I ate here about a year ago and the food was great. Unfortunately it wasn't today. Initially it was amusing - the menu showed that the starters consisted of a vegetable soup, with a bread roll and butter, whilst the vegan option was the same but without the butter! Clearly not much effort was expanded for vegans and as it turned out, not for anyone else either!

When the starters arrived I had the opposite of food envy - the food just looked awful. The person sat opposite me had a prawn cocktail which was just half a prawn, about a third of another prawn and a very small salad portion. I had chilli mushrooms which were over cooked and very poorly presented. The last member of our party had a soup which was too spicy and very watery. The main courses (turkey and beef) were generally ok, but came with cauliflower "cheese" which tasted nothing cheese like.

The pudding were more like childs' portions and the apple crumble was nowhere near crumble like.

We only complained about the first course and did get an apology but there was no offer to fix the problem.

I've no idea what happened since our last visit but we all said there was no way we would eat hear again.

The staff were pleasant (although I felt could have made more of an effort to put things right) and there was ample parking.
