Had an opportunity to go for dinner and it was recommended by a work colleague. Unfortunately although explaining about food preferences (non dairy) and being assured that we were heard, our entree came (after 90 minutes, it was busy, but the beer was good) with cheese and butter (the Terracotta potatoes and Turkish bread). The bread was finally substituted with white toast and garlic, even though I did say that the Turkish bread on its own would be fine ?? Another entree of pork dumplings were okay according to our eldest. Entrees over eventually we received our mains. The steaks were good, mine nicely cooked but one came with a strange grey sauce instead of the grilled onions requested. The pasta (without cheese) was good and flavoursome. The chicken burger was a hit and the Pad Thai noodles (without chicken and egg) "yummy". One thing going for all the food was that it was hot on arrival.
Some of the service lacked obviously in translation to the kitchen on preferences but the most unimpressive was not what we expected from a country club, and we have been to a few, was the obsenities that were expressed under breath from our server (and we did hear!!!) when we questioned the dairy and did not do anything for the bowling club. The other two servers, clearing tables were polite and efficient, they do the club proud.
Overall, disappointing, especially when customers are trying to support the local community.
