On arriving we were shown to our table, there were a few people waiting but only one table of four eating, the service was painfully slow ( waiting over an hour for our lunch). One young girl seemed to be doing everything, bar, waitress and kitchen assistant, there was another staff member floating about but all she seemed to do was talk. We should have left after half an hour waiting but we were hungry so stayed.
We had to take cutlery from an adjoining table as our table wasnt set although reserved.
The lunch arrived after an age, OMG the worst roast we have had, the food was stone cold, the roast pots were hard and WHITE! The pigs in blankets werent even on the plate. Peas and carrots were watery, the yorkshires were burnt - these we could see from our seats were kept in Tupperware boxes on a shelf ( uncovered and cold) and were plonked on the plate just as it left the kitchen. The only hot dish, that we had to pay £1 extra for & I assume the item that was heated in the microwave ( we could hear the tell tale beeps) was the cauli cheese which turned out to be broccolli in what tasted like a blue cheese sauce 🤮 I HATE BLUE CHEESE. If I’m not mistaken the gravy tasted like “maggi” gravy usually used in hospitals and old peoples homes. The whole lunch was tasteless.
On leaving I asked the very busy young lady if the chef had been changed in the last few months to which she replied yes, I told her it showed and said that she could go to the kitchen and tell them that it was the worst meal we have had and that I was taking it home to cook it properly ( I HATE WASTING FOOD especially when you pay £32), there was no apology or any sign of a discount, we wont be back, we’ll keep driving to a place nearby their sunday lunch is outstanding for the same price and cauli cheese is included at no extra cost.
I wish i had asked to see their temperature records to see the holding temperature of the meat and gravy, I did look for a food rating I’m not saying they don’t have one its just not easily seen if they do.
Thanks all
