5.95. Either way it was a fair price for a decent bowlful of warming sticky toffee.
Staff attentive, food was very nice and also I felt very reasonably priced for the quality and portion size.
Other patrons were friendly, seemed like a nice community. All things considered it was a very nice meal, and very good value for money given the portions and quality. Even moreso specially in the current climate.
It's a bit of a trek from Spalding but I'll definitely consider it for the next time I...
Read moreJust had a meal tonight with my family. We ordered two sirloin and two T-bone. It was the first time we had eaten as a family for months so we were all looking forward to it. Wednesday is Steak Night and so usually busy. After approximately 30 minutes we received only the two T-bone steaks, apparently our sirloin order had been given to another table and hence we would have to wait for the remaining meals to come later.
The T-bones were both luke warm but we decided to progress. My steak was full of fat and gristle, approx 35-40% of it totally inedible and very difficult to cut even with a steak knife. I did explain that it was not very edible but only received a withering comment. I soldiered on it but spoilt the evening for me. My son's steak was better quality but cold.
A bit later the staff member returned to say our two rump steaks were on the grill and we had to remind her that we had ordered sirloin steaks. They arrived in due course both better quality and hot although one was rare but my son decided to press on given we had waited so long. Eventually their pepper sauces turned up after chasing for them..
I was not expecting some a gourmet meal but a good honest steak Having been in previous weeks we have tolerated slow service because the food was good but tonight has left me questioning a return visit. If I do I will not order the t-bone again and I can see others have faired poorly as well with this particular dish.
Finally on paying the bill no offer was made for any reduction. Very disappointing to...
