We had booked for the Sunday roast, and upon arrival, was shown to our table. After roughly 15 minutes, a waitress turned up and asked us if we wanted drinks ( we had already decided on our starter and main by this time ) . She returned five minutes later with the drinks and said someone would be with us shortly to take our order. Ten minutes later, a waitress came to our table and took our order. I ordered the camembert starter to share, and the trio of meat roast main and my partner ordered the vegetarian roast main. The camembert starter was good. It was overpriced but good. A waitress came to clear our plates and cutlery and said she would bring some clean knives and forks - she didn't. I had to grab some from a vacant table. When the mains turned up, my partner was presented with a pork roast ( luckily, she is not of the Islamic faith). She explained she had ordered the vegetarian, the waitress apologised and said she would sort it out. About 5 minutes later, another waitress returned with a roast - a vegan roast ! We mentioned that it was missing the yorkshire pudding ( the only difference between the vege and vegan ). Whilst waiting for the missing pudding to arrive, we were presented with a plate of pigs in blankets and other bits , we explained we hadn't ordered them, the waitress apologised and then disappeared with said plate. I had nearly eaten my roast by the time my partner got her yorkshire pudding , not just a single yorkshire pudding though, 3 yorkshire puddings turned up The waitress apologised again and took the other 2 away . It was only a couple of minutes after that another waitress came over.... with another yorkshire pudding !! The apologies were getting boring now and falling on deaf ears. Finally, after a catalogue of errors and ridiculous waiting times, we had finished eating , I have to say, the food was good though, hence the 4 stars. I fancied a lager to finish off and help me relax some. As our table was being cleared, I put in my request for the pint. The waitress returned 10 minutes later and said to me, " Oh, you ordered a drink, didn't you ?" I don't know how I held back from unleashing a string of expletives ! It was staring to feel like it was all deliberate. How else could there be this many f@@k ups by accident? There seemed to be a complete loss of communication between the waitresses. We paid and went to another pub for drinks .
