Garden Kitchen — Restaurant in England

The experience wasn't great. The menu was difficult to navigate due to the fact when going up to order the drinks menu is not on the wall but instead on the side on three laminated pieces of card it was quite busy on this particular day.

We had somebody with us who was vegan and there was one vegan option on the menu which was a cake when this person asked if it was available as we could not see it on the front counter.

Only drawback: although the fish tasted fresh and delicious, there was a bit too much batter on it, I removed quite a few un-fishy chunks. But the batter quality was far better than any chip...

The fish and chips was not nice. The fish was dry and tasteless, the chips looked and tasted like heated up chips and the gardens peas were like bullets. Apple pie not available even though we prebookedas a Club. I had the cheesecake which was ok but nothing special. My fellow club members who had fish all thought the same as me except for one. It was mentioned to the staff (who were great) and we were told that the fish comes from 2 different suppliers and todays was a bit different looking but fresh. Well all I can say is, the cooking of it ruined it and the batter was...
