We have been to The Malthouse several times now and usually love the location, atmosphere and food. This time, however, I was disappointed. We ordered the Roast Dinner Pork Sandwich, which is usually accompanied by roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. My son decided to ask for a Yorkshire pudding instead of the pigs in blankets. The server seemed very new, and very unsure, which I have no problem with. Training is a factor in any job. However, even though we were very clear with our order, 2 full Roast Pork Dinners arrived. This was taken back with many apologies, and we waited for an amended meal. It arrived, and my sons order was without the Yorkshire pudding he asked for, the food was pretty lukewarm or cold in places (the roasties). I had to leave half of my sandwich. My son finished his, only because he was starving by then. We were charged full price, despite me mentioning the problems to the waiter...... And the original server looked really upset after the manager had told her off for her error...... All together, we felt pretty awkward and couldn't wait to leave. I'm sure this was a minor blip, and we will be back, it was just a shame, cos we were really looking forward to the meal after a long time being able to find time and money to book.
