"Disappointing... On arrival, we were told that we 'd have to be in the function room... reading elsewhere, it seems that on line booking doesn 't actually go through to the pub (or be actioned , so no restaurant tables are allocated. Seems like the system is broken from the outset. However, what followed was almost comical 8pm on a Saturday, and they 'd 'run out ' of prawns for the surf 'n 'turf... that 's OK, we ordered steaks x 4, confirming whether we wanted skinny fries or chunky chips and all was good. Only it wasn 't... they 'd run out of steaks and only had one left! So we reordered, again going through the scenario of skinny chips vs chunky chips and I 'd asked to swap the cheese on a burger to stilton. 'Oh, that sounds amazing ' said the waitress, 'but he may want to charge you more '. For a swap..? OK, go for it... Food arrives despite the order taking (which was on the bill when it arrived later , we 'd all got skinny fries, irrespective of earlier choices... oh, and no substitution of the cheese. Ordering desserts, one of the party asked for crumble... 'Custard or ice cream with that? ' 'Can I have both possibly? ' We fell around... ah, that 'll be extra!! Of course not despite the waitress asking for it (and, once again, we 'd have understood if there was a small charge... , it turned up with just custard and no comment apology explanation. It 's a shame the service is willing and friendly, but clearly the chef management have a lot to learn about offering hospitality and a welcome that goes above and beyond the transactional relationship of 'here 's your menu...
