The White Hart in Central Bedfordshire

We were invited to try this pub, and we were not disappointed. Service was in good time and friendly, we didn't feel like we were left waiting but felt like we had enough time to choose what we wanted without feeling rushed. The food we had was very tasty, my wife having the Porchetta and I had the fish and chips, both were very tasty. I gave in to temptation and l had the Apple crumble, this was a lot larger than we had expected. No wonder the waiter brought two spoons! My only critique is that it could have done with more than one small scoop of ice cream. I'm sure if I would have asked I could have had another as it didn't last the crumble. But it didn't ruin a loverly meal and experience. The manager even recommended a trip across the road to the antique store, where my wife managed to find a much searched for Umbrella stand, so thank you for that too.

What a beautiful pub, the food was amazing especially the scotched eggs

First of all, when we arrived the table that I reserved had been given to someone else. Secondly, half of my meal was almost cold and the egg that I asked to be well fried wasn't. Thirdly, two members of staff were having a shouted conversation from behind the bar with another diner at the table right beside us, such that we had to complain that we could not hear ourselves talking. (They were shouting partly to be heard over the inane muzack.) My experience the last time I was here wasn't much different, so this is the last time.

My sons wedding, a lovely venue and the staff were welcoming and friendly. I will say now having spoken to my son and found the cost per head I need to complain. 60 ,15 of those young children), guests and we were all hungry. A few bowls of pasta a dish of roast new potatoes, a dish roast veg , salad and chicken even the legs were cut in half.. Then in the evening pizza and chips.....the chips came out after the pizza's had been eaten. Come on White Hart, I could of catered for this at half the price, it is a rip off. 80% of us wedding guests had some sort of sickness bug, I am not saying it was the food but my son did e mail to say this just to give you heads up...no response.....very poor .

Food was tasty and great value! Only a 4 as was surrounded by fruit flies the entire time we were there.

I recently celebrated my wedding at this venue, and honestly, it was incredible! From the moment we arrived, the staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, and our drinks kept flowing thanks to their attentive service. The atmosphere was perfect for such a special occasion, and everything was spotless. Can’t thank the team enough for making our day so memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic venue!

Had a problem with fruit flies in the bar area, got them in our drinks too! Don't stay on a Tuesday night/Wednesday as bins are collected at 4.45 in the morning, nice wake up call!

Been lots of times to the white hart having lived in Ampthill since we were born, the service was good however there was a severe fly issue in the pub and around our dinner. I would highly recommend this getting sorted out asap as spoken to a few people since who experienced the same problem. I would say it’s a pest control issue and now pleasant whatsoever

Very nice historic building in a great location however the beer quality is poor for ales and IPA . Food is not much better but has been a lot better in the past. I have spent a lot of time in the past in this bar but sadly the beer today is not great

Disappointing Sunday roast. Food was lukewarm, potatoes undercooked and a serious lack of gravy. Overpriced for the quality of what we received.

A fantastic restaurant. This was recommended by the owner of our accommodation and it lived up to expectations. We had pizza which were fantastic. It's great to get a wood fired pizza in a non-italian restaurant. The staff were excellent and showed an interest in where we were from and why we were in the area. The downside is that you have to pay to park in a nearby public car park

Fantastic!!! That's the easiest way to describe it.......pollo picante was to die for!!!

In the centre of Ampthill. Amazing breakfast menu

Nice old place in the centre of Ampthill - which is a really nice market town. Only one real ale on when I visited but it was good. Food is good, well presented and tasty. Not cheap, but not overly expensive either.

Lovely hotel with great atmosphere and friendly staff. My room (4) was really nice, clean and comfortable. Decent choice of beer and the breakfast was very good and excellent value. Only downsides are, the car park which is £8 for 24 hours, the WiFi isn't great in the room.

Thought we’d try here for lunch, and the food was actually pretty good, with a varied menu….which was what appealed to us. That is where the good news ends. Service was pretty much the worst we’ve ever received, and to top it off they sneak a 10% service charge ion to your bill, even for a table of 2. The young lady that served us in the restaurant appeared like it was her first day and had been plonked there off the street. No idea what ales they had on draught and made me walk to the bar to look for myself. There was one option! My wife ordered a glass of champagne, to which she was asked “small, medium or large” Are you kidding!!! What then turned up was flat and tasted like the bottle had been open for a month. When queried, the bar staff actually argued and said it was freshly opened…..eventually swapping it for an alternative drink. The shouting and screaming coming from the kitchen also detracted from the experience. Massive disappointment, and I having looked it up here it is clear that we aren’t the only ones. The lack of management response to reviews clearly shows they don’t give two hoots either. Save your money and go anywhere else. Shame as the food was good, but lacking everywhere else.

