"Absolutely abysmal experience. Creaky floorboards and a narrow gloomy staircase leading up to the restaurant. Not to mention the fact that the crappers were right beside the dine in area so the stench of logs was pungent throughout the whole joint, completely ruining the entire atmosphere. Come the drinks, My vodka n' Coke had about 2ml of vodka in it. At first I didn't even think they'd added any in, genuinly just absurdly shocking amounts of vodka being added in. Next, the food, we'd ordered 3 plates which took 53 MINUTES TO ARRIVE and in that time we'd witnessed 5 other tables of people arrive AND recieve their food before us. My eventual steak was cooked medium well even though id asked for RARE!!! which i think was done to hide the fact that it was both frozen and showed signs of rotting as it tasted like meat flavoured sand paper. The caustic meat had riddled me with severe food poisoning which then lead to crohns disease. What I had to accommodate my rotting cow arse was half a bag of brids eye frozen peas dumped on the side coming straight from the microwave with a pool of defrosted ice to go underneath it, 4 frozen garlic mushrooms, 2 half decent onion rings and just to rub salt in the wound, 2 mouldy rings. The chips were okay but all in all, come to Contented Sole if you want to test your immune system against corrosive decomposing food"

"Terrible service from all but one member of staff at the tavern today. A group of us arrived with our children after booking a table for 8, we were greeted well and led to a table, my friend was told to park her buggy close by as no one else was booked in to sit near us so we had space, great! More friends decided to join us last minute which we didn’t think would be an issue given the entire restaurants was empty bar one other table. Another women walked over and was beyond rude and abrupt, stating there was no room for the extra 2 adults and 2 children completely put out by another pram? “These tables are all booked out”… eventually it was okay and the setting was “ re-organised and bookings moved” we stayed for food which was regrettable as we all felt very unwelcome. The entire time we were there not one person entered to eat. Food wasn’t great and children’s menu poor to be honest but the service made it even worse. On finishing a friend asked at the bar to pay for what she had eaten and drank.. “ what you are all splitting the bill, great I don’t have patience for this” and walked off for another member of staff to complete the transaction. As regular visitors as we are local to the area visiting the tavern and play park as well as attending several of the “family events” recently ran through the park I can’t express how disappointed I am. This is meant to be a family friendly place and I will not be returning. Shocking service and customer service- no wonder it’s dead"
