Went there for a meal for 5. The time that we went to was on a Monday night which was unusually quiet probably due to the season however this most definitely helped the quality of the food and our experience.
The variety of food may be a little limited for those who enjoy trying new things but a mix of classic pub grubs and show pieces was good.
Three of our group had the Chicken Tikka which came as a very healthy serving (as did all our meals), one of us had a Steak Sizzler, and I had a Cajun Chicken. We all enjoyed a dessert at the end too.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Cajun Chicken and recommend it, the Chicken Tikka was exactly what you'd expect, and even though I see "sizzling" or even any food which comes on a skillet as too much of a gimmick, my companion rated the actual food part of the spectacle highly.
I would like to visit again soon, however, keeping in mind that we were amongst the only ones there at the time I easily see the quality of the food could drop with a sudden intake of customers. Not only that, but I couldn't imagine how 'misty' or 'foggy' it would be if two or more people ordered a Sizzler at a time.
The gentleman who served us was nice and polite and let us open a tab for our evening there.
Having worked in the food industry I know that desserts are not the focus in any restaurant. With that in mind the ice-cream wasn't frozen with ice shards in the middle (which is good), the sponge pudding served with custard was cleaned up, and our raspberry meringue ice-cream combination (I cannot remember the name sorry) was sweet and light.
Thank you...
Read moreWe have been staying down the road on a holiday with our parents and our little one. Myself and my wife took the offer of my parents babysitting to head out for something to eat this evening and chose to come here. I'm glad we did, the food was excellent and the service was great through out.
I opted for the Sirloin steak (medium) and my wife had the home made Chicken Madras from the specials menu. Both the portion sizes were extremely generous and the food was really tasty. My steak cooked perfectly and my wife's curry was delicious.
Our plates were collected promptly after finishing our mains and we were offered the dessert menu, we both obliged and I went for a bannoffee sundae and my wife the apple pie and ice cream. Again portion sizes great all made with fresh ingredients and extremely tasty.
After we'd finished we went to the bar and settled the bill and were greeted again by another bubbly and polite member of staff, who asked how everything had been. "Fantastic" was our response.
Sadly we live in Suffolk so it's a bit of a hike to come visit regularly, but for anyone who is holidaying or who lives nearby I would highly recommend a visit. It's a fantastic independently run pub which serves great food. Places like this deserve plenty of support and custom. The value for money is brilliant for what is here. Far better than any...
Read moreMy brother, Gran and I went to the Four Crosses Inn Menai bridge this evening for food. I had previously been during the day about two months ago and had a lovely sausage baguette and the price was reasonable.
However it was a total different story tonight, 35 mins wait for food, Gran didn't have her coffee until 10 mins after food was served and the waiter was extremely inattentive. I had asked for her coffee to be brought over twice before having our food! I had rump steak which was ok, my onions and mushrooms were covered in greese and the chips needed a extra 15 mins minimum of cooking time, soggy and pale. Grandma's chips were the same and her battered fish/cod was rock hard, she also asked for garden peas not mushy, but both were put on her plate! The mushy peas put her right off!!! My brother had sausages and 'chips' instead of 'mash' and was given vegetables on his plate although I asked for no veg. His chips was also inedible. I also had peppercorn sauce instead of Diane.
The food plus a coffe, lemonade and black and coke costed me £61.40!!! A total rip off, I like to recommend places that I eat at but I would certainly avoid dining at this pub/resreaunt ever again.
Over all a shocking...