Really cute pub on the main high street in Ampthill. Stayed in the BnB upstairs, which was really spacious. The staff were super friendly. Brunch the next morning was yummy, too!

Really nice hotel we stayed in for a wedding. Staff are great, food is good. Rooms amazing. But it is a very building so expect noise and in room rooms a wobbly floor

Hair in food , a lack of service, my food was stone cold, waited an almost 45 minutes for drinks.Staff was rude especially the manager.

Popped in for food as we were driving home. Delighted we did!

What a fantastic find, stopped off with family for a late Sunday afternoon dinner and what a wonderful venue. Food and service were amazing, spotlessly clean and the place had a really nice friendly vibe. So good, I’ll be going back next weekend. I have to give a mention to Cameron who looked after us, professional, charming and looked after all our needs. Many thanks.

Very nice place, feels like home 😀

Stunning food and accomplished staff that are attentive. Highly recommend

Great service and food. The breakfast menu is amazing

Had a superb evening last night. Was looked after by a lovely lady called Amber. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Both food and service was excellent. Would highly recommend!!

Recently visited for lunch. Food was poor and not as described. All but one member of staff were aloof, our waitress was particularly unhelpful and abrupt. Not once were we checked on for drinks, and when we did ask for them it felt like chore. Avoid.

We held the wake at the White Hart after my mother's funeral. We paid £18 per head for a preselected buffet for around 35 people, some of whom had travelled many miles to pay their respects. The buffet consisted of 2 or 3 plates of mediocre sandwiches and one plate of hummus dip and a few peppers. The latter went very quickly as there just wasn't enough. The sandwiches were barely enough. The place itself has a nice feel to it and the private function room was ideal. Similarly the staff were efficient and helpful. This is review is purely about the extortionate charge made for a few sandwiches and a plate of hummus. Oh, there were also 2 big bowls of standard fayre fries. Great. Not being one to rush to give negative views, and baring in mind the occasion, I went in to the White Hart the next day and spoke privately to a very helpful assistant manager who took the time to listen to my issues and made plenty of notes, assuring me he would pass them up the line to more senior management. I have no doubt he did that. And yet after 2 weeks there has been no response and I doubt one is forthcoming. I won't be returning and certainly caution against booking an important event here.

A warm can of 0% Guinness and a medium ( medium!!) glass of cheap sauvignon £16.45 . Not sure where they think they are .. maybe in a London rooftop not in an average pub in Ampthill. Pizza was also expensive and average.

as we stayed at teh White Hart for several nights we had a number of dinners and breakfasts there. Each meal was very good, great service, quality of food excellent. The servers and manager could not do enough for you, great effort.

We came to celebrate fathers day with my family, my daughters fiance and his family, group of 10 plus a 2 year old. I ordered the slow roasted beef. Worst roast I've ever eaten (left) the beef was impossible to cut, let alone chew. The potatoes were bruised , it also came with half a brocoli and a buscuit, that I presume was meant to be a Yorkshire pudding. Not worth £22. Won't be eating there again

Very much like this pub. Nice and cosy, clean and tidy. Helpful staff and good food. Really nice atmosphere. Will come back again!

While the food itself was good, service was not. We had one course and a coffee and it took 2 plus hours (it didn't even seem to be that busy). We had to ask what was happening with our order as the table next to us who had arrived and ordered after us were served well before us, while we just waited without any communication or explanation from the staff. When we did ask, the meal appeared quite quickly which just made us wonder if they had simply forgotten us and the meals had been waiting in a heated service area. Then we waited ages for the plates to be removed, eventually managed to order some coffees which arrived 15 minutes later and were at best luke warm. Staff were pleasant enough (just a little inattentive) but unless you have a lot of time on your hands I wouldn't recommend eating here.

