Cafe Chameleon @ The Gough Arms — Restaurant in Wales

The place itself is well presented and quirky but the overall experience was disappointing. The menu was limited and bland, none of the stuff we saw on reviews which people raved about - eg. Welsh Rarebit, were on. The food was was distinctly average and nothing special. Our biggest gripe however was the service, which at best could be described as limited, at worst unfriendly and rude.
