点评:I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but this visit was quite a letdown and felt like it needed to be said.
Let’s start with the food:
• The bread roll came with only one side buttered – and even that was a poor effort using cheap margarine that hadn’t even been spread properly.
• The chips were clearly frozen supermarket chips – definitely not homemade as you’d hope from a place like this.
• The sausage roll was almost unrecognizable. What should have been flaky pastry turned out to be just a greasy lump – completely unappetising.
• The salad was thrown together with no care – the lettuce was just a thick slab, the onion wasn’t sliced into rings as it should be, and overall it looked lazy. I actually like salad, but not this kind.
• The pork and stuffing cob came dry – no gravy at all, which made it difficult to enjoy.
• The pickled onions were tiny and not what you’d expect as a proper accompaniment.
• The Gala pie did have egg in it, but it was so minute it was barely noticeable.
• The onion rings were heavy with batter – far too thick and overwhelming.
The only thing I can genuinely compliment was the Guinness – poured well and had a decent head on it.
Service also left a lot to be desired. The staff came across as quite miserable, particularly the bald man behind the bar. His expression honestly made me wonder if someone had just died – no warmth, no welcome. It really affected the whole atmosphere.
All in all, I wouldn’t rush back. Plenty of potential here, but it needs serious improvements in both the kitchen and the front of house. After speaking to 2 other couples they had said it was a let down, disappointing and other had a smell yesterday on their visit?
Gave most of our food to the dog!
翻译:我通常不会留下负面评价,但这次的体验却让我大失所望,觉得有必要吐槽一下。
先说说菜品:
• 面包卷只有一面涂了黄油——而且涂得很粗糙,用的都是廉价的人造黄油,甚至都没涂好。
• 薯条明显是超市买的冷冻薯条——绝对不是这种地方自制的,你肯定希望是的。
• 香肠卷几乎面目全非。本来应该是酥脆的酥皮卷,结果变成了一坨油腻腻的糊状物——完全让人倒胃口。
• 沙拉做得粗制滥造——生菜厚厚地一片,洋葱也没有切成应该的圈,整体看起来一团糟。其实我喜欢沙拉,但不喜欢这种沙拉。
• 猪肉馅玉米棒很干——一点肉汁都没有,很难下咽。
• 腌洋葱太小了,不像你想象中那么配菜。
• 加拉派里确实有鸡蛋,但量太少,几乎感觉不到。
• 洋葱圈裹着厚厚的面糊——太厚重了,让人难以忍受。
我唯一真心称赞的是吉尼斯黑啤——倒得恰到好处,泡沫也不错。
服务也有很多不足之处。工作人员看起来相当沮丧,尤其是吧台后面那个秃头男人。他的表情真的让我怀疑是不是刚死了人——没有温暖,没有热情。这真的影响了整个氛围。
总而言之,我不会急着再来。这里有很多潜力,但厨房和前台都需要认真改进。在和另外两对夫妇交谈后,他们说这里令人失望,令人失望,还有人昨天来的时候闻到了一股味道?
我们大部分的食物都给狗吃了!
