"What a most unpleasant experience eating here. This is such a shame as it was our 4th time previously staying here and every time it has been fabulous food, service, accommodation. It seems to have new ownership and having being closed for a while has opened to very little staff serving the worst food I have ever been given. Firstly we ordered a bottle of Prosecco, it arrived, already opened with about 1/3rd gone from the bottle. This was quickly resolved. There was only one other table in the bar with us, yet once we ordered our food we waited about an hour. During this time we were told the ‘chef’ had to restart our order and we we offered a bowl of nuts. We ordered 3 cod and chips and 1 belly pork. When our food eventually arrived, I cut through my fish, which was still frozen and oozing with water. This could have made one of our party seriously Ill. the belly pork was bland, no colour, with a few veg that were limp to say the least. We told the manager, who was only on his first week of working there, who quickly took the food and asked if we wanted to eat anything else. We chose not to considering the poor quality food we were given. We did however decide to have a cheeseboard to share as we were so hungry. This arrived, with no crackers and one slice of stale bread. Again, inedible. We went to our room hoping that breakfast would be better. This in fact was just as bad. The black pudding was rock hard and the rest of the food Luke warm. We didn’t eat it and left straight away. I have been waiting to hear back from the owners with regards to an email I sent but after a week, am still waiting for a response! I will not go back here again which is such a shame! Avoid if you want to eat some nice food!"

"that was a good pub restaurant before. there seems to be a bad retention and a high turnover of employees who think about management. the steak I ordered was chewing and full gristle. I said the waitress politely that she would get the manager/Koch/Barman out of the kitchen. gary, the above mentioned helicopter of all trades, seems to do the work of all, instead of managing that he has not arrived. a few minutes later the waitress asked if we would like more drinks. I explained that I wanted to solve the problem first with my meal and she went back to the kitchen. finally gary arrived and in a very condesctive way explained that rib auge steak has some fat in it. I am aware of the sibling that gives taste, but not gristle and steak as hard as it is like chewing leather. in no phase I offered a replacement or another option, but after a waiting period of minutes since my complaining and the sight of cold gristle before me I was no longer hungry anyway. gary's attitude was risible. he has no customer service skills and did not make any excuse or offer of any kind to put it right. he simply produced a bill for the whole meal (minus the steak), which was wrong anyway, as there was an additional glass wee on it. he changed this with a pencil entry and stood above the table while we paid. we took family members to this pub and its attitude, lack of civil society and general ignorance made this a very unpleasant experience. we will never visit the dog again, a once excellent pub restaurant ruined by its bad administration and high turnover of unfortunate and overworked employees."
