Today, Sunday 9 June 2024, for the second time in seven days my wife and I went here for lunch. Friday lunch was our first visit in 2 years because of our experience then. This time my stepson and his daughter came with because he wanted to go and we wanted to give it another try. What a let down for us. My wife and I both had a roast pork lunch, it is the worst roast lunch I have ever had. It was over done, roasties were soaked in fat having a useless interior, only what appeared to be two skinny whole carrots roasted to a black almost shoelace size, the stuffing portion was a burnt mess. the meat was tough and stringy, the pigs in blankets was a normal pork( I think) sausage wrapped in bacon, all over done. This should be a chipolata sausage wrapped in bacon. I ate most of it and did not complain because I did not want put a cloud over the occasion for my stepson, because it was a pre father's day treat for me, my wife felt the same. Somebody may well say why not complain anyway at the time, I have just said why, and anyway we always do not like to complain unless it is absolutely needed, but prefer to vote with our feet. Usually we do not resort to reviews either, if it has to be negative. We generally feel that ring o bells and other providing the same poor quality food take no notice anyway, especially when ther are enough other custom. All to often these days gastro pubs take advantage of their historical situation and/or apparent better premises and apply an over inflated premium to their pricing structure. Lately we have noticed quite a high increase in prices along with a reduction in portion sizes and a reduction in quality of what is served. This is a complete no no for us and along with this true and negative story we will again vote with our feet and will not be back. Ther truly are places we visit that are feeling the effects societies financial pressures, but do not take their customers for fools, by maintaining their good quality, as fair pricing as possible and leaving us and I have no doubt others a desire to return as soon as possible, being happy with everything concerning the visit.