Had a lunchtime meeting here today Two excellent cappuccino’s and excellent brunch plates I had the Egg Funghi which was really lovely - poached eggs were spot on Colleague had the smoked salmon with avocado which he said was really good too Friendly attentive service also - Ola back running the White Hart has made a big difference I think

Great pub, breakfast was excellent

Drinks late to table part of a meal left in the kitchen and then charged £5.50 for a side serving of prawns there were 4.5 prawns on the plate when it was queried I was told that it was company rules . Prawns were no bigger than a two pence piece Absolutely shocking

I have no words as to how bad this was !!! Waited 20min for a beer should have been a sign of things to come !!! It just got worse !!!! Over and an hour and twenty min wait for a roast on a Sunday !!!! With no communication apparently there had been an accident in n the kitchen ??? But if that were true would you not think to tell the waiting tables

Have never had a bad meal here ! Hadn’t eaten here for a while but hubby and I chose here out of all on offer in ampthill today we chose lots of small dishes plus one main on the special all were delicious the muscles were big fresh and tasty It was lovely to see Ola back as manager she’s been trained well and knows how to run the business. It’s definitely improving where it needed

Had brunch .. it was delicious. Lovely place

The hotel has some character but is in need of of investment - I award 4 stars as a result. It is essentially a pub with rooms. My partner is staying for 2 nights and the room is growing on him. Great WiFi , lovely bath, constant hot water, lovely pillows, hair dryer etc - worth every penny. It is well located for the courts, Waitrose is a few minutes away and there are lots of independent shops. Breakfast was nice but was not enamoured with last night’s meal. May dine out tonight.

We arranged a table for 17 (children and adults) quite last minute. We were able to pre-order our food and they rang and checked the order with us. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. My little one chose sausages and enjoyed the food too. My only gripe was when we ordered drinks we weren't allowed/offered to make a tab and were asked to come down to the bar to pay before they arrived. They allowed us to bring a birthday cake with us and kindly gave us plates and a cake knife to cut it up. If in the area again we would visit for lunch!

Had lunch here last weekend with my grandparents which was great. Our waitress (I think her name was Maddy) was really lovely and patient with my grandparents, and dealt very well with a difficult table behind us.

Ordered food from the bar. No one asked about allergies. It was delivered by a very rude waitress who chucked the food on the table without saying anything. My partners pizza (she’s a vegetarian) was cut after mine which had Nduja on it. It was obvious on her vegetarian pizza. Then the waitress was very put out when we asked for ketchup/salt and pepper. Made to feel a nuisance and inconvenience. It’s a shame as the Oakmann Inns group is generally good but this is a poor experience compared to others we’ve been to.

We personally didn’t stay at this hotel, but we came here for lunch on a recommendation. Lunch was exceptionally tasty. I had the eggs Benedict and would say it’s the best one I’ve had. Service was good and friendly staff and will be back again soon.

Great location on the highstreet. Unfortunately parking is £8 per night! The rooms are very quiet, you couldn't hear the pub at all. Very firm beds- which some people like but not personally for me. Overall a good experience though. Handy having the food in the pub.

Dog friendly, even sell doggy ice cream

Really nice pub ! Great atmosphere 😄

Owen is the one for cocktails! Bang on

It's gorgeous, but we won't be back. Booked their family room for our young family and I genuinely don't understand how you can promote a family friendly stay when the room is almost completely inaccessible with a pram. The room wasn't cleaned well, when I hopped out the shower, you could see the former guests had written "I see dead people" in the mirror, visible only with the steam. Hilarious, but definitely hadn't been cleaned properly! When we came down at 5.30pm, we were told to be careful on the stairs because a drunk woman had thrown up on the stairs. At 5.30pm! In a venue meant to be family friendly.

Lovely meal in the White Hart The food was delicious 😋

Enjoyed an impromptu meal on a Sunday evening. Good service and food.

Good food with a friendly atmosphere. Expensive pint though!

Lovely family meal this Sunday, 12 of us and all food came out hot and was delicious. Friendly staff made us feel welcome from the start and our waitress Maddy very friendly and nothing was too much bother for her with different requests.

Great staff great location great service and a fabulous party venue

First time coming here again in a while and the service has gone backwards. Food was very slow to come out and also found the staff a little bit rude, simple requests seemed like it was a bit too much effort. This is a shadow of what it was a few years back and is a bit of a shame.

Popped in for Saturday morning breakfast and it was fantastic. Food cooked to perfection, nice coffee, lovely atmosphere and hospitality second to none. Look forward to going back.

Lovely place and great food. Massive thank you to Chantelle for going above and beyond in ensuring we had an enjoyable experience with top service! Will definitely be coming back.

