Had a lovely Korean chicken strips starter & a mixed grill however I asked for my steak medium rare & it arrived as medium to say the least & no peppcorn sauce available so I had to make do with a garlic & mushroom sauce which had no mushrooms in at all & be also in a very small pot for £2.00 so a little disappointed.
My partner had a garlic mushroom starter, served on a crumpet, unusual but tasty she said but it def needed more of the sauce to cover it.
I would attend again but they do need be a bit more generous with the sauce portions which are an extra for the price being charged !!
Went into the pub as it is local and has been subject to a refurbishment recently, On entering today - a Sunday afternoon 3:40pm , it was quiet. Stood at the bar for 3 minutes an no staff appeared, on finally appeared from the cellar. My husband ordered drinks and selected some nibbles from the menu (which was out in each table) whilst getting the drinks poured, to then be told unless we had booked we could not order food and that the next free table was 6:30pm. Questioned could we not order bar snacks even? No!
Couple sat near us told the same and they walked out. Sadly we had ordered beers by this point they had not - otherwise we would have left too. The reason we couldn’t order food apparently was due to kitchen demand, on counting there were approximately 11 people spread through a restaurant with at least 40 seats (Covers).
To add to the insult we had to clean our table of glasses and move the used plates, the adjacent table was still uncleared some 35 minutes later. As a local I won't be going back until either the management changes or more hopefully it is taken over by someone with a modicum of catering and hospitality sense. The only positive was the beer was good.
