Popped in for tea with family while back in Barton after a long time. The food was amazing - freshly made and cooked. I ordered the Steak and Ale pie, and they asked if I was alright to wait for about 40 mins as they cook them fresh - I thought that was an excellent sign of skill and care in the kitchen.

Having raised the issue with staff and to be told that’s how they always do it, (which isn’t true as been before and was nothing like what was served) none seemed to be apologetic or compensating for the issue.
