Pretty
poor
experience
to
be
honest.
Booked
a
table
for
2.15.
When
arrived,
was
advised
chef
was
starting
his
break
and
would
be
roughly
30
minutes.
30
minutes
later
told
he'd
be
another
10/15
minutes.
Why
take
bookings
when
you
can't
actually
serve?
Anyway,
ordered
food.
A
starter/sharer
between
all
3,
and
3
mains.
It
all
came
at
once.
So
not
great.
The
attached
pictures
are
what
they
call
"steak
and
ale
pie"
on
the
menu.
Few
bits
of
meat
and
a
small
piece
of
anemic
puff
pastry.
I've
seen
other
pictures
of
this
dish
in
reviews,
with
lots
of
meat,
a
lovely
looking
gravy,
and
a
nice
big
blob
of
puff
pastry.
Whilst
a
PIE
is
NOT
what
is
on
offer
here,
they
at
least
looked
appetising
and
hearty.
This
effort
was
a
very
poor.
I've
had
better
for
ยฃ3
in
the
Horseshoe.
Went
to
the
bar
to
seek
the
bill
(no
one
was
coming
near
us
to
ask),
and
it
duly
arrived.
Minus
the
friends
and
family
discount
I
had
advised
of,
but
that
was
easily
sorted
when
I
went
back
to
the
bar.
I
might
have
mentioned
the
food
quality,
or
the
absence
of
a
chef,
had
the
poor
guy
left
alone
at
the
bar
at
4pm
of
an
afternoon
in
December
in
the
4th
largest
city
in
the
UK,
but
no
one
asked.
Or
cared.
I
live
and
work
in
the
city
centre,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
I
won't
be
back
for
any
food.
Sorry
to
the
staff
for
zero
tip,
but
it's
not
a
right.
It's
a
reward.
And
it
wasn't
earned.
