Lovely pub, the management team are fantastic. The food however has a lot to be desired. Went for a roast on 29/10. Quickly seated with the table request completed. We ordered at the bar and then sat back down for a 45 minute wait for...2 roast dinners. Whilst I couldn't see how busy upstairs was, I could see downstairs was full so expected a bit of a wait and wouldn't have minded at all if the food was good. Roast potatoes looked very anemic, almost not roasted at all, still quite raw in the middle. Carrot-okay some people like it Al dente, it probably needed another 10 minutes cooking before it could be considered that though. The roast parsnip was so hard and raw my fork wouldn't go into it. The savoy cabbage was very rubbery and the braised red cabbage had no flavour. Yorkshire pudding burnt and rock hard. Everything was lacking seasoning, to the point where I was beginning to wonder whether the kitchen even had salt and pepper My friend had the nut roast which had a very pleasant flavour but the texture was not great. The chicken was very nice and quite juicy its just such a shame the rest of the meal was horrendous. The manager offered apologies and comped the meal in the end but I can't help but feel this would have been avoided if anyone had done a check back prior to my walking up to the bar and asking for the bill. A lot of retraining needed for bar and kitchen.More