Me and my wife stayed here for a couple of night's, and we couldn't thank Chantelle enough for her politeness and service. She took care of our every request in a very professional manner. Its good to see staff like this.

Chantelle was always happy to assist on our stay, highly recommend this venue

Chantelle took care of us from start to finish ensuring our stay was comfortable and welcoming. She was friendly and handled any questions we had well. If this is the level of staffing throughout the white hart, we will be coming back again.

The winds were blistering cold the other evening, whilst out on my walk! So I decided to pop into the White Hart for a winter warmer. The staff were lovely but one young lady in particular went above and beyond for me. I have never been treated so well! Miss Chantelle Williams. You were an absolute delight. So kind and thoughtful. You made me feel at home! You are a treasure to the White Hart! I wish you all the best in your future and may your efforts be rewarded and recognised. Thank you again.

Met here with some friends for dinner which had been booked. On arrival the seating was a bit strange, they had to juggle chairs to accommodate us. The seating juggling continued for a large part of the evening as more diners arrived. We ended up with a table in the corner in the restaurant upstairs. The lighting was so poor we used our phones for light to read the menu. The staff agreed that the lighting was inadequate. The food was okay, but not brilliant. The service was good and the staff attentive. Probably will not return any time soon.

Long wait for ordering and for the food, when it did come my order was incorrect. I Was then charged for the incorrect item on my bill, when I pointed out to waitress of the error she told me it ‘doesn’t matter they’re the same price anyway’ …which I advised her they were not… she soon corrected the bill for me. Shame the service is so poor as the food is good

A lovely afternoon. Sat in a little corner opposite the pizza oven. Next to a fire. Was lovely and cosy. Staff were friendly. Food was wholesome and delicious.

Me and my girls went out for birthday night out and stopped at the white hart. Absolutely brilliant service, sever Owen was absolutely amazing to accommodate an all our needs and was so friendly and helpful. Reeneh (assistant manger ) had everything under control within the establishment. Will definitely be returning!!

We only stopped for breakfast was lovely and staff were helpful

We waited over 20 min, then we are accused of being difficult. The manager then threatened us, and it got out of control. After a fun evening in ampthil, this pubs arrogance wrecked it

Rooms were really comfortable and noise insulated, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Great value for money and would highly recommend

Work Christmas meal out. So we'd preordered and paid upfront. Food was OK but service was poor; no cutlery, dishes not served at the same time and poor drinks service (we had to go to the bar!). If they can't serve big groups then they shouldn't advertise that they can!

Pre Christmas get together drink. The place was buzzing.

We went here for our Christmas lunch as a family, the restaurant was very comfortable, not crowded out with extra tables. The service was very slow with the waiter and waitresses not actually serving but asking for food to be passed along like a school canteen. The lobster and prawn starter was very small with one small piece of lobster, no bread and butter. Drinks took ages to arrive, the first drink given was Prosecco or elderflower but nothing for younger children. We ordered well in advance but still several meals had to go back. I had the vegetarian meal which should have been stuffed cauliflower but was a small cauliflower head with a bit of something on the top. The cauliflower was inedible it was totally hard. What a waste of money. We were then served cheese and biscuits all the biscuits were broken into pieces, these we did send back . There was no de-caff tea, so went without that as well at £95 a head it was quite disgraceful. I don’t know what was going on in the kitchen but all the vegetables were really hard. We enjoyed being with our family but will never go back there again. Just one extra warning a service tip is automatically added , we asked to take it off so we could tip accordingly but they said no.

Visiting family for Christmas, so booked an overnight stay. Clean pub, decent food & tidy room. As town centre pubs go pretty overpriced but we knew this before staying. Kitchen & bar staff work very hard, but so short staffed front of house the food service was friendly but very, very slow. Disappointing to see the manager sat enjoying a pint after finishing working when staff were clearly rushed off their feet. Please sort your pub sign out. A windy night but such a creaky sign, a good night’s sleep was challenging ! Served its purpose, but would be reluctant to stay again.

Attended a function staff were really good and it was a good night

A lovely setting but having been twice I should say the service is not very good. Staff seem to be more content on have a chat between themselves rather than attending to customers. We had to wait over 20minutes to take our order and then no further service at our table after we were served. I have read previous reviews and the consensus is generally the same on the service being poor. Food is generally okay although my pork was overdone on this occasion, however, I would have expected better for Amphill prices ! Overall, we won't be going back as there are plenty of other gastro pubs locally, certainly with better service and food and furthermore better access to parking . The owner should consider on reading this and previous reviews and take some action !

