I was looking forward to our Sunday roasts today. The last time I visited The Raven for Sunday roast was pre-covid and I remember my roast lamb, still hot and sliced infront of me, was simply cooked to perfection. It was full of flavour and...the quality of the meat itself was superb. Fast forward to today. I chose roast beef and my partner chose roast chicken (no lamb on the menu). The various roasted meat weren't on display as was previously the case but served to our table. The dishes were fairly small. What's worse the potatoes tasted like supermarket bought frozen potatoes. Vegetables consisted of a few limp, overcooked carrots, beans and couple of cauliflower florets. My roast beef was tasteless, as was the chicken. In fact I'd hazard a guess the entire meal was pre-cooked/bought from a packet previously and simply warmed up in microwave. It was a real disappointment how standards had dropped so much. I understand that hospitality industry is struggling and may be cutting corners but really to my mind, to serve food this sub-standard merely means lost future business which is a shame.More
