| Eat regularly here and I don't really know why - it seems to have always been a family favourite. The food at present is very indifferent with one meal being half-decent and the following being a huge let-down. The worst offenders are the frankly appauling chips which seem to often be undercooked (oil not hot enough?) and some of the cuts of meat used which are often gristly or overly fatty. I also think the hamburger - whilst looking impressive as it is stacked up and held together by a skewer - is far too greasy and not worth the £9 or so asking price. Tge mash often seems to be lumpy as well. Its a real shame as we've been coming as a family for many years and whilst my other dining companions seem to see these shortcomings as "one-offs" (that keep happening!), I don't really think its good enough. The pub itself is excellent with decent ales, friendly staff and a very popular pub quiz which we have taken part in several times, but it is being sorely let down by sub-standard food charged at a premium rate. willyfog - 13 May 2008 11:34 |
| I cant speak for the beer as I had a bottle of Newcastle Brown. The food was poor, presented in the pyramidical style beloved of TV but tasteless vegetables and a lamb shank which could have been turkey. Whoever cooks seem s to think volume is the thing. I wasnt to happy to see the "cheff" rummaging around in the waste bin. The shame is the place has lots of potential but they dont realise you must be on top line with food."thats good enough" is not good enough!! diehard54 - 28 Oct 2007 14:55 |