Have stayed here many many times for work, the pub, food and breakfast are absolutely amazing, service is open notch! The rooms, well, some are now getting a little tired, and, here’s the best advice, don’t ever stay in room 2! Despite telling them on every unfortunate occasion that I’ve been is this room that the sign outside your window, squeaks and creaks all bloody night keeping you awake, they still have done nothing about it, o even offered one night for one of the staff to hold me hanging out the window of they gave me a tin of WD40! Guys, please just sort the bloody sign out!!!!!

Not cheap but very decent breakfast. Nice and quiet, but great service and very good options for any palate. Would recommend 👍

Very nice hotel rooms were great foid excellent

So shocked after checking my bank account that we have been charged 10% service charge on a bottle of wine. They confirmed there is a service charge even on a pint pulled at the bar. Used to be a great place to go. Not anymore

Me and my family went out to an early Christmas brunch here. The restaurant looked nice. We ordered our food and I ordered the pancakes but I asked specifically to just have yoghurt and syrup (no honey) . Meanwhile the food of the other members at the table said that the food was cold. And my food arrived with honey and granola which i said specifically to the waitress I didn’t want. She got quite ‘sassy’ with me when I told her what I wanted to order. She said she would have to charge me extra if I wanted to change my food. I told her no and that she had to change it. She came back several times and accused me of not ordering the maple syrup pancakes to the other waitress. She said they’re may have been a mix up with the words. So she went to the kitchen brought me back a plate with granola pancakes (which I also didn’t order) and a tiny bit of maple syrup ‘dumped’ on top of the honey which was previously on my plate. So i thought to myself ‘no tip for you’ . I trust she didn’t use her common sense when it comes to simple listening skills and good customer service. I will not be coming back here again. But of course I do understand they were busy and that is the reason this isn’t a 0 out of 5 review.

Wow ! - arrived to a gent in a bowler hat to show us to our table. We ordered a sharing platter and a bottle of wine and made ourselves comfortable by the open fire. The staff are fab and very attentive, great atmosphere - the place was so busy, we will definitely add this place to one of our weekend favourites.

This used to be a great pub/restaurant a few years ago under different management and was the place to meet up with friends for a drink in a smart, clean well run pub . Sadly since then the place has gone downhill ! I tried a visit again recently to see if things had improved, they hadn't ! The place is looking tired and grubby. I also had to return our drinks as the ale was completely off. The drinks were exchanged without fuss and bar staff very friendly but it was disappointing nonetheless. Will not be rushing back anytime soon !

Judging by the amount of negative reviews I’m surprised we gave this place another chance. But with ampthill lights switch on we booked a table for drinks inside. When we arrived our table wasn’t ready, and we were given one in the restaurant instead which wasn’t too much of a problem. Until… We ordered my daughter some food. Beans came out freezing cold, we sent them back and the chef had clearly just thrown them in a microwave until they were almost inedible. Mash came out of a packet. Our food came out wrong, missing things. Other people were sending food back to the kitchen. The staff had no idea what they were going, I actually feel sorry for the girls that work there. They have no support from management and clearly haven’t been given any direct training. This place is an absolute shambles. How long are they doing to continue like this until they take notice of customer feedback and start to change things? The food is terrible!!! Get new chefs and train your staff. It’s such a shame this in the centre of Ampthill when other places could be benefiting instead.

The rooms were okay, but certainly not worth the money charged. Got burnt by the towel rail which was insanely hot, lawsuit waiting to happen there. There were two real issues were the price and the service. Getting served in the main bar was an exercise in patience. Twenty minutes with no one else at the bar. Breakfast in the morning was even worse. Sat at our table for thirty five minutes before we could order, and that was only because i eventually pointed out that we'd been waiting and checkout was in a half hour. Twenty five minutes for a coffee because "we're really backed up on hot drinks". Didn't like it when i pointed out that no one had been near the coffee machine for ten minutes as i was sitting opposite. Went for a wedding and the bride and groom were happy. Fortunately i never have to go back to this place. Avoid.

