Stopped at the Feilden's Arms, Mellor for a meal on Sunday afternoon (July 2009) on our way back from a day out. Pub looked really nice from the outside and had a had a sign outside claiming award winning food. We thought we'd give it a try and weren't disapointed when we went inside as the place was very nicely decorated and looked really quite nice. Unfortunately, however, the food did not match up to the decor. The food, which claimed to be fresh on the menu was clearly anything but and the so called award winning steak pudding was probably one of the most misleading statements ever made and was drowned in instant gravy. The vegetables were barely cooked, the goosnargh duck was like one of those ready roasted crispy ducks which you buy from the supermarket and re-heat and my pate starter was still in a spoon shaped blob as if it had been dolloped straight out of the jar. We ended up sending some of our food back as it really was bad. The only positive was the young girl serving us who was really nice and handled eveything really well. Just felt sorry for her because it looked like she probable got the same thing every weekend. Probably one on the worst pub lunches i've ever had. Just goes to show you get what you pay for
