I visited The Traders yesterday with my brother and sister to celebrate our birthdays. The table was booked for 1pm and we arrived at 12-50pm. We placed our orders for main courses which arrived at 1-45pm! I had asked one of the waitresses if they usually took so long to get their orders out and she said that they were a chef down and only had a trainee chef. The servings were minuscule and would have been insufficient for a seven year old! My sister and I agreed that we would have a pudding but were then advised that there were no sponge/ pancakes/ trifles of the day! A very disappointing visit, especially as we had not visited for some time and had received good reports about the place. I complained about the long wait and the small portions and received an apology. Could not possibly recommend this establishment to anyone.
