Unorganised from the beginning of the visit. Few minutes wait for the booked table, nothing unreasonable but given the restaurant was half empty and staff looked disinterested.
It took 15 minutes for one of the waiters to take our drinks order, another 15 for food order.
One of the starters came with couple of hairs included at no extra cost, replacement was offered but at that point the appetite was nowhere near to be found.
Mains were mostly ok, thankfully the hairy cheese person received a decent steak, but the other medium rare one ended up being a shoe sole. Hardly eaten, still managed to make an appearance on the bill. The only check we received from any of the staff was when most of the mains were already finished.
Deserts were offered and delivered in a reasonable amount of time.
Once the bill was produced, few drinks and toupee were taken off. No member of management was at the table at any given point.
As someone with significant hospitality experience, if I was the one providing such service, I'd have a long long think about my future in...
Read moreMy husband and I dropped in here for a meal on Friday evening. I ordered salmon which was ok. It wasn't great, but not bad either. My husband ordered home made steak pie but this was very poor. He had a small splodge of congealed mashed potato and some mixed veg which was cold by the time it was served to him. He doesn't really eat veg anyway but I tasted the carrots and they were horrible, they had an odd taste and were not at all nice. The steak pie came in a small dish and looked nice from the top but underneath the pastry, there was a stew which only had about 3 or 4 small bits of steak in it but was bulked out by carrots and possibly turnip. It was more like a vegetable stew with a couple of bits of meat thrown in and was definitely not worth the money. He left still hungry so went to the local fish and chips shop where he had a...
Read moreNice restaurant with pleasant outdoor seating. Service was good and friendly and the food by an large nice, though not exceptional. I enjoyed the fish curry, though the naan was a bit disappointing, looked and tasted like the stuff you can pick up in Tesco to microwave at home. If you're not going to make your own, I'd rather they did away with the cheap naan and added a spot of salad or maybe sag aloo instead, given it came with rice too. Husband had the burger, which looked and tasted lovely except for the patty which was on the bland side. Not a huge fan of apple crumble in general, but that was genuinely nice, for once, the sourness of the apples was well balanced with the blackberries but without killing it with sugar, A+. Overall, would come back but would be even happier if they tried for a bit more quality...
