Midge Hall

We visited for an 85th birthday meal on a Sunday lunchtime. The burger for one of our party was quite dry. Four of us had the carvery, the beef was inedible, the veg was over cooked and cold. On a positive note, the pork and turkey were lovely, the staff changed the beef joint out when they realised how poor it was, and the sticky toffee pudding was very good. In short, it was not a great meal.

Four of us visited recently at lunchtime. The service was quick and staff were friendly. However I was disappointed as I expected a small menu with local home cooked food. It wasnt, there was a huge menu (literally) of mainly fast food produced quickly. That said what was served was presented nicely and two of our party who love burgers and chips would return but it wasn't for me.

Considering that this pub usually gets good reviews our visit was very disappointing as it did not live up to its reputation. The service we received was very poor and probably attributed to them not having enough staff on duty to deal with the volume of customers. The food we received was at a low standard. My wife opted for a small portion of mussels mariniere which was described on the menu as being with a warm stout based sauce and served with brown bread. The dish that arrived was served with white bread and the creamy sauce was quite bland with no obvious flavour of stout. My rib eye steak was ordered as medium rare but proved to be cooked extremely rare and almost cold to the touch. No staff came to the table to ask if the meals were ok and staff were conspicuous by the absence so we could not get the faults rectified. We suffered the poor food and put the visit down as a bad experience. The manager collected our plates and showed no interest in asking how the meals were. As he was collecting my plate a number of uneaten chips fell onto the floor and were ignored by the manager. The manager's failure to come back and clean up the chips was viewed as a lack of concern. My wife was not surprised as she went on to point out the dead or dying flowers on all of the tables. The woman who presented the bill also showed no interest in gaining our opinion of the meal. The manager said goodbye as we were leaving as I seized the opportunity to explain what a poor experience it had been. He confirmed that they were short handed that night as a form of apology. The manager did ask me to pay another visit to try their services again. Based on this experience there is little likelihood that we will accept his invitation.
