Church View Inn — Restaurant in England

I’ve never had a problem with the food at the church view however I won’t be returning for a while. Ordered two roast dinners at the bar and asked for the gravy to be in a jug at the side to which we were told was not a problem. Also requested to add an egg onto one of the burgers we ordered as an optional extra.

When the food arrived the burger looked like it had been thrown together and dumped on the plate - also no egg. The two roast dinners came out swimming in gravy. When we queried this with the waitress the reply was short and bland, ‘they always come with gravy poured on’, I guess that wouldn’t matter if you want to drink your meal. The fried egg was an item that the waitress called ‘an orphan order just appeared on its own’ to which it then made a lonesome appearance looking rather sad on a saucer doused in grease. Overall food was pretty poor and the attitude towards our queries was dreadful. There was no offer of to change the dinner and to be quite frank we were just happy to leave. We usually have nice meals at the church view and call in for a drink but after tonight we won’t be returning for a little while. Overall pretty disappointed and hopefully this...

Very busy poorly staffed pub. We booked a table and could not find it( names on wipe cards for you to find yourself). We asked a member of staff who told us where our table was. It was occupied by drinkers and we had to explain we had pre booked it. Ordered food eventually (2 staff behind bar), after 55 minutes waiting, (we were advised there would be a wait for food to arrive) We were presented with our three meals, two steaks and lasagne. The steaks were on uninviting green plates, with 10 chips and three onion rings. No garnish . My steak was mostly gristle . The lasagne came with "garlic" bread, I use the word lightly and it was left on the plate. A staff member came to take the plates as we were leaving and asked if everything was ok. I explained we were disappointed and why. She asked me what I wanted her to do and not what she could do to make amends. We had eaten the meals as we were hungry before and after eating and just wanted to leave. It was my first time here and will be my last as my first impression of this place...

We had booked a table and arrived on time, on a Tuesday evening. It wasn't particularly busy. After we had placed our order, we were told that there was a "slight delay" of 40 minutes for food. At this point, we didn't mind waiting. Just over an hour later, there was no sign of our food. We eventually asked a passing waitress to check what was going on and five minutes later, she served us. It was definitely not worth the wait. The risotto had a skin on it, suggesting that it had been sitting for a while. Even the (frozen) chips were horrible. (Change the cooking oil!) My son wanted dessert and, at this point, it was quite quiet so we decide to order. Again, we were told that there was a short wait, this time of about 10 minutes, for desserts. 25 minutes later, we went to find out if the waiter had got lost between the kitchen and our table. It eventually arrived and was ok. Nothing special. If you want below average standard food, served over a period of 2 and a half hours, then this is the pub for you! I won't...
