"Visited for lunch. The menu looked promising however unfortunately that promise was unfulfilled. I ordered Nachos for a shared starter and a Chicken ‘Sizzler’(otherwise known as Fajitas). Possibly two of the easiest dishes to prepare that have ever found their way onto a pub menu. Bad choice I’m not sure how it is possible to get nachos wrong but they managed it here. Perhaps it was the way that the chips, cheese AND the Salsa were thrown together and then nuked, I suspect in a microwave but possibly they did use the oven. Result soggy chips and a sloppy mess served without any Guacomole because they had run out but the kitchen did not tell the server so no apology. Next the Chicken Sizzler. Now I’m not a chef but I know this dish is normally cooked by griddling the chopped veg until they are just cooked, sometimes slightly charred. I’m not sure the veg in this dish ever went anywhere near a griddle or similar. My guess is that the was simply heated in a microwave and then topped with microwaved chicken pieces that had been supplied pre cooked complete with ‘fake’ char grill lines. To be fair the chicken was OK but the veg was limp, tasteless and was served swimming in an oily, watery liquid (see photo). How is it possible to make such a mess of what is a simple dish? I was later told that the peppers are supplied pre sliced; maybe knives are not allowed in that kitchen, I suspect the disgusting liquid they were served in was in the plastic bag they were delivered in. Quite frankly the Nachos and the Sizzler were the worst examples of these dishes I have ever been served with. My Mum’s scampi and chips looked OK but the Scampi was absolutely scolding inside .. I suspect the good old microwave may have been pushed into action again. Good points, at least it was open on a Monday lunchtime, my Latte was OK, and the staff were all friendly. We won’t however be going back."

We went for curry night. Don't expect top tier curry but for the price it's pretty solid. I would steer clear of the vegetable curry if I were you and go with the korma or tikka Tuesday is curry day FYI Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
