"after we had visited the fish eels for a lunch week during the summer and a nice time we had thrilled to take friends again. how disappointed we were. we went on a Saturday night, expected it really busy and were surprised to find the place quite empty. we sat very fast and drinks brought by and that was the fastest service we had all night. do not misunderstand me, the serving staff were really friendly and tried their best, but I think they always forget about us how to go and ask for objects a few times. we ordered the mezze of the Sharing plates and asked for mezze for 4. When this arrived, it was a Sharing plate for 2, which the waitress thought we would share between 4! so another one was ordered quickly, but this took at least 10 minutes to get out, ok this shows it is fresh made, so can not really complain that, but the warm pittas and objects on the other plate ran cold while we waited for the other. Once we finished our ancestors, the waitress arrived to delete the tellers that told us our nets were ready and asked if we wanted to stop them. not to desire food that must be kept more than likely warm, we said to bring it out directly. the chips were cold and had to be returned. the sweet thing that came with him was just about warm. I ordered king linguine from the special menu and when this arrived the portion size was tiny, I asked if it was an initial size that should be said that this was the normal size. the waitress said she would ask if something could be done, and my partner offered to pay for each extra if that was the problem. to be fair, they have the part above and no additional fees. when our desserts finally arrived (we had to remind them that we were still there) the eton mess was exactly what a chaos no fruits as indicated in the menu! we received free coffee as an excuse for the bad meal. unfortunately we will not return."

"I mistakenly, booked dinner for 3 consecutive nights here. On day 1, it was clear this was a mistake. The pub is dated and poorly maintained. We had a good sized table (There were 4 in our party), which accommodated 2 wheelchairs in addition to able bodied users. From there it went rapidly down hill. Our waitress had a terrible BO problem, possibly due to working long hours without a break. All of our first choice meals were either no longer available, off or out of stock. So, we all had to change to other options. Two had the platter, and 2 the Lobster and Prawn Cocktail. The lobster had very little flavor. The platter also had cold peppers with cheese (We believed it should have been warm). The same thing happened with the mains. So two ended up with steaks, and two had the Hunters chicken. Unremarkable, by this time, the Hunters chicken, which should have had bacon, was instead served with thick gammon slices. The two steaks were not anything like they should have been. Mine was meant to be medium and was burnt to a cinder. The other was mean to be well done and was in a similar state, but with large lumps of gristle and fat. By this time on two had the desert, one was eaton mess or something akin to that. The other was a cheesecake. There were no problem with either desert. With a number of drinks, this menu cost £115!!. Despite all these issues. The next day, luckily, we cancelled, because we were traveling and couldn't get back in time. That would have been my birthday dinner. Valentines can best be described as a total disappointment, except for Jade, our waitress. She did TRY her best, in an otherwise awful night."
