We went for a lunch . 1.4.25 3.00pm The bar did not have Pino Grigio as they " were changing their wine list " but we were recommended an Italian Gavi as being similar. When I asked for a tiny taste of this I was refused which I thought was very arrogant. (the barman said he was not allowed to give out tasters) At this point I was not however completely deterred so had a small glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc instead which was nothing special. I had previously looked at their menu on line and chosen a particular dish . It was not available and we were told that they do not regularly update their on line menu. I settled for something else as I had with to do the wine. The meal was also a disappointment , very bland . The waiter/ cook who served us seemed in a rush and totally uninterested ( to say we were the only people eating in the room.) I have been to the Vic many times before but the standards have certainly dropped and I will not be returning. (even to see Kelly's Hero's play and that's saying something ! )

I often meet with friends at The Barn Kitchen for lunch/afternoon tea and it has always been lovely. However, I met with a friend there for a late lunch yesterday and had booked the table for 3pm. I knew they were open until 4.30pm so we assumed we had plenty of time to eat our main course and then have a hot drink and some cake afterwards. We ate our main course and having waited for quite a while for someone to clear our plates and to ask if we wanted anything else, at 10 past 4 we eventually asked one of the staff if we could order something else. He said he would ask and came back and said they had stopped serving and the kitchen was closed. We asked if we could order some cake and a hot drink, even if it was to take outside. He went back and a blonde lady came over and quite abruptly told us they stopped serving food at 3.45 and asked what we wanted. When we told her what our order would have been she said they had run out so we couldn't have had it anyway so we left and got a drink and some cake from the main shop. None of that would have been a problem if the person who took our order had warned us we wouldn't be able to order anything else after 3.45pm as we would have ordered it all at the same time ... or even if the staff had just been a little more polite about the fact the kitchen was closed ... or perhaps just don't accept bookings for 3pm as it gives customers the impression they have longer than they think!
