Like Sparky we have visited this pub several times over the years and, while the food hasn't been terrific it was certainly acceptable.
However, we celebrated a birthday there in January 2008 and had the worst eating experience ever. We booked and arrived on time (5pm) and placed our orders by about 5.30. It was going up for 7pm before the first plates arrived. Starters were OK but the mains were abysmall. Stone cold plates and luke warm food that couldn't be faced by any but the most ravenous. One main was about the right amount for a starter ot a small child and was anything but value for money. For the first time in my life I sent mine back as inedible - a so called 'hot sandwich' of fish fillet on brown bloomer which came half cooked on a white teacake straight from the fridge. It was disgusting. Seafood pasta was half cooked with an indescribable water-thin, greasy sauce.
We complained to a staff member who said the waitress had asked if everything was OK - she hadn't - and we'd said it was fine (not so). The excuse for our long wait was that there were lots of other diners to be served. One party arrived long after us but were served before us. Why take bookings if there is no benefit?
Sadly this place is about as bad as it gets.
