I have never placed a review before but this has to be said. My partner and I have just visited The Star Inn Vogue for a meal, we have been before on a number of occasions and the food has been good, tonight however was...a completely different story, we booked a table and arrived on time, we ordered a starter to share Nacho's followed by Ocean pie & Veg and a homemade cottage pie and veg with a side of chips, the nacho's were bought to the table with the side of chips, I questioned why the chips had come out and was informed by the young waiting staff that they were not told any different, then within a minute both mains came out and again when questioned the bar staff were blamed for not putting it in separately. We eat a little of the starter then left it as the mains were going cold.
The mains I will start with the cottage pie, the mince tasted like and looked like tinned, the ocean pie only had a few very small prawns under the mash not other fish, both mash potato toppings tasted like processed mash and the Veg for both mains were cauliflower and three slices of carrots which all tasted frozen not fresh. My partner and myself tried to eat a little of the mains but couldn't we finished our drinks and went to pay
The bar staff asked how the meals were and I informed them we had left them as not good at all, she asked why and I explained all the above the waiter was also at the bar at the time and he nodded in agreement when I stated the potato tasted processed, the veg with frozen, the prawns were chewy with no other fish. The bar staff did offer to get the landlord but I declined stating I just wanted to pay and get out but wouldn't be back, we are part of the pubs winter trade but not anymore.
I have been unable to give The Star any rating it was that bad, however I did pay as the staff need their wagesMore
