Really disappointing meal : from a group of 9 of the 5 people I discussed the food with their meals were served cold. This was our third visit over the years and will be our last. My burger was cold - the ingredients were potentially good but it was cold by the time it reached me. My daughter's pasta, my wife's fish, my son's steak and my mother's steak were all cold. My wife's sea bass was small for £29 and she said tasted 'fishy' and not fresh. Beer wise the Hog's Back was off so the only option was London Pride - not a bad thing in itself but indicative of poor stock management. Most other guests (not from our party) looked to be having roasts, it being Sunday lunch, but can't comment as none of our party opted for this. The dining room was 2/3 full - though other areas such as the private dining were in use so it was reasonably busy. Service was young, friendly, and adequate. The dining room was chilly though it warmed up a little as people arrived. Unfortunately I think there is something wrong between the kitchen and the service - either the food is being prepared but not presented warm enough or the slightly haphazard service means it is sitting on the pass too long and not reaching the table promptly. We regret not raising concerns at the time but as my mother was inviting and we were there to commemorate my recently deceased father's birthday we did not want to spoil the occasion. Despite this restraint it was not what we were hoping for. Prices are aggressive and not justified by the offering.
