Disappointing Sunday Roast. I’m sad to say this as I have been coming to this pub the last 3 years, and I always loved the Sunday Roasts, which many people say are the best in town. We met up with friends who are new to Worthing as we wanted them to have a good experience. This weekend I chose the vegan parcel, as did my friend with dietary needs. The menu said it was gluten free, but it turned out that wasn’t accurate. She was given the contents of the parcel minus the pastry along with the veg, which was minuscule. She was initially offered falafels to make up for it, but then it turned out they were out, and so they offered her a small bowl with more contents. This looked like a small cup of lentil soup. After complaining she eventually got extra roasted potatoes. However, I can say she wasn’t missing much though. I found the parcel to be pathetically small, bland and unappealing. There wasn’t much veg, all of which was undercooked and unseasoned, and the cauliflower cheese was cold, hard and a bit sour. The stuffing balls were dry and lacked any flavour. Two of our party had their orders mixed up, and were given the wrong cuts of meat. They didn’t charge my friend for her sad vegan meal, and they did give an extra portion of beef when the meat mix up was spotted. At the end I left feeling embarrassed for taking my friends there, still hungry, and annoyed at having paid £30 for a lunch and feeling the only decent thing was my glass of wine. Sadly I think I’ll only be back for the atmosphere and a drink in future.
