This place has so much to offer with the historic building and the beer garden but is sadly going from bad to worse. They announced that they were cutting their prices as a contribution to addressing the credit crunch, but unfortunately the quality of the food and the size of the portions has plummeted faster than the stock market. Our lasagne was so dried out it only filled 2/3 of the dish, which was already what I would consider a 'small appetite' size. The roast turkey was out of a packet rather than an oven and my roast dinner was reminiscent of the worst of the offerings from a pub chain.... sorry, it was worse... I kid you not, there was ONE brussel sprout and the carrots had been round the block a few times. The service was slow and half-baked. This used to be a fine pub-restaurant but urgently requires an injection of quality and care..... do go there to enjoy the environs but you certainly will not enjoy the food! BEST AVOIDED!

6 of us lunched today at Hangleton Manor. Two had jacket potatoes and salad (£4.95 each) and the potatoes were stone cold. Two had lasagne which they agreed were okayish. Two of us chose lemon meringue pies for dessert which we had to return as they were inedible. They were piping hot (unlike the potatoes and quite unusually for lemon meringue!). They had obviously been heated in a microwave as the pastry base was soggy, the lemon filling like glue and the "meringue" topping had reverted back to its pre-cooked state of whipped eggwhite and sugar! It was like eating thick lemon glue! Disgusting and overpriced at £4.50! The service was poor too. The ambience is good and surroundings unique - but the food leaves much to be desired.
