Cold food. And blamed me for not ordinating it well done

Both meals was cold. Same dish missing dishes that was with the main. It arrived as I was leaving blamed me for having cold meal said I should ask for lamb dish well done that’s why it was cold. Partner enjoyed his food it was steaming hot. Disappointed ☹️ as I eat there few times a week. Staff are great. Just not handled the situation well. I sent the food back twice. I said both times food is cold and ignored me and walked by us. I see if you complain or say anything they don’t like you don’t get great response It’s a shame as I am I regular customer and I would have liked them to have done better I mean it’s not good to serve cold food two occasions and don’t fix it. It’s an expensive dish and when your eating there three 4 times in a week would have been the decent thing to have fixed this without blaming me! I’m very sad. 😔 I originally put up a fantastic review but this evening valentines night really ruined it for us

Finally found a dog friendly pub with the best service and food! We all loved this place, plenty of veggie options too, we will probably become regulars now.

Beautiful food and such a lovely pub. We booked Sunday lunch for 12 adults (along with 6 dogs too!) and we were made to feel very welcome. The beef roast was incredible. It was £22 for 2 courses. I will definitely be back!

Booked a table for Sunday lunch - it was absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully cooked vegetables (not soggy), proper gravy, great Yorkshire puddings and the lamb was so tasty and tender. Would definitely recommend Sunday lunch here.

Meals very disappointing , served like a top end restaurant but pub grub, tiny portions, way over priced . Party of 17 of which I think three actually enjoyed the meal although not the quantity, a few even going for a McDonald's straight after , says it all...

Today my son took me to the Star for a belated Mother's Day Sunday Lunch. It was ok but I was horrified to see that he was charged £7.50 for a small glass of Rosie. I know prices have gone up but you can get a good bottle of wine for that price. I would like an explanation.

If the food fails then all fails. So this is a country pub tucked away in a small rural village. I’ve eaten here many times in the distant past. Decided to try again after a number of years. The interior has been updated and is fresh and welcoming. The staff were very pleasant. My biggest condemnation is of myself for not speaking up at the time and for answering the obligatory question “Is everything alright with your meal” in a false affirmative. If you’re really serious about getting feedback about your food then you are asking the wrong question. The question should be the “Name one thing that could be better” and take it from there. The chips were exceptional and then it stops there for me. I had cod and chips with mushy peas. The peas were minted which on first sampling was ok, but the mint was overpowering and I soon realised very sharp. There was therefore no real taste of mushy peas and I abandoned them. The fish was way over cooked, the batter was hard and mostly inedible. The cod (hard to tell what white fish it was) was dry and hard and was down there with the worst I’ve ever experienced. The portion was also quite meagre. For a £14 price tag I felt completely ripped off. I did point this out to the waitress as she cleared the half eaten fish away but she made no comment and neither did the chef come out to comment. I thought my wife’s choice of grilled chicken with leek and cheese sauce was ok. She commented favourably on the sauce, the vegetables she thought were good. She likes them, al dente, but they were very underdone for my taste. She finished with a plate half full and only ate a bit of the chicken which was dry and tasteless. The stuffing was ok but overpowered with I think tarragon. I tried her meal so I’m also reporting form a personal space. The sauce was good so really we paid £15 for sauce and chips. Now back to my opening sentence, our main purpose was to go out for a nice meal and this place failed abysmally on that point. I cannot recommend based on this visit and personally I will not visit again. There are plenty of places to eat that are immensely superior, food wise, and within a very short distance. My wife is an excellent chef and to be presented with a meal like she got, is frankly an insult.

Visited for a Birthday Meal on Saturday. Overall, very disappointed on two fronts. Firstly: Service. Majority of staff we came into contact with were very young, and/or inexperienced. From having to prompt for glasses to accompany the jug of water, to messing up our drinks order, to dropping a dirty knife on my partners knee - to name a few problems. Secondly: Food. For a starter, my partner ordered the Rustic Prawn Cocktail, that claimed to come with 'Malted Bloomer' bread. It came with a slice of what I'd assume was Hovis Medium Sliced White Load. Really made what looked like a great dish, a bit disappointing. Other than that, the Prawn Starter and my Chicken Liver Pate were fine. Onto the main - we both ordered the 'Leg of Welsh Lamb'. This looked disappointing from the outset, however I will be honest and say that we had misunderstood. The Menu does clearly state that the lamb is 'Boned and Rolled' however, for £18 it was hugely disappointing. We've had Leg of Lamb elsewhere recently, for the exact same price and it was a world apart. Not only was the cut disappointing, but it didn't taste nice either and was arguably overcooked (was barely pink at all). Would have been better suited in a Carvery rather than a Main Dish at £18. The Roasted Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables were also underdone and quite hard - not the end of the world, and had the lamb been nice I would have happily overlooked. All in all, we paid just over £50 for the food (excluding drinks) and it felt like such a colossal disappointment for what should have been a nice birthday meal in what is actually a very nice looking, Covid secure venue. Have heard lots of good things about this place, so I'm assuming that we were unlucky. Attaching a photo (albeit a bad one) of the main meal (vegetables in the bag) and 'malted bloomer'.

The Carne Armslocation-iconLlysworneyBritish

Warm welcome by new owner, who seemed lovely but went downhill very quickly. We were a table of 8 people, all family members to celebrate a birthday. We were asked to order asap as there was another big table arriving, which never happened. The first thing we noticed is that the menu had changed from previous visits which was disappointing but not too much of a problem until we started ordering….. most items on the menu were not even available including the items on the specials board, some of us had to order meals that we didn’t really want to order but lack of choice and third/forth option forced that decision. The excuse was there was a new chef?? Anyway there were 3 mixed grills ordered, these were all missing the mushrooms, onion rings, fried eggs which we had to wait an extra 10-15 mins for, when arrived the onion rings were not cooked in the middle, raw onion in batter basically so only the batter was edible. The steaks were awful, tiny little chunks that were not cooked properly, sent back and still in-edible. Two people ordered chicken breast which was dry and hard, the other meals were ok but not great. When the table was cleared I pointed out the problems and was told the chef would be informed. The bill was over £200 and not a penny offered back to us as a good will gesture of how atrocious it was, we were even charged £1 for an extra sausage on one mixed grill. Please don’t waste your money eating out here, totally ruined my birthday which I was so looking forward to with family members that I hadn’t been out with for a long time.

Bay 5location-iconPromenadeBritish

Myself and my partner visited on the day of the pride festival, we walked up and grabbed a coffee from Bay5 Coffee House, we opted for a takeaway cup and walked around the rear of the building to firstly get away from the wind to try and drink our coffee and secondly to sit whilst we enjoyed our coffee. We are sat for 10 minutes when a waitress walks past myself and my partner, does not make eye contact but raises her voice “that’s takeaway cups, you need to leave the table”. Now there is a service and a way to speak to customers, frankly the fact this waitress didn’t make eye contact or even stop to address us in a personable manner shows the lack of customer service this waitress has. Upon trying to ask what the difference was between a china cup and a takeaway cup, the waitress ignored us and proceeded to clear a table before walking back in the building. I for one, will not be returning to Bay5 without an answer and apology from the waitress as to why she thought customers could be treated in this manner.
