I returned to the Crooked Chimney after a previous poor experience. I had heard good reports and was happy to give the bar a second chance.
There were three people in our party. The pub had a steak night promotion on offer - Two steaks, plus bottle of Wine for £25, My Colleague and I took up this option, the third member of our party ordered the Beer Battered Fish & Chips.
Service speed was Ok about 15 mins. Unfortunately all the meals were cool or at best luke warm, having clearly been stood for to long. The mushy peas from the fish and Chips were very dry and clearly reheated. One of the Steak dishes was missing the chips. Both Steaks were cool and very chewy. When we ordered the bottle of wine the bar had ran out of Wine glasses so instead offered us small beer glasses as an alternative.
When asked by the waitress (who was very nice) if the meals were ok, I said the meals were to cold, she offered to warm them up (presumably in the Microwave). We all declined the offer. Later after speaking to the Manger we were offered free deserts. We accepted and I ordered the Apple pie with cream. This duly arrived after 10 mins. Unfortunately the cream was off. Again I complained, and this timed I declined any more complimentary food. Any Pub or Restaurant that will serve up off cream should in my opinion be avoided at all costs.
