"We went for a birthday meal on the weekend and it's had a facelift since I was there years ago, and inside is very cozy. We ordered rib-eye steaks, a pie and I had the lamb shank. The table next to us got served first and sent their food back, I saw it as it was arriving but don't like to point out bad things about others food, but the chips were so overdone, (not sure about anything else on the plate) and yep they got sent back, so the chef had to re-do their meal which delayed ours and even though he'd been pulled for overdone chips ours were then borderline when they came. My lamb shank came with mint gravy, unfortunately, it didn't come separate so I had a lamb meal where all I could taste was mint gravy as it overpowered the lamb and the lamb was certainly over too. By the time we left another table had their food and the chef had gone back to his old ways with their chips as well, it looks like they are being cooked twice they were that overdone. Service was fine, felt sorry for the girl having to deal with basic errors from the kitchen, but she handled it very well. One way around it is to order mashed or jacket potatoes I suppose, so not a great 1st impression food-wise, though I'd definitely go back for a drink as it's a nice pub and shows all the sport."
