| A very unpleasant evening unbelievably starting with the landlady being very rude for no reason to my wife. She seemed drunk and messed up. It was quote disturbing and an evening we really want to forget. Mark11 - 31 Oct 2011 22:18 |
| My friend came up from Kent so we visited The Devil in The Boot, We had starters of 6oz Sirloin steak served with pommes frites, to follow with Pork and duck rillette served with toasted baguette and cornichons. We finished with Lemon tart with creme fraiche and raspberry puree. Great food. The Pride beer was excellent, well kept. Sarah the lady Chef and staff were very friendly and welcoming. My friend Graham Wheeler and i will visit the restaurant again. jonathan_123 - 24 Oct 2011 01:45 |
| Ate there last thursday was overwhelmed by the enormous menu and multiple specials board, didn't understand how everything could be made fresh with such a vast menu. Starters were ok, mains were a disaster, tuna special on spicy pasta was awful, raw in the middle, left me very poorly. One guest had the burger which was pure salt he sent it back and the proprieter joked that the chef must have knocked the salt into the mixture but there was no mince left to offer a second burger and by this time it had taken an hour between starters and mains. Another guest ordered the stick beef with jasmine rice, the meet was an unidentifiable cross between pork and beef and basically pure gristle. The portions were huge and virtually inedible, staff were incompetant and propriter was over friendly and repeatedly made jokes about having some of the wine on the table. One word - AWFUL alanna1912 - 15 Nov 2010 10:35 |
| Great food, appalling service. We were served a meal for six, the first plate arrived 15 minutes before the sixth. The first two dishes were cold when they hit the table. The accompanying vegetables appeared after 20 minutes (before the wine!), only after raising it to the attention of the staff several times. Bad service happens, but the attitude of the manager when we raised our concerns was thoroughly inappropriate. I refrain from bad language but to call him petulant would be a gross understatement. We will never go again despite living locally. Goodfoodfan53 - 12 Jul 2009 17:53 |
| Surprised to find three ales on here in this foody pub (Pride, Tribute and Courage). My Tribute was rather good. Not necessarily a place for the drinkers, but offers a fair range nonetheless. Gets very crowded. Chickens wandering around the car park, so the meat is obviously fresh and free range!?! Will give it another go. Quinno - 21 Jan 2009 21:58 |
