"I did not want to have to write this review. I actually phoned the Alford Arms and spoke to someone about our disappointing experience and especially with regard to the flies. I was told someone would get back to me on Monday but sadly no...one did. We were eating indoors and yet there were flies (large fat black ones) buzzing around our table the whole time. I was constantly having to flap them away! This should not happen during any meal anywhere! I should stress that this was not during the recent heatwave but on a fairly normal July day. On the phone I was told that the flies were because they were near a farm. If they know they have a problem then they need to do something about it! The food was disappointing too. The bubble and squeak in my starter was very bland and I needed to add salt and pepper, something the chef had clearly overlooked. My husband's beef ragout was also lacking in flavour. At the time we did not complain about the food or the flies as I had already sent back a glass of wine and I did not want them to think of us as awkward customers. We have eaten here in the distant past and had a very good experience but regret to say we won't be eating here again."
