"Outrageous expensive Sandwich and fries. Ordered as per request from QR code on the table. I ordered tomato and cheese with fries and a pint of Camden. What arrives was a very sorrowful thin granary sandwich with what looked liked ready made chive and cheese mush. Then to be told the QR code was wrong for this pub and they guessed , did it have Camden so offered Peroni. My wife had fish fingers on Brioche with chips in included at £10.95 far more value than the miserable wrong sandwich that was supplied at £8.45 plus fries at £3.95. The more I write the more angrier I find myself. The staff apologised that it was the system. As one has already paid via the QR code, you have already paid your money before seeing the food. Absolute miserable, far better value down the road at the riverside cafe in Bensons, much better place and food value excellent. This is an outrageous ripoff for this sandwich. I should also add that the Bill you are invoiced by Email doesn’t add up. It’s beyond me no matter how I interpret the vat on drinks and food which were both matched as 20%. Avoid there are far better value places. Maybe if my dissatisfaction at the time that I shared with the waiters was not so care freely ignored and unaddressed I could have been placated. That being said if the right sandwich had turned up it probably would have been woefully miserable . Food drinks: Outrageous expensive Sandwich and fries.

"We went for a 60th birthday Sunday lunch and while staying at a local farm for the weekend and we were rather disappointed. We had already called to pre-book as we have 2 dogs and an 18month old. We were shown to a small table where we really struggled to find somewhere for the dogs to lay and then had to wedge the highchair in too! The staff made no effort to apologise for the space or see if we had enough room. Just told us we may need to shove in a bit more if she needed the table behind us. We usually find pubs put us in a little area or nook if we pre-book so we feel much less awkward! We then all had roast at £24pp which came up very fast! Great news for us as we had the little one with us but it turned out it was probably because it had been sat there for ages. Potatoes and Yorkshires were so hard to cut as they had been sat there for so long and the meat was chewy! I had an espresso martini which was also quite bitter and very average (I’d rather have had wine) and we had a dirty water glass that we had to ask to be changed. The desserts were ok and the cookie dough was actually very nice although it was £10 a go! Due to the nature of the building our table was on a slant and the chairs were all wobbly on the tiled floor which made the whole meal quite uncomfortable. The waitress was very friendly and gave us good service but we were disappointed that we had chosen her for our lunch and won’t be going back!"
