“needs a shakeup”

written by on 22/04/2012

A first and last visit to this establishment, it needs a revival of its menu and some staff training, one of the elderly male waiters seemed as if he was just passing the time, we nicknamed him Mr cheerful.
I had a black pudding & potato salad starter, which I can only describe as a small portion & grim, my partner fared better with the parma ham melon choice.
For mains I decided on the Fillet steak wagon wheel, the sauce it was served with , was again grim, it would have tasted better with tomato sauce. The extensive wine list contained only one New Zealand wine, which was pleasant, although bringing a bottle of wine to the table opened is unforgivable.
Clearing plates from the table before everyone had finished, again some staff training is essential.
The sweet trolley looked like a health hazard, all in all a disappointment after a recommendation from friends as a good place to eat. And at over £40 a head, with only one bottle of wine and two small glasses of beer, I think a wake up call is needed.
