Crooked Billet, Iver Heath

Went there last night (Thursday) at around 8.15. Greeted and shown a table. Waitress comes and takes drinks order. Quickly back with the drinks. Then tells us quite a few things are off the menu. Ordered Cod and chips. No cod I'm afraid. Ok then, a couple of steak burgers. Comes back 3 minutes later to say there are no steak burgers. Or chicken. Or pheasant (rather bizarrely). Apparently the delivery had only come at 6.00pm and it was still frozen. Nothing like freshly produced and cooked food!!

At this point we said we'd leave it then and go elsewhere, we didn't fancy a microwaved lasagne. Obviously had to leave the 3 diet cokes pretty much un touched but we were still relieved of �6 for them. Might it not have been a good idea to tell us there was no food before taking our drinks order?

Ended up in the Black Horse pub down the road where we had a lovely meal.

We went into the Crooked Billet because it had just been refurbished. Don't be tempted. There are far better places to eat locally.
