Popped in after a lovely walk nearby today. I spotted on FACEBOOK and on the sign down the road that they have on offer fish and chips for 9.95. Seemed a great deal along with the bread and butter and pot of tea.
Service was...excellent, pub is as ever lovely inside with it roaring fires. Sadly the food was rather poor quality, the fish was very soggy and mushy inside the quite thin batter. The fish fillet is obviously frozen which I would expect, however I was disappointed that it was a cheap fillet of catfish or as now advertised in shops basa. Please chef correct me if I'm wrong here.
The mushy peas were dry and flavourless and how the bread had been buttered was laughable. Cold hard butter pressed onto the bread, just leave it out to soften or allow the customer to spread themselves. The chips were delicious, and appeared to be home cooked and fresh, i could be wrong.
Annoyingly when I paid the tab the meal was actually 10.95 not 9.95 as edvertised elsewhere.
Would I visit again YES, would I recommend to others ABSOLUTELY. I will stick to my usual pie meal next time I visit.More
