"This is not my first time reviewing this establishment, but it may very well be my last. I have always considered Stokeley Farm Shop and Tap House to be a enjoyable spot for dining and drinking, but my recent visit following the coronation was a letdown. Despite advertising a special event for the coronation weekend, there were hardly any decorations or acknowledgment of the occasion. No one, including the staff, had dressed up, and the food (aside from the ribs) was underwhelming. The service was simply unsatisfactory. My husband had to fetch our drinks from the bar himself, and it took an almost an hour for our meals to be served - a rack of ribs and fries for him, and half a lobster for me. The ribs were tasty, but the lobster was disappointingly small and came with a lackluster salad that lacked flavor. The fries were unremarkable - I was expecting more from a chef known for their skill. We voiced our concerns about the service and were offered a free drink, which we declined. Despite not being overly busy, other diners left before us due to the lengthy wait. I have previously mentioned the need for effective management at this establishment, and that sentiment remains. While it may see a surge in tourists in the upcoming months, it is us locals who sustain these businesses once the tourists have gone."
