Previously going to Tipputs was an experience not to be found anywhere else. Locally sourced veg and meat, tenderly cooked with that twist of fine dinning not to be found in any other gastropub. Now, it a sub-normal pub. The food is bland and has the same care taken to it as a microwaved meal. The scallop starter was so salty you couldn't taste the tender flavours and the chickens apricot sauce was so sweet I couldn't bare to have dessert. All in all change is not good for Tipputs! Bring back the old chef and the old menu. Recession I hear you scream? No! Reconstituted meat!
