After spending some time reviewing the menu on the website, we were looking forward to the hanger steak and the sirloin in brandy sauce. On arrival we were told both of these were no longer on the menu and had been replaced by flank steak which the waiter tried to say was an equally good cut as hanger (which it isn't). The whole meal was nothing more than average, and we've had more flavoursome meals at pub chains. The servings were small, the side vegetables were bland and lukewarm plus the snails I had to start we're like shrivelled rubber bullets served on half a bone with a slice of garlic toast. We expected far better from a reknowned chef in such a great location. What looked great on paper didn't transfer to the plate.
