The Marrowbone & Cleaver — Restaurant in England

We went to Marrowbone & Cleaver on Saturday and it was pants. We were so looking forward to it, we've been before and it was great. This was meant to be a treat, spent nearly £80. I had a giant Yorkshire pudding with bangers and mash. The y p was a really cheap, store bought one-tasted like cardboard, totally overcooked, I had 3 tiny sausages, two of them burnt, the gravy was made of granules and like water, it came with chips, which they charged extra and shouldn't have. All the chips were undercooked. My daughter had gammon which was tiny, thin, very dry and salty. My partner's mixed grill was ok. I ordered a coffee, cost nearly £4, which was disgusting and undrinkable. I queried it and they said that their coffee machine doesn't work so they are using instant. No refund, no half price..... My daughter ordered a chocolate fudge cake for nearly £7. A small slap of cake and one scoop of ice cream. No decoration, nothing special for that price. I ordered a cherry crumble, it was rock solid, like a brick, I kid you not. No cherries to be seen, just some odd jelly which did weird things in warm custard. Again, queried it, response was, yeah it's a bit solid, isn't it. It was too soggy last week, trying to get it right. We complained, nobody cared, no refund, no nothing. Such a waste...

haven't been here for a while so booked a table to celebrate daughter's gcse results . arrived early, food & drinks ordered. really disappointed the way this has deteriorated from our last visit. the 2 staff seemed rushed from the minute we got there to the time we left. we waited almost an hour for our food to arrive - then only 3 from 5 meals arrived . the veg with the bangers & mash was lukewarm , the lasagne was incredibly dry. the 2 portions of chicken alfredo were the reason given for our late meals. when they arrived (as we were halfway through our food ) they were disappointing - virtually no broccoli , raw looking bacon and the sauce had the texture of milk and did not taste of cheese as stated. we decided against attempting to order pudding as it was 2.45 (had been told on booking that the kitchen closed at 3) - but we weren't offered any. the upsetting part was that there was no apology for the late food and not once were we asked about our food so we could've said something. i don't want to sound negative but maybe the chef needs to prep more so people aren't waiting - we expected the chicken alfredo to be more like a pasta bake in a thick sauce not a bowl of watery soup. it really looked like a last minute dish thrown together. sorry - but that's how...

Been here before a while ago and food was always good. Recently visited not such a good experience. Had the Pate for starter at £8.95 was very overpriced the toast was basically a thin slice of white bread from a regular loaf barely toasted, pickle obviously shop bought and the pate was obviously bought in not home made very disappointing, I have had better from Aldi.

Had the chicken in leek sauce with chips for main, dry chicken breast and the sauce was very thin and could barely see a leek. On a positive the gentleman who served us was very polite and pleasant

Sat in the conservatory which was ridiculously loud, it was so loud I couldn't have a conversation with my husband sat opposite because we couldn't hear each other.

Also visited a couple of weeks ago to have a catch up with a friend, the lady behind the bar was extremely abrupt and rude to my friend. The place was almost empty and whilst waiting for me he put his belongings on a table just in the doorway of the restaurant area which was empty as it was 4pm. She rudely asked if we had booked at table and when we said no abruptly asked him to remove them and sit somewhere else, with an extremely sour look on her face.

I will definitely not be...
