The Market Inn — Restaurant in England

Visited yesterday. Ordered a starter as well as a steak for main course, plus drinks. Taking my second mouthful of mushrooms, I was greeted with a mouthful of grit/earth. After using a napkin, I decided rather than making a fuss, I would concentrate on the rest of the meal. The steak was a bit chewy, but about what I expected at the price point. The younger server came over halfway through to check how I was enjoying my meal. I explained about the grit in the mushrooms. She offered to replace the meal or if there was anything else she could do. I said that I was not after a discount but simply wanted the kitchen to know, which she said she would do. After I had finished an older lady came over to take the plates and again asked how my meal had been. I explained about the grit in the mushrooms. She actually suggested it could have been the 'seasoning' i.e. salt and pepper. I was left speechless. As you can imagine I doubt I will be eating here again. Although the grit was the worst thing, they also served the starter and main course together, transforming a relaxing lunch into a race to eat the food before it got cold. I did not ask for a discount because I wanted to make it abundantly clear that I was not simply making up a complaint. I have never been served unwashed vegetables before. Spent about £45 overall. Left wishing I had gone to McDonalds, or spent a bit more at the...

This place could be one of THE places to be. Its fine for drinks but it is known that if you want your drinks to not be forgotten or lost in the system you should order at the bar. The staff are always friendly but sadly in the past few months whenever I have eaten food here there has never not been an issue. This time, there was no cod on the app but there were veggie burgers. So I go to ask inside. No veggie burgers but there is cod available. The cappuccino was served lukewarm, no chocolate on top (forgivable)and literally an inch from the top. I went in to kindly ask for the drink to be remade and for the tap water I had asked twice for 15minutes ago. The girl who was handling the bar by herself at the time apologised and served a much better cappuccino. The spoon and sugar were forgotten. 40minutes after ordering, our one portion of fish and chips and one portion of breaded mushrooms arrived. 30 minute delays or longer, the kitchen should be informing front of house to inform customers. There was no cutlery, salt, pepper or napkins served. We then realised the cutlery is kept in the condiment caddies on the tables, which took a second as nearly all.of them were empty. We found one knife and fork. I think I'll wait until I hear better things to...

The Market Inn hosted my brother and SIL’s wedding reception last week and we all had such a great evening thanks to Ronan, Charlie, and Gillan - the lovely bar staff who served us all evening! There were a few issues with the food with dishes coming out at different times or not at all, however, this didn’t really dampen anyone’s experience especially due to the manager ensuring it was all rectified. The drink service was very quick, I was especially impressed with the speed the cocktails were coming out! All the staff were smiley, always happy to help, and really laid back which all contributed to us all having such a fun time. The manager made it extra special with complementary Prosecco for the bride and groom and bringing a penny for the bride to put in the cork while making a wish which is a lovely sentimental keepsake for her. Overall, great evening thanks to the front of...
