| Further to my recent review I have been contacted by the the pub and invited back by them to try their food and service once again I shall post a further review again when I have re visited the establishment eddiej - 21 Nov 2008 11:52 |
| I visited this pub last Saturday evening having read the articles in the local newspaper about it being the Gastro pub of the year for 2008. On my arrival things went downhill and never really got up again.I had phoned to make a reservation in the restaurant the previous day but when I arrived the waitress said that they hadn't got a reservation even thought I was joking about it. Eventually after looking between a book and a piece of paper she seemed to be working from she found the reservation.It apparently is the system that reservations are written into the book first then transposed to the large piece of paper.Ours hadn't .We were told to get a drink at the bar then she would bring a menu over to us.After ordering a bottle of wine at the bar from a barman, with all the charisma of a Siberian prison guard, we eventually found a seat and waited for the promised menu to arrive and waited and waited. Some time later the waitress walked past us and this must have refreshed her memory as the menu then arrived with an assurance not to worry as she had found a table for us.This sounded as though she was doing us a favour rather r than a service we were going to pay for. At last we sat down and ordered our meal. My starter arrived on it's own and thinking that my companion's was delayed but on it's way I began to eat mine as it was going cold.The next contact with the waiting staff was us being asked if everything was OK. When asked where the soup had got to the waitress said she hadn't heard the order.By now the idea of soup had passed from my companion's mind and she then declined the offer of it being brought to us not wanting to eat on her own as I had been forced to .We were told that it hadn't gone on the bill and an apology was given.Sincere it was not!! The mains and a dessert were brought but were nothing special. The restaurant part of the pub is quite nice if you don't look up and see all the pieces of blue tack on the ceiling .The menus that were brought to us were covered in stains and talked of the pub's summer menu considering it is nearly Christmas no wonder they were dirty and smeared! All in all a very very disappointing evening and how they won this award I have simply no idea! I have e mailed the pub to get their side of the evening but as yet had no reply which taken with the service we got on the evening we were there comes as no great surprise ! I will avoid this pub in the future and go to better and cheaper ones nearby. eddiej - 17 Nov 2008 11:45 |
| NOT AWFUL, just a shame about some of the people these places get Went to the plough inn christleton on 9th September, we were celebrating a friends birthday; we had a starter main and dessert and i must say that i could not find a single fault. The staff were polite and efficient and the food was superb, and the choice of real ale's excellent! The decor and the general atmosphere & ambience was fantastic,you feel like you are stepping back in time to a traditional Public House; you got the feel that the owner takes pride in what he/she does, and for anyone who gets the chance you must see there gardens/orchard and livestock! 'not the run of the mill.' You go into so many pubs in Chester and find that it is either a wine bar or clinical to the point of becoming a Bupa Health Clinic i decided to write this 'honest' account of my experience after reading a few of the previous reviews, ironic the times and dates of those negative ones!!!!!!!! i guess you might say i feel quite stong about the kaliber of those kinds of people having worked in the industry for many years, all mouth; no substance! all that i can say to anyone generally interested in dining here is try it, you will see and aggree that this is not a waisted visit, but one that will certainly be enjoyed claire_3213 - 11 Sep 2008 21:52 |
| AWFUL! Lunch menu very boring & extremely limiting. The food on offer was no more than you might expect in any cafe, no where near "gastro pub" style. Decor is old-fashioned beyond words, which made the whole place feel quite uncomfortable. I ordered a chicken club on brown. Oh dear. Wrong bread, burnt, & absolutely smothered in foul, greasy, overpowering cheese. There was little chicken & what there was seemed very poor quality. The tiny salad garnish didn't make up for the high price. No-one else in my party was pleased with their food either. I sent it back & didn't pay. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! stu_cubb2307 - 13 Aug 2008 19:50 |
| Probably one of the worst pub lunches I've EVER had! A very old fashioned menu with a limited choice of basic pub grub and sandwiches. The Chicken Caesar salad came with baby gem lettuce, bacon, red peppers, olives, celery and onion but no traditional cos lettuce, very little chicken, no Caesar dressing or parmesan! A total waste of money. Won’t be returning in a hurry. flojo - 13 Aug 2008 19:26 |
