点评:Like most places in Swanage in season you need to book in advance, which we did for Saturday night. Arrived on time, and table had been reserved for us. So far so good.
As it claims to be a gastro pub, I was expecting at least some kind of informal table service, but it was order at the bar only. The staff were a bit of a motley crew, one young girl looked totally miserable and absolutely exhausted. I had a pint of Landlord,( which was not the best- a bit too warm and flat) and ordered fish pie and a vegi burger. Half an hour later and no action, and we noticed other customers getting impatient as well. Anyway a table close to us got served and the lady also had ordered fish pie, but left 90% of it which was not very encouraging !
We chased up our order after a while longer, and was told it had been mislaid but was nearly ready. Ten minutes later it appeared ( total wait about one hour) The Fish pie was cold and had to be sent back, to come back only lukewarm. It tasted OK apart from that. The Vegi burger was very thin and on a cheap burger roll, with some salad and chips. We both left part of our meals which is highly unusual for us ! In the meantime I had gone to the bar for a glass of wine. The barmaid spilt some of it and did not bother wiping the glass so it dripped on the floor and the table.
In the end they refunded the fish pie, which was a good gesture, but we would rather have just had two decent meals and paid for them.
For sure this is no gastro pub !
翻译:和斯旺纳奇大多数旺季的地方一样,你需要提前预订,周六晚上我们就是这么做的。准时到达,已经为我们预留了桌子。到目前为止一切顺利。
由于它声称是一家美食酒吧,我期待至少有某种非正式的餐桌服务,但只能在吧台点餐。工作人员有点杂乱无章,一个年轻女孩看上去非常沮丧,筋疲力尽。我喝了一品脱 Landlord 啤酒(不是最好的——有点太热太平了),点了鱼饼和素食汉堡。半小时后,没有任何动静,我们注意到其他顾客也变得不耐烦了。无论如何,我们附近的一张桌子得到了服务,那位女士也点了鱼饼,但剩下了 90%,这让人很不高兴!
过了一会儿,我们追查我们的订单,被告知它被放错了,但快准备好了。十分钟后(总共等了大约一个小时)鱼饼已经凉了,不得不退回去,最后上来时只剩下温热的了。除此之外味道还不错。素食汉堡很薄,夹在便宜的汉堡卷里,配上一些沙拉和薯条。我们俩都剩下了一部分餐食,这对我们来说非常不寻常!与此同时,我去酒吧喝了一杯酒。酒吧女招待洒了一些酒,没有擦杯子,所以酒滴在了地板和桌子上。
最后他们退还了鱼饼,这是一个很好的姿态,但我们宁愿只吃两顿像样的饭菜,并为此付钱。
这肯定不是美食酒吧!
