A friend and I visited The Seadog yesterday to have a Sunday Roast having found their good reviews on Google. Unfortunately, we didn't really enjoy the food. Having ordered beef sirloin, which said it came served as "blush" as on the menu. It was extremely chewy, and had a large piece of fat along the back of the steak that hadn't been rendered down at all. Throughout the rest of the steak there was gristle, and it was really hard to cut as we weren't given steak knives. I couldn't eat any of the steak as it was too hard to chew, and my friend had a go but left most of hers, so we just ate the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and stuffing, which were all very well cooked. Not too crunchy, not too soft. The veg consisted of 3 Roast potatoes, half a carrot (apparently cooked in marmalade, but couldn't really taste that), some blackcurrant red cabbage (again, couldn't really taste the blackcurrant) and some Cavolo Nero with almonds. The gravy was watery and didn't have a lot of flavour. As we were sat outside, (due to not being able to access the pub as I'm a wheelchair user and there is a step to get inside) the gravy kept trying to make an escape off the plate, due to the pub being on a slope! All in all, for around £52 for a meal and one soft drink each, it wasn't great that neither of us could eat the meat, and we both left still feeling hungry. Positives: The veg and stuffing were very nice, the weather was good for October and the atmosphere sitting outside the pub and music were great.