Had a totally enjoyable overnight stay here...The rooms are beautifully appointed . Dinner was enjoyable although we did have to ask 3 times for some tap water. Breakfast was faultless and the staff a pleasure

Mixed experience regarding the food we ordered from the main menu. My friend's spaghetti bolognaise was very good and cost £14. However, I went for a large portion of fish and chips at £18.00 and was very disappointed. The fish portion looked impressive until I sawed my way through the batter-it was really hard-and found that it consisted of an extremely dried out and thin amount of fish encased in a very large amount of batter. The mushy peas that came with it were also very dry. The chips were excellent. but, really not worth£18.

Nice place in nice village. Even nicer (and efficient) staff, who are truly helpful in any way they can. Room was good, bathroom too. Why one star missing? Too many stairs for my currently messed up right leg ... though it is hard to take it out on the White Hart!

Absolutely disgusting place and so unclean. Tables cluttered with dirty dishes and absolutely no effort made by staff to clean up. We watched 5 different groups enter the resteruant then turn around and leave due to the dirty tables. Staff didn’t bother to offer us a menu even though they knew we were there for food. The menu on the wall outside is completely different to the menu inside and staff were absolutely clueless. Bar top was filthy with spilt drinks and again no effort by staff made to clean it, even though the place was quiet. Went to order food at the bar as we were sick of waiting for waitress to return (even though she promised to clean our table when we arrived, then immediately disappeared, never to return!). When ordering food, they tried to add a £4 service charge to one dish…..even though we were the ones doing all the effort and going to the bar to order ourselves. We immediately cancelled and walked out. Awful, clueless staff who obviously didn’t care, and dirty, unclean place. Won’t be returning!

We came as a family last night, pre booked as it was fireworks and we’re a family of 4. To begin with my husband had to repeat the order 3 times, to come back to the table and tell me how much, working out we’d been over charged. Then had to repeat it for a 4th time. We then got the mains brought to us before the starter. When the mains did arrive they were then cold. After eating our food and sitting with our dirty plates in front of us for about half an hour we had a waiter come and ask if we had any empty glasses, we did he then asked for our 6 year old son to pass them him. I asked if the plates could get cleared and the children’s puddings brought out which we’d ordered at the beginning of the meal. Another 20 minutes passed and nothing had been done. I went to complain and ask again for the pudding and explained everything that had happened since arriving, the waiter even said “that’s abit embarrassing “ I said yes and we wouldn’t be back. It wasn’t even busy as it was only us and another couple there so not sure why everything went so bad but it’s not the experience we were expecting.

Lovely pub with great food. Highly recommended!

Given it about 100 chances, everytime stinks like vomit..staff blame it on the drains behind the bar! Its vile. Good food, 50/50 friendly staff…young attitude on the lads that work there. Only reason anyone ever goes now is because it’s the only place in ampthil. Need to up their game as everyone’s saying the same thing.

The food, as always is great at The White Hart. We didn't have to wait long for it either. The service has been a bit hit and miss recently, but they've definitely turned a corner now as last night the service was exceptional! Our waitress was very attentive, kept checking on us, asked if the food was OK, if we needed more drinks etc.. You could see she clearly loves her job as she was the same with other tables. Thank you for a really enjoyable evening 😊

The food was appalling. I was shocked at what was served. The Calzone Parma contained no filling. It was a calzone pizza contained a lining of thin melted cheese and nothing else. The Parma was simply denoted by a single strip of overcooked prosciutto down...

Great food, great staff…lovely place to stay and eat

Went in for drinks, was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of vomit. We decided to order drinks and sit upstairs away from the smell as it was all around the bar area downstairs. Once seated we were told by a very rude waiter that...

1st trip back since last year when we had a negative experience with service, that visit was on Mother’s Day so put down to that. Unfortunately this experience was even worse than previous. Service was extremely slow and uninterested, wasn’t even that busy at the...

Visited on Saturday, 30th September, with my partner and our 2 year old nephew. After 15-20minutes, the food came out, but we were still waiting on the drinks 10 minutes later. I had to ask for the drinks to be served. The food tasted fine, and we ate most of it. However, on the ride back home (about 1.5 hours after eating the food), our nephew projectile vomited in the car. This happened twice more later that evening. My partner and I didn't feel great either - lethargic and upset stomach. In addition, I went to the loo before leaving the pub and just before the stairs, the area smelt of vomit. My partner noticed the same thing. As of Monday morning, the baby is having a medical check-up as he still has an upset stomach, diarrhea and hasn't eaten since Saturday evening. For us all not to have felt well and eaten different dishes shows something severely wrong.
