The Oliver Twist Country Inn and Restaurant — Restaurant in Fenland District

Went here for a meal on Sunday 13th August 2017. We have been to this restaurant about fifteen times (we are local) before and have had nice meals and pleasant times, but on this day things didn't go as we'd expected. I had the roast pork my wife had the lamb, the meal was ok but the portions have now shrunk considerably. I thought we were going to get another plate of vegetables but we just got the one. When our plates got taken away we waited for her to return for the "Would you like any desserts" the answer would of been a absolute Yes, as we were still hungry. She never returned.

They didn't even offer any...

Had a lovely Sunday dinner at the Oliver Twist with family. Easy to book via Open Table we were in and at our table straight away. Starters were good, the whitebait was plentiful and the Camembert and pate starters were very good. For mains two of us had beef and one chicken. The beef was nicely sliced, not too thin with nice roast potatoes and parsnips and tasty gravy all topped off with a giant Yorkshire pudding. Have to say it was all very tasty. Similarly the chicken was well received. Unfortunately we were too full for desserts so can't review those. It's just under £20 per head for two courses so reasonable enough for the quality. Service was good throughout and extremely friendly. Will...
