The Waldron, Crewe

On a scale of 1-10 for excellence I'd be hard pressed to get past 4. The decor was very tasteful and it was lovely to have proper height tables in little booths to ensure comfort and convenience, but the food and service let them down. One of the party wanted soup only to find they'd run out (by 6.30pm) and his second option also proved unavailable leaving him with a third choice before he could eat anything. I had gammon and found it only just cooked, whilst the onion rings were limp and the other main meal, a lasagna, was burnt in places. The drink of tea was more like dish water and the latte was hot milk with colouring. What a shame that a new pub lets itself down so much within a few weeks.
