We went in here for a meal with family over the bank holiday weekend.

The food arrived after an incredible hour and 45 minute wait (and several polite reminders from us), and when it finally arrived it was inedible. The taglietelle was foul, while the sandwiches my wife had ordered were hard and dry (presumably from being left out for so long). There was no apology or explanation from the manager, and the "managing director" seemed far more concerned with keeping the barbecue going. Which is fine, but why not close the kitchen down if the barbecue is so much more important? We refused to pay for the food in the end. Two other groups were given refunds, and at least one group of people left after over an hour's wait.

As a last observation, the building is tatty and run down, and the toilets are disgusting.

Oh dear.

My husband and I have been to The Case is Altered several times for Sunday lunch. Over the winter we always ordered the roast which is a generous and tasty meal. Although I do find the veggie option a bit strange - cous cous with a roast dinner?

We have always enjoyed our meal and so when the sun appeared on Sunday we decided to take my sister and her boyfriend there for lunch in the garden. As it was a very warm day we didn't feel like eating a heavy roast, so we ordered other dishes from the Sunday lunch menu and were unfortunately disaapointed.

I ordered the fishcake from the starter menu with some chunky chips. The fishcake was tasty but very small and looked rather sad sitting in the middle of a huge plate in a puddle of bland sauce without even a bit of salad garnish to cheer it up. Not quite what I expected for £5.50. My chips turned out to be skinny fries.

My sister ordered the squash risotto, which was a again a small portion and rather bland, missing the rocket promised on the menu. Again disappointing for the price (£8.50). The men also felt their sausage and mash at £8.50 was nice, but rather overpriced for 2 sausages and a pile of mash.

I would say that unless you are going for a roast avoid this pub for food. It is very overpriced and you could eat in a decent restaurant for the same money. I expect more than bog-standard pub food for restaurant prices.

This pub has certainly improved under the new management. Good selection of guest ale at reasonable prices and good service. Hope the improvement can be sustained in the summer time.

I've always like this pub, but I've yet to eat here - their summer BBQs look good, and smell great! It's a great place to end after a walk up the hill through the fields...

I guess this place is due for a new report.... especially as it appears to be under new management.

The choice of beer has improved significantly with at least 2 and often three guest ales on offer (along with some lagers and a particularly nice cider).

It seems that the new management are trying to improve the food on offer and have set some space aside for diners - while leaving plenty of space for people who 'just' want to have a drink.

The serving area at the bar is still quite small but the friendly staff do get through the queue quite quickly if it builds up...

I can see this becoming a regular haunt especially as I can justify visiting after a stroll around the common to work upa thirst.
