Went here for Sunday lunch with my family. It looked promising from the exterior, nice country pub with a kitchen garden. However, I was disappointed when I walked into the dining area, which had flies circling around and some of the chairs had seen much better days. However, the starter instilled a little faith. I had the salt baked beetroot with goats curd. It was very tasty. Others had the soup of the day, which was French onion. However, it seemed to lack a little something and just tasted of sugar and Dijon mustard, but was nice all the same.
For main I had the beef roast and it was a sorry state. The beef was tasty so were the broccoli and cabbage. The potatoes were horrid. They tasted as though they'd been cooked in the morning and kept warm under a Luke warm light for several hours. They were tough and dry and had no taste. The Yorkshire pudding was also a disappointment, lacking in flavour other than the taste of old oil. The carrots were shrivelled within an inch of their lives and the parsnip had suffered the same fate as the potatoes. Luckily I had some gravy to drown it in.
Definitely overpriced for what it was.
The staff were loud and not very attentive. read more
