The Green Man, Ash Cum Ridley

Just had Sunday lunch with the family here today. First impressions were that the pub was very nice and clean. Barmaid was friendly. Would be nice if they gave you a print-off of the menu so that you didnt all have to leave the table to look at the board for starters as well as specials. Waiter was nice. Starters came up in good time and were of good quality. All enjoyed. However this is when it all went downhill. The Sunday Roasts were very dissapointing. The beef came without Yorkshire Puddings, which was a blessing as there were two with the vegetarian roast which came straight from a freezer pack. The waiter was kind enough to bring extra vegetables but this was a mix of tasteless green beans and carrots and soggy bland leeks. Very odd. By far the worst part were the "Roast Potatoes" which were also from the freezer. How hard is it to peel and roast real potatoes? The Desert choice was very poor with at least 3 items being just ice cream. However the final insult was when they brought the bill over but somehow "forgot" that they had already charged us 100.00 deposit. We were about to pay the bill when we asked if the deposit had been taken into account and were told they had made a mistake and not deducted it. Customers BEWARE.
