  today we ate at this pub and after having a bad meal there before we stayed clear but as it is now under new management we decided to give it another go it was a meal for 8 on a sunday afternoon we had booked the table in advance as it was a 19th birthday party, after ordering our drinks we were seated in the back part of the restaurant which was very dimly lit, but it is oct so not much sunlight coming in from the window, we ordered 6 main roast dinners a child's meal and a sandwich, after about 20mins our meals came out and we sat and waited and waited but still no vegetables were bought out for the 6 roast dinners so after eating my spuds as they were going soggy as the meat had been stacked on top of it i went to the bar and asked if the roast dinners still came with veg so after more of a wait we all got a portion of veg i did ask for extra gravy in an attempt to warm up the meals with not much luck. after the main corse we waited to see the desert menu and after about a 15-20 min wait i went to the bar and found the menu my self and at the same the waitress came with them, after ordering 7 deserts we waited and waited ordered another round of drinks and 2 coffees after these were all drunk still no deserts at the point were we were deciding to leave as our deserts came out, when ordering the coffees i asked if there was cream available to find out there wasnt but was served cream with some of the deserts after the large bill for way over £150 was paid we left, we were seated as soon as we arrived and left after 2 hrs later only eating 2 courses, as we walked out we over heard a table of 4 moaning how horrid there meals were and after leaving one of our party members mentioned that they heard the chef moaning to someone "why did they but those fing commoners down the back end" we did have a well behaved 4 year old and it was a birthday party for the family so we did chat and have a little banter but there were only about 3 other tables in use and none in the room we were in. well needless to say we wont ever be going back again which is a shame as we had been using the restaurant for many years for each special occasion we had before it went down hill 10/11/2009 10:18:22 PM
