What a massive dissapointment this place turned out to be. I used to frequent the Ashburton Arms a few years ago when a friend of mine was head chef so when a few of us got together in Kingsbridge for a weekend we thought it would be nice to go and see how it was now. The land lady seemed nice enough when booking accepting a booking for 12 of us on the condition we pre-ordered our food, which we did.
However, on the day when we arrived, firstly it transpired that we were on 2 tables which we hadn't been informed of. We were met with what was basically a get on and sit down as i'm too busy for this attitude. We were charged full price for my 7 year old Son who was told he had to have a steak as everyone else was, this is a 7 year old for crying out loud! When someone accidentlly knocked a vase over (which didn't break I hasten to add) we were verbally scolded by the management.
I have never been so offended by the service receieved in a pub when paying £16 for a steak which was not filling and not cooked very well. All in all this pub should be shut down to avoid anyone else going through the trauma of dealing with the awful people who run it.
If you want good food, good service and good value for money, DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more
