Until
yesterday
I
would
have
agreed
with
the
five
star
reviews
for
the
food
and
Sunday
roasts.
One
of
my
favourite
pubs
in
Bristol,
the
food
has
always
been
tasty
and
generous,
with
a
bar
serving
finely
kept,
excellent
beer.
Yesterday,
9
October,
I
booked
a
table
with
a
friend,
ordered
the
lamb
sunday
roast
and
after
a
long
wait,
the
food
arrived.
It
was
odd.
The
extra
we
paid
for
cauliflower
cheese
was
a
very
small
dish
and
had
obviously
been
sitting
under
lights
for
a
long
time,
coated
with
a
tell-tale
film
and
was
barely
warm.
We
had
a
tablespoon
of
cauliflower
cheese
each.
The
main
event
had
decent
roast
potatoes,
but
the
rest
of
the
veg
was
a
sort
of
carrotty
cabbage
mix.
The
Yorkshire
pud
was
small
and
soggy
(gravy
was
in
a
separate
jug
as
requested
so
it
wasn't
that)
and
the
lamb
was
very
sparse:
a
few
chunks
and
bumps
of
lamb
scattered
over
the
cabbage
mix.
I'd
been
telling
my
friend
how
good
the
food
at
BM
was
so
this
was
hugely
disappointing.
We
weren't
asked
if
everything
was
okay.
My
friend
didn't
want
to
make
a
fuss
but
I
should
have
mentioned
the
small
amount
of
meat
for
what
we
paid.
I
heard
at
the
bar
that
there
were
a
lot
of
'walk-ins'
and
so
it
felt
that
the
food
was
running
low
in
the
kitchen.
I
asked
at
the
bar
before
I
ordered
if
there
was
enough
lamb
and
was
told
there
was.
I
don't
see
the
point
of
booking
in
advance
in
this
case
if
you
can't
cater
for
those
who
have.
We
both
left
hungry
and
disappointed...ended
up
sharing
a
pizza
a
little
later
in
a
pub
close
by.
The
two
stars
are
for
the
beer,
the
spuds
and
the
bar
staff
but
I
will
hesitate
before
choosing
the
BM
for
Sunday
roast
in
the
future.
