Very Disappointing! After reading positive reviews we were looking forward to our New Years Eve Breakfast, (even though we asked on the phone if it was a normal breakfast, in actual fact it was a fixed brunch for 18.95 a head.)Fair enough. We ordered our hot drinks and they came quickly however our starter (waffle) took 1 hour to arrive! Why? By that time my tea was cold! After the starter we then waited another three quarters of an hour for a very average full English ! My partners scrambled egg and salmon on toast was poorly presented and more like what you would expect from a cheap cafe, as you can see in the picture, she didnt eat all of it as the toast was almost black! At No time did anyone come and ask if everything was ok, even at the end, no questions at all! My friend couldnt eat the salmon and we all agreed it was far too salty! Even the bacon on my breakfast was too salt for some. No one cleared the table at the end or asked if we wanted anything, we had to approach the bar for the bill, we mentioned the poor/slow service and overly salty salmon and burnt toast, they agreed to take off 10% but only by us asking. When we checked the bill we had been charged 5x main brunches! Considering there was only 4 adults and one child that didnt have brunch, just the starter, did seem to show even more incompetence unless its a mistake which coincidentally benefits them? (Cynical I know) The seat at the end of the table kept getting nudged by the waitresses and customers passing by which was annoying also. There is no dedicated baby changing either just a mat if you ask. Toilets are very small. The actual ambiance is ok if not a little cramped. Our main disappointment apart from the food itself was the waiting times, you should never have to wait an hour for a starter! Let alone 45 minutes for your main! We arrive just before 1130 and did not leave until after 2pm! Unfortunately a poor experience and we all agreed we will not return. We have eaten in most of the places in Ashby and unfortunately this venue was underwhelming for the reasons mentioned.
