“Lower standards than other Crown Carveries”

★☆☆☆☆

written by jotoho on 03/10/2015

We arrived at the Squirrel on Bispham Rd early evening on Tuesday 29th Sept 2015.
We were told they had problem with the "steamers" & could only serve fish or 1/2 chicken in the carvery.
We settled & paid for 1 of each only to find that not only was the menu restricted but also the veg- mushy peas or baked beans !
We noticed a number of tables with reserved notices on.
As we sat eating people started to arrive & sat at these tables.
Soon there were around 20+ & only sitting with drinks !
Why if there were problems in the kitchen, were these people not advised ?
I believe the "steamers" problem was a ruse & that as soon as the non-reserved customers left,the serving area would miraculously be replenished with the usual fare for the "reservists".
It turned out they were all in Mercedes cars ,so appeared to be a club do !
Better if the staff had been more honest.
Having spoken to someone during our stay (a local) they said the standards at the Squirrel had become very poor.
