"I am gluten free and vegetarian so when I saw online that AppleYard did a veggie Sunday lunch it seemed the perfect place for a Father’s Day lunch. When we arrived it turns out that the veggie lunch is just the vegetables with no ‘main’ whereas on the website it said there was a cheesy polenta cake. Also they don’t do any veg gravy. So I agreed to have a plate of veg with a cream sauce that was supposed to go with another meal. When it arrived it was a plate of very undercooked roasted vegetables, the parsnips were undercooked and pale, the potatoes were floppy with no crispiness you expect with roast potatoes and generally it was an extremely disappointing plate of food. I sent it back saying I wasn’t willing to pay, and when the bill came they hadn’t charged us for my meal or wine but even the meat eaters weren’t that happy as their lamb was lovely but they had the same floppy veg. It’s a shame as we went before the pandemic and it was lovely but it’s certainly not up to scratch now."
