We were seated in the conservatory but the acoustics of the room meant that we were really struggling to hear one another. We had to go looking for staff to order initial drinks. We ordered our food, soup was advertised as tomato but arrived as...mushroom, I am told that it was nice but we were told that the specials board had not been updated today, hence the mix up - so not so much specials of today then? Main courses arrived - and special mention to the fish platter as it was fantastic - but the side dishes did not arrive for a good ten minutes after the main dish, we were not offered more drinks, no-one checked that the meal was ok, we were not offered condiments with the meal. Coffees arrived and put on the end of the table with a mumble by the waitress so unsure which was which, then we had to go to the bar to pay - but the bar staff were run off their feet due to a function in the function room, so car park also rammed. The fish dish I could not fault, and if I went back it would have to be in the main pub (not conservatory) and a quiet night - so I agree with others food excellent, to get sides at the same time as main meal could be greatly improved. And service really needs improving as customers would spend more and return.More
