| We went one evening about 9 months ago, we had a superb meal, every course was truly delicious and well cooked, beautifully presented, service was second to none. Our only complaint was the room was a little chilly. Unfortunately we have not managed to get back again. anonymous - 20 Feb 2007 20:48 |
| I tend to eat Sunday Lunch in a pub somewhere in Yorkshire every week and I knew of this pub but had not previously been inside. Upon arriving I was heartened to see a sign by the door indicating the food was of a high standard and that the pub had won awards. Stepping inside I was impressed with what looks to be a recent makeover and peeped into the restaurant area to the right before entering the spacious split-level bar area. Staff were bright, pleasant and welcoming and I bought a pint of Landlord and my companion had lager. The bar meal menu seemed comprehensive enough for our needs today and we both ordered slow braised lamb served with roast parsnips and fresh rosemary jus at £9.95 Noticing the pub made quite a thing of wine with a separate wine list and amusing quotations on a board behind the bar I decided a glass of decent red would be available so asked at the bar. The only red wine available by the glass was 'French table wine' so I stuck to beer:-( The food arrived served in large soup plates. A very pale coloured decent size lamb shank sitting on a few slivers of parsnip with some watery liquid and a sprig of rosemary accompanied by a tiny dish of fresh carrot slices and green cabbage. The food wasn't particularly warm and the meat hadn't been cooked hot enough to break down huge layers of fat. The only taste was of fat which permeated the otherwise tasteless water laughing called jus. The parsnips were colourless and tasted as though they had simply been boiled, there was no evidence of roasting. I was surprised there were no potatoes at all and the portion of vegetables was on the small side for two people. I've seen too many food programmes to complain BEFORE I eat unless the food is absolutely unpalatable so I ate the miserable tasteless offering and left. Reading the reviews and the information around the pub I can only assume the wonderful chef mentioned on the notice at the door was on holiday or off sick today because no pub could serve food like that and expect to survive.

| This has always been a good place to have a few drinks. Much improved since the old pool room has been returned to a restaurant - Number of Chavs greatly reduced. Excellent food and efficient staff. JRT - 30 Aug 2005 21:05 |
