"I have been to this restaurant for the second time in a couple of months and hesitated to write a review after my first visit, hoping it was just a one-time bad experience. We had our work Christmas lunch here and although it was a budget-friendly meal, it was not satisfactory. The starters were all pleasant and the pie I had was delicious, I would recommend it. However, the cranberry sauce on the pate should have been served on the side as some people do not enjoy it, preventing my colleague from enjoying the starter. The Yorkshire puddings were all burnt except for one, as were all the pigs in blankets. I seriously question the chef's skills if they thought it was acceptable to send out burnt food. The replacement Yorkshire puddings had a strange chemical taste, possibly indicating that the pans they were cooked in were not clean. The mashed potatoes were cold and the pureed cauliflower made for an unusual baby food-like side dish. The service was improved compared to our last visit, though I felt sorry for them having to deal with all the complaints. I was also disappointed to see a Chihuahua roaming around the restaurant, which began chewing on my clothing. If you are going to allow dogs in your establishment, please keep them on a leash."
