The Chase Inn in South Gloucestershire

Went for lunch. Had to wait at the counter for a longtime. Member of staff no paying any attention to us. She carried on doing things instead of serving us. Then my wife had to walk into the kitchen and ask if there is anyone serving. The girl behind the counter then did respond by saying I'm busy! Then we placed our order and got very abrupt and frosty response. If you hates customers why work in a cafe

What a disappointment. Four of us went here for a nice meal tonight (Saturday) and all left disappointed. We had starters: Garlic Mushrooms were okay, fairly bland but okay. Crab was not as expected but instead a chowder, not bad but not great. Chicken strips were nice. Mains: Steak and Ale Pie: Badly mixed gravy and overcooked pastry outer. Meat mix was very nice. Chicken duo: Chicken strips were again okay but the grilled breast was massively overdone and dry. Rum Caramel belly pork: Heston Blumenthal this is not, overly sweet and with not enough rum to taste it. Belly pork was tasty but ruined by the sauce as were the potatoes and carrots. The "carrot crisps" are just roasted carrot peelings, not bad but odd. Sea Bass Risotto: Risotto rice did not seem to be used for this recipe so the flavour was not soaked into the rice. Sadly this left the rice part tasting bland aside the partially cooked peas which felt like an afterthought. The fish itself was quite nice but rest of dish bland. Service was sadly also lacking. Friendly but overworked staff who seemed to be very busy in the rest of the restaurant. Not once were we asked how our meal was, presumably (and based on other food being sent back to the kitchens) it is because they already knew the answer. I hope this was just an off day but none of us will be returning to find out. Finally I cannot complain about the atmosphere because there wasn't one.

An Ace time at "The Grapes" 🍇 the other day, meet "Soul & Motown" they were Brilliant! 😁🎵 👍

Nice cafe / restaurant and shop

Very poor . If you can’t cook a chip you know where the door is . I had lasagne which was burnt around the edges , proper black . The garlic bread was like concrete , it shattered when I bit it and the salad was , or looked like days old . The chips were not cooked they were pale , cold and rock hard . I did mention it to the waitress who gave me a fresh bowl within seconds . So she got a point and so did the rest of the serving staff but the food let you all down . So what can I say , it is budget food but you still expect a certain standard . We will not return sorry
