"Booked table for 7pm and looking forward to a lovely home cooked meal. My partner had pork and I decided to have the lamb carvery. Once sat with our meal I started with the roast potatoes which were very Luke warm and had gone rubbery due to them being left standing for some time and didn’t taste that good either. I asked my partner to try his and his were the same, I moved on to veg which hey you guessed luke warm. So I took it downstairs and said the meal was luke warm. I was asked if I wanted a fresh plate with vegetables but really at this point I’d lost my appetite. If I wanted cold/luke warm food I’d have chosen a salad. One of the waitresses came back up to our table and I was told that the chef had he checked the temperature of the food on the plate I had returned and said it was within the temperature guideline for food service. Sorry but I think you need a new food thermometer or check your eye sight. My partner ate his although Luke warm as he’d been out all day driving was hungry. When we went down to pay the same waitress sorted our bill out, making a big deal she hadn’t charged me for the lamb carvery, I thanked her very much and said it was so kind as not to have charged (I hadn’t eaten anything apart from half a roast potato and a slice of carrot) so customer service I’d give 10/10. We weren’t offered any other refund which for this drops the customer service dropped to 3/10. I wouldn’t recommend this place, the setting is pleasant, service could have been better and there are no prices on the menus so go with an open pocket. I would recommend you take a thermometer with you as you don’t want a Dickie Tummy from eating contaminated food."

"At 14th of October, I, my husband and two children went there for dinner at 8pm. We ordered starters and main courses. We ordered mussel, chorizo and garlic prawn, the 7 years old ordered kid meal. The starter is very enjoyable. We are looking forward to our main course. We ordered 2 steaks and 1 cod fish and chips. When the steak on the table, my 13 year’s old complained how smelly the meat was. My husband steak was ok. I taste my daughter’s steak, it’s taste like rotten meat, I have mentioned this to one of the staff, the staff said she can change a fresh one for us. We said no, because its was too late, the children was tired. We don’t want to wait longer for the steak. My husband said to the waitress that he will eat it, but he can’t eat it, it’s too smelly. We just left it. The bill was £120. From my memory the steak cost £29. I think that the restaurant should check their ingredients before they serve customers, especially children, how come we ordered 2 steaks, my husband one taste ok, my daughter’s steak tastes rotten, smelly. Is that because she is a child, and they thought they could get away with serving her rotten food. After we paid, we walk out the restaurant, all of us said we shouldn’t come to this restaurant again. We were very disappointed. We didn’t complained when we was in the restaurant, because we don’t normally complain, however I don’t feel happy about it, I think the owner should know about this. And other customers should know our experience. When they go to this restaurant they should more careful with what their children eat."
