"We’ve eaten at the crooked chimney many times over the years with mixed experiences. It’s a nice pub and very convenient for stopping off after a country walk with the dog but I don’t think I will be organising a ‘special occasion’ meal there again in a hurry. We went for Father’s Day and there was a fixed 3 course menu, which had a good choice. The problem wasn’t the food it was getting it! We were there late afternoon and it wasn’t busy but every course seemed to rake an age to arrive. That said when the roasts finally did arrive they were very nice. I guess they must just have a real staffing issue in the kitchen and can’t get the food out quick enough. After 2 courses taking an hour and half to complete and then waiting over 1/2 an hour for our desserts we decided to call it a day! The staff were very apologetic and gave us a reduced rate as we had only had 2 courses and a discount but it was a real shame. We noticed on our way out they were doing food deliveries and wondered whether this was part of the problem concentrating on delivering meals rather than their restaurant customers?! Anyway it won’t deter us popping in when out walking but not for a preplanned meal out."

One of the good things about working outside of London is that you get to visit all sorts of places you wouldn't normally go to. View menu

The service was very poor because the staff were not trained properly It is not so much their fault as the managements as always
John
The qood quality of service was apparent, the service was acceptable but could have been faster. Ambiance was uplifting and pleasant. I will definately return

Our server was new, so a bit slow and didnt seem to know the menu or how to use the card machine. The other staff were good though and overall it was a nice visit. View menu

The food was fine, but the lack of a real person on the end of the phone was not. If you have any queries, they will not be answered, so any dietary requirements cannot be addressed until you are there.

I had chicken bacon salad. The chicken was so tough I could have soled my shoe with it. I had a real job cutting it. The table was too high which made cutting the chicken even harder my elbows were almost as high as my shoulders. The pesto on the ciabatta was ‘orrible and made the bread soggy. The “bacon” wasn’t bacon and was almost non existent. I gave three stars for the salad veg and dressing, although it could have done with more dressing. I wish I’d had a pizza now. BUT the ambience was very good apart from the child on the table behind which was screaming so loudly we couldn’t hear each other speaking (but kids will be kids eh! No problem with that). Sorry but this is my honest opinion...
