"We’ve eaten at the crooked chimney many times over the years with mixed experiences. It’s a nice pub and very convenient for stopping off after a country walk with the dog but I don’t think I will be organising a ‘special occasion’ meal there again in a hurry. We went for Father’s Day and there was a fixed 3 course menu, which had a good choice. The problem wasn’t the food it was getting it! We were there late afternoon and it wasn’t busy but every course seemed to rake an age to arrive. That said when the roasts finally did arrive they were very nice. I guess they must just have a real staffing issue in the kitchen and can’t get the food out quick enough. After 2 courses taking an hour and half to complete and then waiting over 1/2 an hour for our desserts we decided to call it a day! The staff were very apologetic and gave us a reduced rate as we had only had 2 courses and a discount but it was a real shame. We noticed on our way out they were doing food deliveries and wondered whether this was part of the problem concentrating on delivering meals rather than their restaurant customers?! Anyway it won’t deter us popping in when out walking but not for a preplanned meal out."

One of the good things about working outside of London is that you get to visit all sorts of places you wouldn't normally go to. Voir le carte

The service was very poor because the staff were not trained properly It is not so much their fault as the managements as always

Our server was new, so a bit slow and didnt seem to know the menu or how to use the card machine. The other staff were good though and overall it was a nice visit. Voir le carte

The food was fine, but the lack of a real person on the end of the phone was not. If you have any queries, they will not be answered, so any dietary requirements cannot be addressed until you are there.

I had chicken bacon salad. The chicken was so tough I could have soled my shoe with it. I had a real job cutting it. The table was too high which made cutting the chicken even harder my elbows were almost as high as my shoulders. The pesto on the ciabatta was ‘orrible and made the bread soggy. The “bacon” wasn’t bacon and was almost non existent. I gave three stars for the salad veg and dressing, although it could have done with more dressing. I wish I’d had a pizza now. BUT the ambience was very good apart from the child on the table behind which was screaming so loudly we couldn’t hear each other speaking (but kids will be kids eh! No problem with that). Sorry but this is my honest opinion...

"A slightly bizarre experience we were welcomed warmly, taken to our table, and given a menu for pre dinner drinks. No food menus were brought. We ordered drinks, which arrived, but still no menus! So we asked for them. No wine list brought. So we asked for one. All rather odd. The starters were mixed a bland crab risotto, a rather vinegary tartare, an excellent parfait and a crispy egg which needed to be runnier, but was tasty, if too salty. The odd service continued: three of the four of us had finished do the waiter cleared our plates including the one of our friend who hadn’t finished, who was left holding a cracker in her hand! The mains were again mixed and generally over salty. The ravioli were excellent; the steak good but in a sauce which was heavy handed on the seasoning, the fish pleasant, again slightly salty and verging on the overcooked. We had chocolate soufflé for pudding generally well made and tasty, but again the service was odd an ice cream was pushed into it at the table by the waiter which caused a good amount of soufflé to fall inelegantly onto the serving plate; the cheese plate was an interesting but small selection of well kept cheese. Good petit fours (though we were surprised that one containing nuts was offered to us all despite one of us not eating nuts, which we had mentioned). So probably four stars over all, but only just. It’s good to see the restaurant open again but based on this experience, while it’s fine dining, it’s got some way to go to reach the standard of cooking I’m sure they’d like to aspire to."
