"Popped in for lunch with my wife and daughter on Saturday. Oh dear, what a dreadful mistake! It 's been ages since we came here, but I had always been a fan of all Vintage Inns but now I would think twice about any, and certainly won 't be back to the Bay Horse.After waiting ages for the food (about an hour and it wasn 't busy at all), we were served;Rump Steak Sandwich the steak was cold, pea shoot garnish was withered and drying up, looking like a pile of weeds after a day 's gardening. The steak was tough and chewy not overcooked just poor quality. The chips were hot, suggesting to me that they had somehow forgot them and that the sandwich had gone cold whilst they cooked the chips. Incidentally, we had wanted chunky chips but were only offered chips or salad so ended up with skinny fries.Fish Finger Sandwich again, the fish goujons were cold and the garnish was, well, dead! In addition, the goujons were really oily suggesting the fryer was not hot enough when they were cooked, but the chips were hot.Kids pasta a very small and boring portion of penne pasta with a bit of tomato sauce. The garlic flatbread was OK but overall this was not a suitable dish for an 8 year old, and very poor value at £5.We complained about the sandwiches being cold and the response was underwhelming. Did we want something else? We were assured that the sandwiches had come straight from the kitchen and hadn 't been sitting around blatantly untrue!Having wasted an hour and a half, and with a hungry (but patient) 8 year old to keep happy, we were not in a position to walk out let alone order again, so we finished our meal and when we went to pay received no apology.Looking around at the décor, this pub had gone from shabby chic to just shabby Afterwards my wife suffered from the oily food and felt queasy for what was left of our afternoon. In hindsight we would have received better food and service in the restaurant next door McDonalds! (and I am not a fan of that place)Really shocked..."
