Yew Tree — Restaurant in South Ribble

Good food thoroughly enjoyed but was spoiled by unruly kids. 2 children were allowed to run riot within the conservatory area They were allowed to remove their shoes and socks and proceeded to "skate" along the carpet using the menus from the tables in their bare feet. The girl sat at an unoccupied table and put her feet up on the table The cutlery, set out on vacant tables were knocked to the floor whilst the mother/responsible adult(not) completely allowed them to do it. We pointed this out to the waiter who said the manager wasn't in today so couldn't do anything about it I stressed to him that the tables and menus would need a good clean with disinfectant before unsuspecting diners sat at the tables. The mother and friend were oblivious to what the kids were doing and even with the shouting and screaming they were doing never checked them or made them quieten down Such a shame to be irritated by them when the meal was actually very good. I'm all for taking the kids out for a meal but they shouldn't be allowed to run riot risking tripping waiters with hot food and drinks and also with having bare feet risking standing on any broken glass etc and also spoiling someone...

The yew tree is a large pub near the capital centre that serves food. It has a good size car park and a large bar area.

The seating area in the restaurant is a large open space and is quite cold, which isn't ideal when you have elderly people with you.

The service was ok upon entry and to take your order, however after you have been served you are really forgotten about. After we had finished our meal it was 15 mins before anyone came to ask if we were finished and to clear. It was then such a wait for the bill we actually got up and went to pay on exit.

The food was a mixed bag, ok for some, not so good for others. Pizza are very good, but I had the all day breakfast that looked good on the plate, but some elements were barely warm, or even cold.

Coffees again were just warm.and you end up drinking them quickly before they are cold.

All in all probably could have been better, and I am sure they do output better meals/service as it was busy suggesting it is usually the case.

Not excellent, but not a disaster, just...
