"We had to walk through the lovely old pub full of atmosphere to the beautifully decorated dining room which could have been any stylish restaurant in the country apart from the terrible 1980s art on the walls and zero atmosphere. We were then given the bar menus to choose from which had no starters, so it was fish and chips or pies all round, good traditional pub food without feeling we were in an historic pub. Yet the branded pots on our plates containing small quantities of mushy peas and condiments made it very hard to add them to the meal. By contrast the dessert menu was extensive and the portions generous. The service was polite and efficient. Several of us felt we would rather have ordered what we saw at home on the restuarant menu that was explained away as a problem with not being able to take it down off the website."
