The Melbourne Arms — Restaurant in England

Worst place ever! Phoned and told a time, when I called back to ask to sit earlier. They agreed to the earlier time (passing trade)

Sat for 15 minutes and ordered drinks, the drinks were fine… On the other hand being asked 5 times if we had booked and talking about us behind our back at the bar, is disgraceful behaviour!

The pub was empty with just 3 others in the whole dining area. Approximately 36 dining seats available and we would have been eaten and away within an hour! As we had another 35 minutes to our journey home

Any chef who had a conscience would have sat in a chair and overseen a junior chef. I could continue to rant about how poor our experience was, but I hope you get the message and do...

Four of us have visited here twice for food over the weekend. We booked a table on both occasions. The pub was welcoming with a log burner in the middle near to the dining table. We had three dogs between us and they were made welcome too. The food was excellent. We sampled the pie, the stuffed chicken breast and the sticky pork with rice. Everyone cleared their plates and reported back to the waiter that the food was amazing. We had a couple of drinks each, the total cost was just under £100.00. We were so impressed that we booked for Sunday lunch the following day. The Sunday lunch was just as nice, the leaks in cream sauce were to die for (all apart from the yorkshire puddings which were over done, burnt and crispy). Again the cost was around...
