Went there last night .
Had a excellent starter which was  duck pancakes. :D
someone also had a prawn cocktail  which was served in a sunday glass ,which was filled up with lettuce then on top was a tablespoon of prawns. :roll:
two of us then had steak which both was over cooked. :twisted:
two others had the fish and chips,the fish was massive and quite tasty.unfortunatley the fish last night had hell of a lot of bones in . :twisted:
The onions rings were like rubber they were cold and tasted like they had been cooked in dirty oil. :twisted:
for five of us the bill was £57.00 . :roll:
If i was travelling and am hungry then i would prob go there again but i certainly would not if it was for a occassion.
i would sooner go to somewhere,where there is quality over quantity.

the big question is......

DID YOU COMPLAIN at the time???

I certainly would have done! Might have got a reduction off the bill too.

So you would not recommend this place then?? These sorts of places are pretty awful for food in my opinion - the stack the plate high in low quality food brigade. Wasn't there a programme a while back which detailed places like the hungry horse for using Asian Ox instead of British beef because it was less than half the price?

We went there a couple of weeks ago and had and ok meal... no thrills cheap and filled us up.

I have to say i don't really enjoy eating and see it as more of a chore than anything .........

If you want a decent meal and your in the vicinity of the Hungry horse ..... then head to the pheasant just down the road .... it's very nice in there though a little more expensive !
