Only because no stars isn't an option. The pub itself is pleasant, spacious and well laid out, with a good beer and wine choice.
On Saturday night however, five items from the main menu were off and they had run out of new potatoes!
The smothered chicken I ordered as a third choice was less smothered than died of old age. It looked like it had need cooked three days ago, was as hard as nails, tough as old boots and less edible than either.
Accompanied by a small portion of cold, pallid, greasy chips and an undressed salad, it was quite one of the most lame excuses for food I have seen in a long time.
Of course it was returned, but not them taken off the bill. No fuss in taking it off, but no apology, explanation or compensatory drink, chocolate or word from the manager.
My partners casserole was adequate. Bland, not very hot and small but she can't help that. The food however was an unmitigated disaster. Chain pubs at their worst read more
