Apparently the only restaurant open on Sunday evenings in Chipping Campden. We barely got a table for two. Ordered their vegetable soup as a starter. Well...nowhere did it mention in menu or by the server that the soup was in fact pureed. Had a nice flavor and was hot but not outstanding. We shared their Sunday beef roast with gravy, yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, roasted potato. Side of mashed carrots (gross) and cabbage & pea salad. The entree was reminiscent of a TV dinner. The meat was gristly, fatty, and difficult to chew. The yorkshire pudding had several grease slicks and tasted like a deep-fried funnel cake minus the powdered sugar. The gravy and mashed potatoes were tepid in temp and bland in flavor. The roasted potatoes were overly greasy as well-tasted deep fried, not roasted. Wanted to try their sticky toffee pudding but was too disappointed with mains.
So...we asked for bill and it had an extra 5 things on it we didn't order. This included a glass of wine, a cider, a beer, and an extra entree for the gamy beef dinner. Pleasant enough waitress who corrected it but not a whiff of an apology.
Now, this was our first English Sunday Roast dinner but come on. This was really not good or a good value. Sad to say we finished our meal as we're being screwed by the exchange rate and hate to waste money. We had a better meal at McDonalds on the way to the Coltswolds than here. I'm hoping to try another roast dinner here in England to get this bad taste out of my mouth!
