Having tried the Fox a week before, we popped in to the Thatched House for a drink some days later...fairly busy and it seems from their rolling advert that there are quite a few special evenings eg quiz nights, music etc etc...check the website...sounded possibly interesting
Anyway we booked for dinner the following week - a mixed bag
What was good - my partner said the fish & chips were superb and that my onion rings which she snaffled (the lot, just saying!), were the best she's ever had. The service was attentive but not pushy; the wait between courses was reasonable as were the portion sizes and prices
But, there's a but. I chose the chilli burger...the menu made it sound really good, but that was not reality...the first bite was an eye-opener shock...the hot chilli jam, while spicy (I have to say I'm not sure about that), and spread thickly on the bottom bun, was straight from the fridge and stone cold, thus inedible - compare & contrast with the burger. Hmm another issue...the burger was seriously over processed so that rather than solidly formed pressed meat, it was verging on a more over minced-like soft patty. Ok but not something to return for. Shame
As for the rouges (both Malbec and Merlot), they were of the don't spill it on the carpet variety
A return is not envisaged soon, but if we do, we know what to avoid read more
