"Starter was bland and tasteless.Absolutely no flavour for smoked salmon patè at all. Toast was cremated. I 'm puzzled why the kitchen or the waitress presenting the food felt it was acceptable to serve it. Had to ask for an edible replacement when a member of staff passed by.. eventually.. as no-one asked if things were ok. It 's not like they were busy as in the hour and a half we were there no other guests were present. Main was ok. Asked for a medium glass of wine they sent and charged a large glass. When we asked for the bill we had been charged for an adult meal for what we thought would be a child 's meal. When we queried the bill we were told we should have asked for a children 's roast, although that was actually offered on the menu and the fact that one guest was an 8 year old I didn 't realise it was necessary to state the obvious, which the lady pointed out.. that apparently we should have specified. We were made to feel uncomfortable and awkward and were obviously the topic of conversation with the staff that could be overheard from the kitchen. It was handled very badly. As a result they deducted a glass of wine and waived the optional service charge which for poor service we had already declined to pay. Too little too late I 'm afraid. If the issues had been dealt with in a polite or amenable manner in the first place we would have maybe reconsidered but the attitude was far from professional and infact unnecessary. Decor was nice but that was about it! Definitely will not be returning or recommending! Prefer the smugglers personally which is practically next door!"

"You are unable to sit at your table and order food from a menu. Instead you have to stare at a large blackboard then order at the bar so if you ask for a description of what something is don't fancy it, you then have to go back to the board again. I had the Kentish Blue Salad which sounded very nice. It was actually a bit strange. Both hot cold lettuce with crumb sized bits of blue cheese walnut, but as well as mixing hot cold lettuce (this should never happen) there were also 2 quartered pieces of very crisp apple but this too was hot as it been put on a griddle but still as crisp as an uncooked Granny Smith. My husband had pork fritters. Fritters are defined as slices covered in batter. What actually turned up were pea sized bits of pork deep fried in batter, so more like croutons really then only about 6 on the plate. We both had crab with a breadcrumb topping. The crab was all dark meat it ended up being quite sickly. It was also the temperature of molten lava I had to empty it out of it's dish onto the plate to try to cool it down a bit. Overall the service from the waitress was great but the rest of it was pretty awful. The food combinations were awful, it didn't taste very nice it was well overpriced. What was even more disappointing, was the website looks fantastic but none of the menus on the website were available just a pretty lack lustre blackboard choice. A classic case of trying too hard to be a bit different but going way over the edge."
