The Four In Hand — Restaurant in England

So last night I came in with some of my friends and my sister who is disabled and can not walk so uses the aid of a small mobility scooter on entering through your disabled access door one of my friends was stopped and told that the lady on the scooter was not aloud in on her scooter as they are now banned apparently. My sister as been going this pub for quite some time now and never once had a problem or told that she is not aloud in on her scooter she was made to feel like an utter fool and the management was of no help the reply we got was she can come in for one night only. No on saying this there is no signs up saying that mobility scooters are not aloud in the pub and the pub itself caters for people with disabilities with having a disabled toilet. She was given no opportunities to be seated on a chair she was just refused entry till other members of the public started asking questions as to why she wasn’t aloud in on her scooter. This was discrimination on my sister by all members of the staff. My sister was made to feel vulnerable and upset by the situation. We personally think this really needs looking into and if that is your policy then you should have it in plain sight so others can see it and not be made to feel how my sister was...

I've eaten here a few times recently and have been pleased each time. Tonight I'd booked a table for a family meal. On arrival the table was clean and ready and had plenty of space - our party included our grandson in his pram and we appreciated the room allowed for us.

Service, both at the bar and from the waiting staff was great. Friendly and helpful. (My two year old wanted scrambled egg rather than the fried egg which was advertised with her meal - no problem).

The food wasn't too long in arriving, but long enough so that you knew it hadn't just been popped in the microwave. We had a variety of meals and all were very good. The only downside was some of the steak on my mixed grill was fatty. However, it had been cooked exactly as I had asked for; what I could eat tasted very nice, and to be honest, for the cost of the meal, I can't complain. Steak aside the rest of my meal was all really good especially the gammon and the sausage. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their food too.

The Four In Hand isn't about fine dining, it is a nice local pub which also sets out to serve good, affordable food. Something it achieves very well. I will...

Sadly not the best review. Walking in past groups of people smoking cancer sticks on the doorstep doesn't look good, then sitting down to a table that was stickier than sticky the stick insect on a sticky bun made us almost walk out, however we like a sizzler pub, the food is always good nicely cooked and hot, so we forgave the initial impression...knowing what we know now, we should have turned round and gone home. Its supposed to be a sizzling pub, well our food didn't sizzle, in fact the onion rings were cold, the steak was so tough it was like shoe leather, my chicken wasn't too bad, a bit burnt on the edges. My orange juice (I was driving) was almost pure water it had been watered down so much!! It wasn't even worth taking a photo, I'd be too embarrassed to post it. Sorry to leave a negative review, it may have been an off day for the staff who were...
