"This restaurant is a terrible place to eat. We did not have a reservation and were seated at tables near the bar. We waited almost 20 minutes for our meals, which arrived lukewarm. The lady who served us seemed friendly, but the pub was scruffy and dated, with unprofessional staff. The chef, who appeared to be foreign, came out of the kitchen before our meal, swearing and complaining about his colleagues instead of focusing on our food. This may explain why our meals were cold and bland. As someone who has worked in catering for 17 years in similar and higher-rated establishments, I was appalled by this unprofessional behavior in front of customers. My order was loaded with cinnamon and star anise, making me question if anyone there knew how to make authentic barbecue sauce. The carpets felt sticky and the clientele consisted mostly of loud, intoxicated salesmen in the middle of the day. The atmosphere was dark and uninviting. We will not be returning to this restaurant, as it left a very negative impression."
