A beautiful pub with cracking staff, the food is unbelievably scrumptious and generously portioned. I dined here for a goodbye meal on a Sunday with my family and everything was perfect, even down to the pour of my Guinness. A member of my family is usually unable to finish their meal. However, we were informed that a smaller portion is available (obviously for a reduced price) and it was perfect, the consideration and care of the staff is something I would expect in a high end London restaurant !
I couldn’t decide on what meat I would have liked for my Sunday roast, and like an angel sent straight from the lord himself, the Sous-chef appeared and guided my hand (and choice) like the lord himself, or perhaps, even the devil, whispering sweet nothings into my ear and leading me into temptation with the choice of all three meats. That’s BEEF, that’s PORK, that’s LAMB, all on one plate, served with the most delightful vegetables and one of the best Yorkshire puddings a man can ask for.
The atmosphere was exquisite inside the main seating area, with the log fire cracking away, and the chatter of family and friends around us. We were even treated to exclusive entertainment for a few moments, being sung; Vera Lynn We’ll meet again, by none other than the Sous-chef, I believe his name was Miles? However, it was his own rendition, with him opting to call it “We’ll three meats again”
All in all, this is a gem of a find and can’t recommend this place enough. I hope that one day we’ll three meats again, I do know where, but...
Read moreCame here on a Friday afternoon mid afternoon for a drink and a lite bite food. The pub was not busy with around 4 or 5 tables with people eating and bar was quiet. We got greeted warmly and told as its quiet sit where we wanted and they would be over to take a drinks order. 20 mins later the girl appeared to take our drinks order then after another 10 mins still no drinks even though they had be poured and were sitting on the bar. Whilst the server prepared other drinks for other customers. Our drinks were brought over aprx 25 to 30 mins after getting seated at our table. When the drinks were brought over was asked were we ready to order in which I said no as we would just have the drinks and due to the time it took to serve them we declined on ordering food as we had concerns on how long we would actually wait with no explanation or apology or reassurance that food would not take at long just got a sigh and an OK!!! I could understand if the place was busy but it was 3 pm on a Friday and was quiet. The 2 female members on front of house if they spent less time wandering around and concentrated on excellent customer service we would have orderd meals and would not be here typing a negative review. Had heard good reviews about the place but I won't be coming here again. After working for over 30 years in hospitality I really would expect more. I would advise management who I did not see any to maybe do some customer...
Read moreWe visited this pub on a trip to Wales and were slightly disappointed by the whole experience.
The servers were kind however they took very long to do basically everything. We arrived and waited for a while to order, once we ordered we waited around 1 hour to receive our burgers. The chips on some plates were hot whilst others were like warm. The food was okay, slightly plain and no garlic aviolio on the burgers as stated in the menu.
Again we waited about 10 mins just for some sauces from the servers. My burger was plain apart from some onion rings which were undercooked and soft. Whilst eating I saw a small (non flying bug) come out from my burger, I'm not sure whether this had come from the table or the plate but either way it put me off my food. I asked for a new burger which came out very quickly however it seemed very rushed as the quality had decreased.
The serves were kind and asked me how it was, but overall I think they were just very slow. It was not busy however they was only 2 servers and I think they needed more.
I was disappointed as I barley ate any of the next burger due to the quality but still paid whole price for the meals and was offered no compensation.
Overall the food was okay, but I wouldn't go here if you are in any...
