Horse & Jockey — Restaurant in England

We turned up for a meal,lunchtime,mid June,quit a few items missing off the menue,I had a steak,my mate had ham eggs and chips,I had a steak,and my wife had a vedgy cottage pie. We had some loaded Nachos to start with a vert tastey tomato salsa,but the avocado lacked flavour and seasoned,a little worcester sauce and salt and pepper would have brought this to life. My steak was fantastic soft succulent and one of the best I've ever had. My mates ham egg and chips had a bit of plastic in it,but it was a little basic, ham off the bone would have raised the level of the meal especially if the meat was hot. My wifes vegetarian cottage pie was cold bland and in need of some bandic seasonings,it a shame she always gets raw deal being a vegetarian. Wouldn't eat here again as the food wasn't tasty enough.

We were impressed to the point that we will return.

can i just say music and food was absolutely amazing! Cooked incredibly compliments to the cook!! However when i came with my husband i found the boss- heard her name as Alex? Was incredibly rude and condescending, she spoke rudely to us and also overheard her speaking disgustingly to her staff all working hard, i was absolutely taken back by how she spoke to them, bad language spoke to them like animals, she spoke to us in a similar manner making our experience very u comfortable , she was not friendly at all and would not come back!! New management...
