Sadly we had a terrible experience, we had booked a table for myself and my husband and we’re on time We waited twenty minutes for our order to be taken. Both ordered a starter. 20 minutes later my husband got his hummus and pitta starter...( no cooking to be done) I waited for mine which was a hot Camembert, 15 minutes later when I asked how much longer it would be I was told there was none. I had ordered fish and chips and my husband the chicken roast. No fish! After having been there an hour we said to cancel the rest of the order and wanted to leave. A woman/ cook came out and apologised, I said we should have been told on ordering what was not available,, they had a set Sunday menu for the day so not that difficult. She then asked what she was supposed to do as she had o ky had one fish and they usually have people order the Sunday roast. Then don’t have other things on the menu. She had a terrible attitude and we will not go back. We asked the young barman for our drinks bill which they offered at no expense and seemed embarrassed. On leaving I did tell the young man at the bar it wasn’t their fault but a very badly organised kitchen. Not impressed at all.More

Hi guys, I think you were in the White Hart in Otley, West Yorkshire, not our pub in Suffolk. We don’t have a Megan, and the toilets might be shabby but are clean! If you find yourself down in the South East, pop in.

We had a brilliant meal, lamb cutlets, monk fish and asparagus and wild garlic risotto were all perfectly cooked, looked good and were delicious. Puddings were of the same standard. Service friendly, all in all an excellent evening.

Thank you so much! We try very hard to use fresh and good ingredients usually sourced and grown locally. It ain’t fast food, that’s for sure! Looking forward to seeing you.

Really excellent homemade pie and chips. The chicken and mushroom pie was full of the above ingredients and the pie crust was very good. The 'cabbage' as advertised as the veg was actually mixed with several other veg and was actually very tasty. The chips...were the best I have eaten in a long time. Well done the cook and the lady behind the bar, all very welcoming.More

Thanks to all that happened, I missed this review. Ah, the Tapas. How to spin out “drinking only with a sizeable meal”. A cunning plan that was somewhat challenging in the kitchen. Very glad to enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words.
