Slow service, forgetful staff. Food could be better. We waited over an hour for our food. Our drinks that we ordered from the waitress never materialised. (So we had to go to the bar and order ourselves after a 35 min wait).

When the food finally came, there were discrepancies of what we had been told we could order and what was on the plate. Example: my dad ordered fish and chips and garden peas and instead they brought mushy peas... When he queried it, they offered baked beans!).

When I ordered my food (a standard beef roast) I was told it would come with mash. I thought this was a bit quirky so just went along with it. When it came out there was no mash just a few small roast potatoes instead, they tasted like they had been left over from lunch time unfortunately. For my Sunday roast i was also served a very flat and sad looking Yorkshire pudding. When we were asked if we wanted any sauces I asked for mustard. ...Obviously that never appeared.

Portion size is quite small here, so if you are hungry you may want to look elsewhere (think smaller than London portions). We didn't stay for dessert in the end as it had taken so long to get to the main meal stage.
