Elm Tree Inn — Restaurant in England

Would be zero if that was an option. Visited this “restaurant” on 12th June to be subjected to the worst meal imaginable.

My husband ordered a salad - I use that term lightly perhaps a lettuce bowl and plastic ham would a better description

I ordered a bowl of salmonella- otherwise described as under cooked soggy battered fish found on the menu under fish and chips.

We were not table checked until it came to receiving the bill. When asked if everything was ok, we mentioned the salad was limited and the fish was under cooked and soggy. The waitress said she would speak to the kitchen and never returned. We paid the bill and then left.

In the car park the same waitress flippantly remarked “thanks do call again” I replied with we won’t be bothering.

Noted the polite notice on the door too.

Samira opted for the veg lasagna and I ordered the steak pie. DELICIOUS! We...

Nice example of a traditional country pub. Popped in after a mid week walk round the reservoir hoping to get lunch. Unfortunately they had stopped serving so settled for a quick pint before afternoon closing at 3pm, just like the old days. I'm normally a dark ale drinker but given a choice of Hetton Pale, and Taylor's Golden Best or Knowle Spring I chose the latter. I must say it was exceptional, with that unique flavour that all Taylor's ales had before Landlord became the mass produced beer found all over the country that it has become. I look forward to returning to...
