"I reserved a table for my husband and myself, as i was celebrating my birthday on the past 29th.December 2023. I wanted to eat somwhere special where i thought the food would be good. My husband and i had been previously invited by my cousin and her husband to the Wheatsheaf for lunch last September 2023. It was a saturday and the Wheatsheaf was packed. I think it might have been a bank holiday weekend. We could not get a table, but were told we might get some seats close to the bar, and we would have to order the food ourselves, which we did. We were amazed at how quickly we got our food and it was excellent !!! My husband is difficult to cater for as he has food allergies. I had a ribeye steak cooked to perfection medium rare and my husband had sirloin steak cooked to perfection very well done . My husband even congratulated the chef. I was really looking forward to my birthday evening meal, but to my dismay, it wasn't to be. We were taken to a table with no lighting, so i could not read the menu properly. We were quickly moved to a better table after asking. Another two couples came in after us and both got served quickly and they left before us. We were still waiting for an hour to be served, and it wasn't even busy !!! When it finally came, my meal was almost cold sirloin steak with king prawns in batter . I admit the prawns were nice as they were hot.I had to send the steak and chips back to be warmed up, but when it came back the sirloin steak was chewy and i did not enjoy it at all. I was not even asked how i would like my steak. We both noticed that the floor was dirty with spilt food and a table that had not been cleared up. Waiters just walked over it and ignored the table. My birthday was marred by this experience. Before all this, i was even thinking about coming back again to try something else on the menu, but i don't think i will be doing now. We were given a 20% discount as an apology for the wait, but it did not make up for the bad service and the quality of my meal."
