The Old Devil, Knowl Hill

Great food, appalling service. We were served a meal for six, the first plate arrived 15 minutes before the sixth. The first two dishes were cold when they hit the table. The accompanying vegetables appeared after 20 minutes (before the wine!), only after raising it to the attention of the staff several times. Bad service happens, but the attitude of the manager when we raised our concerns was thoroughly inappropriate. I refrain from bad language but to call him petulant would be a gross understatement. We will never go again despite living locally.
