"I have been unsure whether to post this review because it was a personal experience and not the quality of the food as such. We were a large table of 14 adults and had chosen our starters and mains. I chose the the tofu starter followed by a mock duck dish. Starter was lovely and tasty. When the mains came out I was given my dish with the server telling me it was mock duck. Everyone else was receiving their meals and we all started eating. After approximately maybe 20 minutes the waitress came over and said she was sorry but I had been given the real duck and NOT the mock duck! I have not eaten meat for over 33 years, since I was 13, so this was extremely upsetting and shocking to me. I had eaten over half of this meal!! They were very apologetic but this should never have happened, or even been possible to happen in the first place! As I said I haven’t eaten meat in so long I had no real recollection of the taste or texture (I ate very little meat before giving it up for vegetarianism) so I assumed I was eating a plant based mock duck meal. I have to admit I was not keen on what I was eating but did not for a second think I had been given a meat meal, I just thought it wasn’t something I’d not have again. This was genuinely really upsetting and I’m still shocked at how it could even happen. I was not told if it was a chef error or server error but I sincerely hope it wasn’t a kitchen error as I would hope they strongly follow allergy processes within the kitchen which would mean separate utensils, pans and preparation areas as well as colour coded handles etc A very small but easy thing to do would be to serve all vegetarian/vegan dishes on different shaped plates as I’ve seen in other restaurants. For example, if all meals are served on round white plates it would be an option to serve vegetarian dishes on square white plates to avoid confusion from the kitchen to serving staff"

"Called in for a 'bite to eat ' Tues 2nd April 2019. Just a note they do not do food on Mondays. The tables now have mats in place and printed menus on the tables. The menu has also been altered. We only wanted a panini or sandwich, but they do hot meals which are nicely cooked and tasty. I had Tuna, Mayo, and tomato panini, 1) had fish finger sandwich and 1) bacon brie panini. The paninis have changed from a baguette type to a panini. (which is pointed out on the menu that it has been changed) It was explained to us that they have done this. I was expecting a smaller type as each time we visit I ask for 1/2 a panini because they are so filling. When it arrived it was as big as the previous full one. This place seems well supported and justly so. The staff who are always cheerful and very obliging. They chat to their customers and make each person feel so welcome . They do breakfasts, light lunches i.e. lasagne, cottage pies, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, paninis, cakes and scones etc., This new menu seems to have more choices and also extended times for serving the meals, I think they finish approx 3 pm, although I 'm not sure on this. Prices are very reasonable and meals nicely presented. There is a bar if you would like a pint with your meal or just visiting for coffees and drinks. It really is worth coming as we quite often do now. We have never been disappointed with our meals, whether just a sandwich or a nice home cooked warm meal. The staff certainly make this place even better to come to. If you visit Rolleston at any time it 's worth a visit here. I will be returning again very soon."
