sorry no picture of this pub
This allegedly 300 year old pub-come restaurant now seems settled into a roughly two year cycle of going from pretty rubbish to almost quite good and then back again. Currently we seem to be in pretty rubbish mode. Somehow the varying mood furniture and simple stylishness of 2007 has vanished to be replaced by a very ordinary bar - OK a few squashy leather settees remain - and a flat atmosphere. The sometimes excellent, sometimes awful restaurant has been reborn as a Thai kitchen -hurrah, that's cutting edge for these parts. On Sunday, only roasts - or, to quote the menu "slow roast" beef or lamb is offered. It seemed a bargain at £5.95 - until the plates arrived. You know the old chestnut? Waiter: "How did you find your meat sir?" Diner: "Easily - just moved the cabbage leaf and there it was." One medium slice of meat does not a Sunday roast make and even slightly poncy slicing and arrangement does not boost the calorific value of a pair of small roast potatoes and some matchsticks of what were probably parsnip. Let's try again in two years time.
