The Stag, Ascot

Booked for a large party, arrived, table not ready & the place was empty, finally seated twenty minutes late. 4 2 person tables for 10, all wonky & no arm room. 30 mins before the server took the order. 40 minutes before food. Roast Beef - tough. Steak tough, very thin & certainly not medium rare. Roast pork -'well it seems to be meat', Hunters chicken, 'guess the hunter had a poor day', Haloumi - 'quite nice if somewhat tough'. Waited another 25 minutes for the table to be cleared & another 30 minutes for the pudding order to be taken. Dont bother with the cheesecake, if has a wet bottom after being defrosted & the toffee, chilli & ginger sauce is just toffee sauce, no vanilla seeds nothing to back up the Madagascan vanilla title.
