I totally agree. The pub itself is lovely and tastefully decorated, but the food is simply awful.
I've eaten there on four or five occasions as it is quite close to where I work. The last three occasions I've had the bangers and mash; the last time being yesterday. The mash was gloopy and stodgy and must have been previously frozen, if it wasn't instant mash! What they had advertised as 'red wine gravy' was nothing more than a coloured water, definitely no taste or a hint or red wine. The gloopy mash was swimming in this 'water' and at the end of the plate there was the perfunctory 'salad leaves'. By the time the food reached me they were soggy and limp from downing in the so called gravy. Has this chef never heard of vegetables?
And as for the sausages, very mediocre. All in all, at £9.50... a very expensive and unpleasant lunchm with no redeeming qualities except the decor, oh the manager is always quite friendly.
I'll not be returning for the food, nor will I advise anyone else to. - Report
