"I visited The Griffin Inn today with 8 of my family to celebrate my mother 's 96th birthday with lunch out. My sister and mother had visited the previous week and were served nice food in the bar area. However, the food today was awful. The batter on the fish and onion rings was flacid and undercooked, my husbands brunch was one overcooked sausage, one rasher of bacon, one half of raw tomato, two small hash browns, one hard fried egg and a lake of baked beans. With it were two slices of white sliced bread spread with, what was said to be butter, but was a pale magarine colour. My husband asked why it wasn 't toast and was told other.people prefer bread, with no offer to toast it. My sausage and mash was two re-cooked sausages which were poor quality on a bed of undercooked mash complete with lumps. The onion gravey was gloopy and a packet mix and had never seen an actual onion. Our friend chose the curry, rice and naan from the menu but was served a garlick naan, which she could not eat. The curry portion was also very small. The two burger meals were OK but the skin on fries needed further cooking. Two of our party were lucky.enough to order scampi with fat chips and had a good portion of simple food. All the food came out with delays so we didn 't eat together as a group. As it was such a special birthday I did not complain until my mum had left. I spoke to the waitress who apologised but made no offer to speak to a manager or to refund any monies. I asked to talk to the chef who had gone home. This was less than an hour after we had eaten. The after service was poor, but the food was a disgrace. I am left never wanting to visit again. As we exited we saw the sign for Fine Dining displayed, which was ironic. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"
