Many times I have driven past this pub and thought it looked inviting, and finally tonight I went there for a meal. The general vibe was lively and great, the bar staff were great, but the main reason I went there was for the food.....it was sadly underwhelming. The Lobster and Chorizo Thermidor entree was served on bread, and it barely covered the two small slices of bread, but worse was the fact that the flavour was non-existent. It was bland, and there was no evidence of lobster in the flavour. This was followed by the Chicken, Corn and Chorizo house-made pie which came sitting on a bed of mash, with some runny gravy (presumably it was gravy) and peas poured over the top. I could best describe it as hearty, but again bland, with no real detectable flavour. Overall what started out as a great evening ended up with a deflated feeling. Since then I have found out that one other friend in our large group sent their meal back to the kitchen because it was so poor, and another basically left everything uneaten without sending it back...in other words, almost 20% of our group were very unhappy with the food.
