"The food was disappointing and expensive and the service pretty much non existent. When we arrived the staff member who was greeting people was on the phone. She eventually looked up at us but didn 't acknowledge us or smile. We decided to go and use the bathroom and then come back. She was either still on the phone or on another call. Again, she didn 't acknowledge us. Another server came and stood there for a minute or so, and then acknowledged us and said she 'd take us through. Which she did in silence. My friend had a question about the wine when our server came to take our drinks order she just wanted to know if either of the rosé wines were similar to a blush. The server replied We only have two rosés , and that was that. No help, no saying she 'd go and find out. We were a little shocked at the prices of the food £19 for fish and chips, and £22 for a dry, overcooked chicken schnitzel. We contemplated leaving, but didn 't want to be rude. We were part way through our mains when we noticed another customer taking a photo of something on the wall. It was a specials board. Nobody had told us there were specials, which we probably would have chosen had we realised there were some. When it came to pay the bill, we chose on the card reader not to add a tip. Our server had barely uttered a word to us, had been unhelpful with the wine, and hadn 't told us about the specials. When we chose the no tip option she gave us a disgusted look and pretty much tutted!!"

"Well at least we can laugh about it now…not the special night we were expecting for our daughters 18th. The warning signs were there with the non-matching cutlery and the spelling mistakes on the menu, Halloumi fires, ****** merry or peppercom sauce anyone? The waiter took my beer order and disappeared leaving the rest of my family staring aghast and thirsty as he walked off. My daughter was looking forward to her first legal drink, a cocktail, unfortunately when it came there were a few ants in the drink, maybe off the mint leaves. Obviously we asked then to make a new cocktail. Things went from bad to worse….the replacement cocktail again had a few ants crawling in it, back it went, after ordering Pork Belly Bites starters, the waiter returned 5 minutes later to say unfortunately there were none left, and the two steaks we ordered medium rare tried to crawl off the plates as soon as they arrived, not sure they even said hello to the grill. The steaks were taken off to be cooked properly whilst the others ate their duck, which was fine. The steaks came back fine, albeit three of us had finished. At least the waiter gave the kids a laugh hitting his head on the low wooden beam, not once but three times, perhaps the best value for money of the night. Things sometimes don’t go well, I offered 50% which was accepted with apology and no argument, fair enough, 3 stars for effort!"
