Upon entering the pub, the guy behind the bar was showing the waitresses a magic trick, now I don’t have a problem with that, but on customers entering the pub he should have stopped and greeted the customers, he did not. We waited for maybe 60 to 90 seconds before being greeted, which was not very professional. We ordered some drinks at the bar, a large glass of Pinot Grigio and a large glass of Pepsi Max (no ice), the drinks were handed over, the Pepsi had ice in it, I didn’t bother to say anything. We were shown to our table and given some menus, whilst we were choosing what to order, at least 2 more tables were seated close by. We had put the menus down indicating that we were ready to order, but the other 2 tables were attended to before us, eventually my wife had to ask the guy behind the bar if we could order. Order taken and we waited for our food. Our food arrived and I have to say, it was excellent, the only negative was that we had to use the dessert spoons vegetables and cauliflower cheese because none were supplied. We decided to share a dessert and of course we had to ask for spoons as we’d used the ones supplied on the vegetables. As previously mentioned, the food was excellent, the waitresses were lovely, but the overall service was not the best.
