Went here for a Sunday lunch with six members of my family for a hoped for lovely Sunday roast dinner together. What we got was anything but. Five of us had roast beef, one had pulled chicken and my 92 year old mother chose the...roast pork. What we got served was a small pile of food in the middle of our plates, so we expected separate dishes with the vegetables to arrive next until one of us delved a bit deeper and found underneath the small pile on the plate just half a carrot, a small parsnip that had been burnt on one side, a tiny pile of cabbage which did not smell very nice, and three tiny roast potatoes. And as for the Yorkshire pudding, it was straight out of the Aunt Bessie’s freezer bag you pick up from a supermarket, a small round crispy pile of nothingness. We asked for more gravy and the smallest gravy boat I have seen in my life was put in front of us, only enough for one plate in reality, absolutely ludicrous. The pulled chicken looked like it had just been mashed up, the two small slices of beef were a bit chewy, and my mothers pork was just pathetic. We hoped the desserts would be better but sadly not. My mother asked what was in the Eton Mess and was told meringue with loads of berries, cream, and ice cream. What actually came up in a bowl was one small meringue nest that you can pick up in a supermarket for a matter of pence, about three berries and a tiny measly dollop of cream on the side. Totally disgusting. The rest of our desserts were of a similar low standard and with a bill total of £174 we were all feeling very let down. The waitress service though was good but she must have been embarrassed to see what she was having to serve up. I believe this place is trying to make out they are a boutique restaurant so think small is better but that’s not so bad if the food is delicious, but The Kentford? Do yourself a favour and give it a miss, I knew we should have gone elsewhere for a carvery but we wanted somewhere a bit special and thought this fitted the bill. How wrong were we!More
