The Walkford, Walkford

I would not advise going here for a meal.
Medium Rump steak not slightly pink or even red but actually uncooked, you knoww the dark red slightly jelly like look.

As I was waiting for my replacement I thought that did not look like a rump cut, my partner's steak was more rare than medium but OK , not,still did not look or taste quite right.

Replacement came and it looked like a cheap thin frying steak, I asked the waitress to stay even with the steak knife the chef left me it was hard to cut , it was overcooked, fatty and the chips were twice its thickness.

I did get a refund but that was a ruined evening out. IMHO the "chef" was put out so he picked the worst piece of meat and override it. I suspect the steak knife was his joke , the normal cutlery was plain knives.

The bar manager made some excuse about they could not tell how they would cook and it may have been a bad batch. Well a chef could tell by looking if the steak was and any experience would allow him to grill a piece of meat. I asked if he was a chef shejust replied has been here a year, after a year cooking steaks would think he could get it right at least 1 in 2 tries.

Poor meal, chef having a laugh, even poorer excuses.
