"I understand that this pub was recently purchased by a new owner. that was our first time here for many years. it's probably many years before we go back. Previously, it was a great meal here, but not anymore. Cannot...quite understand the good reviews. Before we came in, we could see from the parking lot what an extremely young chef appeared in the kitchen. now I would not take off the juvenile and would not let this fact be my views scrutinized if that had been half decent, but it was not. what was to follow clearly shows that there is absolutely zero experience in the entire provision of food or services. Normally, a place with a fairly short menu is a note that what they serve, they do well. the greeting when we came in was quite wrong and that made the ton for the evening. the atmosphere in the room was not great and as our first drinks pints) were poured, some spilled over the hand of the merciful and they continued to lick it before they brought to our table one of what seemed like a year old, with all the skill and social gnade of good one year old. we ordered a burger and chips and a fish and chips. they arrived right away. rather than too timely and again from one of the child-employed with no attempt of social interaction and she also had one to spill one of the pints, but nothing to get a cloth to wipe or even apologise the spill from the table. concerning the food itself, the chips were of the reheated frozen lumpy sorts and were as dry and quality sticks. the fish was tasteless, grayish meat and served on the head. the burger was barely cooked and heavy fat-coated. it looked anemic because it was obviously boiled to far too low temperature and had none of the beautiful one decent burger. it was not even decent quality meat. prices are not reflexion of the quality of food or service levels."
