Brown Trout - Bloody Terrible
Avoid at all costs.
This restaurant has recently undergone a new change of management and a new chef. I used to go here with my family at least once a onth. I came here yesterday woth my parents, and boy was it shocking.
My father and I had a steak meal deal - good value for money, 2 sirloins and a free bottle of house wine. We both asked for it medium - half of mine was fat and my father took three times to get a medium, by which time I was finished (first came out roasted, secondly came out bloody raw). What is more, my mother had the rack of lamb, which wasn't a rack of lamb, but three minute lamb chops, all of which were not even cooked properly.
Furthermore, the menu is not worht looking at - very small with few choices other than fish, which my friend had (he had teh trout, which is what this pub restaurant prides itself on) and said it was not fresh whatsoever as it said on the menu - on the contrary, he said it was 'as chewy as rubber'.
Certainly it the Brown trout is cheap and cheerful with a relaxed ambience, nad the waitress was friendly (she gave us the steak free because of the cock up i the kitchen)but seriusly do not go here.
My advice: Avoid at all costs and go to the swan at the Vineyard about 100 yards away - it may be more expensive but you get what you want, and at a superbly high standard. Brown Trout? Don't get me started again.
