The Shipping Forecast

We have been eating here now for over two years, at least two- three times a month. The place is always welcoming and relaxing....but the food and it is pub grub is outstanding, always fresh. The Sunday roasts, as they say are like your mums......i always get the roast beef, they get the roasted veg right the mash is lovely and they are over generous with the meat. With great music in the background its a great place to spend your Sunday afternoons. All in all this lovely little bar is highly recommended.

I used to eat at The Shipping Forecast about once every month, and was always very satisfied. However, I visited last week and was extremely disappointed with the standard of the food. I ordered a chicken, bacon and avocado burger with twice cooked Maris Piper chips. The burger was fine, apart from the sliver of avocado. I was very disappointed, however, that instead of twice cooked Maris Piper chips I was served greasy, floppy chips that left the paper underneath almost completely transparent. Some of the chips were almost raw. My friend ordered the fish and chips, which was also very greasy. We shared a side order of onion rings, which would be best described on the menu as just 'rings' as they were mainly chunks of greasy batter, with hardly any onion at all. It's a shame that the standard of food has slipped, as the service and atmosphere cannot be faulted in The Shipping Forecast, and if you're not eating it is a lovely place to have a drink. There is a wide selection of ales, ciders and beers at reasonable prices, and all the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxed. I will definitely be returning, but not to eat.
