went today for a change and because we had rememberd it was quite a good pub, we went in and initially liked the greeting and we were told there was a specials board. i glanced at it and although had initially gone for a sandwich decided to try the lancashire hotpot which i often enjoy living in lancashire. it was priced at 9pounds and i thought it must be good at that price:) what arrived was a dismal slop with a crust on top and i instantly regreted my order. thinking it may taste better i lifted the crust off and discoverd a layer or mince beef and what looked like the left over potatoes from yesterday. As a lancashire hotpot is made with lamb i looked at the board and noitced a mince meat and potato pie so i assumed i had been given the wrong order. The waitress informed me that that was not the case and the chef had just made it with beef. i said that means it isnt a lancashire hotpot, she said she would correct the menu board and walked off. I explained to her that i had ordered a lancashire hotpot and expected to receive that. I had to ask for a change of meal which she was reluctant to do and i decided on the piripiri chicken on a bun. she told me that it may be very spicy in a sarcastic manner and that pirpiri chicken means different things at different places. I said i knew what piripiri chicken was and she slopped off. What arrived as my replacement meal was as bad as the first. A frozen style chicken breat that you may get from tesco, heated up and sat on a bun..this was 7pounds. The experirnce was dreadful, i went in a good mood and left deflated, ripped off and although i dont usually write reviews was compelled to do so.
