Old Ship, Lower Swanwick

Went for dinner a few weeks back and had a steak. When the waitress asked how it was my reply of "tough as old boots" was either not heard or the phrase has fallen out of fashion. However, the distress caused them when they understood the steak was tough was embarrassing - they took away the existing plate and provided a complete new set of everything with a steak which was beautifully tender, could cut with a fork.

(First steak was cooked to order - rare - as was the second, were they just unlucky with the meat? Seems likely).

Anyway the apologies and effort made to make the meal a pleasant one was incredible. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
