Royal Oak Country Inn and Restaurant — Restaurant in England

I booked a table for lunch at the Royal Oak Much Marcle on Sunday 10 October. I ordered the roast beef, my friend the vegetarian. The beef was overcooked and so tough I could barely cut it. The waitress told me it had ben sliced earlier that morning. The roast potatoes were also overcooked in oil - there was barely any potato left inside and also hard to cut, the parsnip destroyed by over cooking.
