"We visited The Chum in October for the first time in a long time (previous visits had been disappointing). It all started so well, nice atmosphere, lots of families in but it wasn 't packed. Hubby had fish and chips and I had the smoked haddock with cheese topping and a portion of chips. Food was really very nice I would have still been hungry if I hadn 't ordered the chips though. Our one issue was that part way through our meal we wanted to order some more drinks. Asked the waitress and were told we had to order at the bar. What???? Who wants to get up part way through a meal to order drinks for goodness sake? It wasn 't over busy the night we went but how on earth would this system work when it is busy with queues at the bar to order drinks and/or to order food? Can you imagine a group of people on a busy night mid way through their meals being expected to go to the bar to get more drinks. Absolutely ridiculous. So we didn 't get more drinks, we didn 't order the pudding that we had intended on having, we came home and opened a bottle of wine instead. We didn 't leave a service tip as other than the food being delivered to our table there wasn 't any other 'service '. Was this a 'one off ' or is the norm now? If so, we won 't be coming back I 'm afraid and in theory this is our local pub that we should be visiting regularly. Very disappointed."
