Thought we would give this place a try since it's not long opened again,and the food was always quite good before. Alas this was not to be on this occasion.
We went for Sunday lunch. Three options for meat... Beef, turkey or nut roast. I chose the beef and turkey. The veg was to be seasonal. The beef was running with blood, and the turkey just taste of black pepper. None of the meat or veg was warm enough.
The veg selection was new potatoes, chantay carrots (unpeeled and with stalks still on) cauli, red cabbage and roasted parsnips. Unfortunately for me, the parsnips looked lovely, but I don't like parsnips so didn't get to try them. The gravy was watery with a thick top of fat/grease.
Really didn't enjoy mine, and hubby, who isn't very fussy at all, didn't enjoy it either.
We had a check back after a few minutes of being served our meal, but only my hubby answered it was okay. The waitress was gone before I got to answer. So at the end when she came to take our plates and asked if everything was okay, I said I didn't enjoy it at all. The manager? then came out and requested feedback, taking it all well. And to be fair, he did deduct the cost of our drinks (1xpint 1 coke) from the bill.
I had to go back home and eat a sandwich as I was still hungry. So its a big NO from us. Which is unfortunate as it could have been our go to...
Read moreAbsolutely horrible! We had gone to the Farmers for a family Sunday dinner. When food arrived the quality was awful! There was plenty of veg to go around the 6 of us but as they say quality not quantity. The mash potatoes was hard and lumpy and the sweed just did not taste right.... my nephew (1 year old) then woke, so me and my mother got him a high chair to give him some food..... the state on the high chair was disgusting!!! There was food all over the tray and rips in the seat for me this is not acceptable! My younger cousins then wanted dessert so we called a member of staff over... she was simply clueless and had to get another member of staff to tell us what 2 desserts the had available! When the chocolate fudge cake arrived it was freezing cold and solid! My grandfather and mother wanted tea so the lady brought it over for them.... the state on the cups again was awful! As a family we will not be returning to the Farmers as our experience there was far from plesent! We can't believe how they have achieved a 5 in there food hygiene rating as the place...
Read moreHad a really bad experience recently in this pub. I visited a friend who lived locally and we popped in for a quick drink at 10pm one weekend night. They overcharged me for 2 drinks and a regular got in my face straight away and started going off about me being a policeman(which I am not). My friend warned me it could be a rough pub...which I don't mind...though I do mind being overcharged for drinks and drunken regulars getting in my face...really bad.. The one positive was the bar staff were friendly and noticed we were not enjoying the 1st experience of this pub! Sorry guys you need to attract new people and change your ways! The chairs were also stacked up on tables and looked as if they were...
