A local pub. Not the most glamorous but I go there now and then. Good tapas, decent lager. It tends to become noisier with football matches on TV, but thumbs up to the manager who saves a room for no football fans.

A group of 6 visited on the 4th April 23. The pub is clean and tidy and a very good selection of beers. So far so good, we had a few drinks and then headed to a table for our lunch. 4 roasts, 2 x turkey & 2 beef. 1 x mushroom chilli and 1 other ( I can't remember ) The beefs arrived missing the Yorkshire puddings and stuffing, the turkey roasts arrived with everything promised. After making the server aware they brought out the missing items. The beef was cooked ok as was the turkey luckily enough. The portion size was abysmal, I asked if we had been given a child's portion by mistake. The few peas were hard and the carrots were solid. The stuffing ball had been cooked in the deep fat fryer for a little too long and had a very solid shell protecting the small edible bit of stuffing in the centre. the Yorkshire pud was fine, they should be as all they have to do is heat them in the oven. A tiny portion of cauliflower cheese accompanied the plate in a tiny metal ladle pot thing. The wife told me later that the mushroom chilli was disgusting, it was virtually untouched and eventually cleared away. A couple of eton mess was ordered and a apple pie and custard. The apple pie went back as it was still cold, it came back after another quick blast in the microwave a bit warmer to be covered in luke warm custard. The eton mess came in an old fashioned nickerblocker glory glass which gets narrow at the bottom. Unfortunately the full size spoon was unable to penetrate the bottom couple of inches. It tasted ok, canned spray cream, a bit of ice cream and a sprinkle of meringue. Very basic with very little thought or care. The nacho sharer starters went down well. You can't really go wrong with nachos out of a bag with salsa and cheese! don't bother with the pulled pork for 2 as it was like playing hide and seek trying to find the pork. All in all a very disappointing meal! Quite embarrassing for all at the pub. possibly the worst 180 I have spent in a very long time! not including the beers we had at the bar before sitting down. It's one of those pubs where you need to chose something from the menu that is nice and easy to cook and hard to get wrong. It will be hard to find a meal as bad as this for a very long time. Avoid! now days in inexcusable to serve food as bad as this.
