We arrived at 5.45 for our reservation at 6pm, we were told our table number and left to find it on our own. Would have been good practice to be taken to our table. The order was taken straight away but it was 45minutes before our starters arrived, have to say the starters were good. We then waited and waited for our main meals, after about 30 mins the waitress came and asked us to confirm if we had had our starters as the kitchen for some reason had done them again? A man then came over and said our mains were now being cooked, this was now another 30mins or so later, he did compensate us with a drink each on the house. Still we waited and eventually the mains arrived. My husband had the peri peri chicken and it was awful, it had been flattened that much it was the thickness of a piece of cardboard, they had over cooked it so much that it was inedible, and in places black where burnt, his peas were like bullets needless to say he left it. I had rag pudding and it was bland, looked like and tasted like a frozen processed pudding not very appetising. When we came to pay the man asked us if everything ok to which we replied not really and explained why to which he replied I don’t know what’s happening because there were 5 of them in the kitchen. We thought after reopening that there would have been an improvement all round sadly mistaken. We will not be going back
