Hands down THE WORST excuse for a Sunday Roast I've ever had the misfortune to pay for. Avoid like the plague. A shame, because the live DJ "Count Skylarkin" was fantastic and clearly a lot of people there had come to see him. The beer selection including alcohol free was decent, but prices for beer and wine were steep for the area, and don't even bother asking for something like a Bloody Mary because "we don't do cocktails". Didn't bother wasting any extra money on dessert so can't comment on that.

Roast potatoes were like rocks, grey inside and inedible. Can only have been cheap, shop-bought frozen ones thrown carelessly into a fryer. Yorkshire puds were similarly cheap and shop-bought, dry as a bone and tiny. Veg was grey, boiled in plain water, had apparently never seen seasoning. The cauliflower cheese had no cheese, just a thin, flavourless white sauce that barely even left a mark in the dish there was so little of it poured over the top of the boiled veg. The red cabbage had at least seen a splash of vinegar and was probably the best bit. The meats were all tough and chewy, and the vegan roast was just tasteless mush. The only thing decent was the small portion of chips that came with the tasteless vegan burger. My partner was ravenously hungry but couldn't stomach finishing his plate - he left half and just scoffed a lot of cheese and biscuits at home afterwards instead.

We witnessed several tables get refunds, one sent their food back twice then just left without paying. I'm not sure what management is playing at, charging such prices while clearly skimping on both decent quality ingredients and paying a chef with the skills to cook them, but it seems a terrible shame to squander such a good venue by acting with greed aforethought. I do hope they get their act together before they put off enough locals to send the place under. We were also seated over an hour late for our 1:30pm booking as the kitchen was already struggling by that time.

In future I shall eat earlier elsewhere and use this place only for a couple of beers while listening to music with friends.
