| Went to this pub with 8 colleagues for a lunch meeting on a Wednesday. It was nice and quiet with a welcoming open fire. The bar service was excellent - very friendly barman (Dan?)and the food was fantastic. Great selection of starters, mains and desserts all sensibly priced and freshly made. I chose seared Crocodile tail salad to start as I had never tried Crocodile and never seen it on a menu - delicious! The chef (Xavier) came out 2 or 3 times to help the server bring the food and to check that everything was in order - which it was. We spent about 4.5 hours in the pub and couldn't find anything to fault it. Perhaps when the barman isn't on duty they have someone working who isn't as good, hence the previous review, because nothing was too much trouble for the guys who served us. nitrox11 - 17 Apr 2008 11:30 |
| Are you serious saying you had to leave your Credit Card with someone behind the Bar before you could get served? That’s too risky for me taking my card out of sight to be cloned or misused I would have cancelled that card immediately I have been ask in Pubs and Restaurants to do this but always refuse even on my Business Accounts cards when with colleagues these days. You should know that no one should take your credit card out of your sight for security reasons how do you know that it was not cloned or misused whilst you were absent. No respectable Place would ask you for your card until presented with the Final bill then you pay at the till or by remote device. Please check your next statements carefully and if any transactions look suspicious report it immediately to the appropriate authorities. Have you never heard of Identity fraud? These People have now had the time to take or copy you Name bank card details account number & even the security number on the back of card. If you complained at the time and left your address they will have that as well? I think both you and wimc should both write to the owners of this Pub and make an official complaint because if both these statements are true it seems extremely serious and not something that should be discussed here. half_tuppence - 16 Apr 2008 12:13 |
| I liked this Pub, especially for food and its handy to pop into on the way home from work. This weekend we took my partners parents and had a couple of drinks and some food - lovely. Then it all went horribly wrong, when I went to pay I knew something was afoot when I was asked to pick my credit card from a book containing all cards of customers that had set up a tab! My bill was around half what I expected it to be so I did the honourable thing and said so, big mistake. I spent the next 15 minutes being humiliated at the very busy bar. My “complaint” was viewed with deep suspicion; I was passed to very grumpy, rude busy women who prepared four drinks orders for others while I was left standing at the bar. She spoke to the staff about me as if I was not there, “did you serve her, what did she have etc”. My mother in law is disabled and a wheelchair user, we had carefully selected the table beside the disabled toilets, I asked four times for this key but by now I had been deemed the “trouble maker” and all my requests were ignored. Not even the sight of her hobbling at crawl speed to the main toilets with a stick prompted any action. I am a forgiving sort but this is unacceptable, when someone is telling you have not charged them for everything they had and that they would like to pay £55 not £31 you should have the common decency to treat them with grateful Thanks. laidhome - 14 Apr 2008 10:01 |
| Made my first visit recently and seems to have had a gastro refit; think it was previously more of a Mr Q's type of place. Decent enough. Big_Lad - 11 Apr 2008 16:49 |
