"Excited to return to one of our favourite pubs for dinner. It had been several years since we’d visited, and this evening was a little special to treat a very good friend. For mains I ordered scampi, chips and peas. First of all when you order scampi you would expect to receive scampi but no I did not. What was on my plate was tasteless prawns in bread crumbs. To top that, there were only eight of them with a plate three quarters covered in pale yellow chips, and a small bowl of peas. That for £17.00 did not go down well. My friend ordered, salmon filet with sweet chilli sauce, rice and Pak Choi. The rice and Pak Choi were stone cold. The salmon was nice. My friend struggled to enjoy her meal and being typically English did not want to complain. I, however and Mediterranean and if the food is no good then I will politly say something. I informed the waitress that the rice and Pak Choi were cold, which she kindly took back to the chef only to return it several minutes later steaming hot with the fish now completely dried out. I informed her that I was not happy to be paying for scampi only to have prawns which were tasteless, hidden in thick breadcrumbs and not been informed that the scampi would be substituted by the chef and not have the decency to inform the customer. My only conclusion is that the chef couldn’t possibly tell the difference between prawns and scampi. No personal came to offer an explanation, let alone apologise. The two waitresses were lovely. Daylight robbery! Will not return or recommend."
