The good, the bad, and the unacceptable. The good - the pub is in such a wonderful position and if you're fortunate enough to eat at a window table, the view across the harbour is to die for. There's also a relaxed, unhurried vibe to enjoy regardless of your table.
The bad - the Sunday carvery seems to be unmissable. After all, what is not to like about crispy roast potatoes and crackling along with your pork. The reality, however, took me back many years to school dinners. The potatoes, if they ever were crispy, were served beneath gravy soaked pork, so, of course they were soggy. No crackling came with the meal and the Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and dry. There's more, but you've got the idea.
On a small plus side, the manager, did deduct the cost of two meals. However, I would have much preferred, not a deduction, but a genuine apology and, surely, a commitment to let the kitchen staff know that the food quality was unacceptable. Not many changes would be needed to transform the food into something that would encourage customers to return rather than look elsewhere.
As a local, I have always previously enjoyed eating here, so feel badly let down on this occasion.
