Recently, passed by the Labor club and dropped in. It was a slow, Saturday afternoon with few people around. Chose two lunch specials - bangers and mash for Mrs and so called rump steak for me. We don't expect gourmet cuisine for these prices but what we did get was the worst pub lunch in our memories.
The 'bangers' and mash proved to be a lump of solid mashed potato with a single, sorry, dried up banger 'butterfly' cut in two halves, seemingly to take up space.
I ordered rare steak, but cooking made no difference to this strange cut which was almost half gristle. With a couple of very sorry looking chips to keep it company. Of course, no salad or veg with either.
Serving staff could see the problem and were sympathetic. The vibe from the Chef/Cook was that it was only the lunch special.
Disappointed a couple of times here before - dining has become too hit and miss. Like others who have commented, we are still happy just to drop in for a drink - always good reception service, bar service and facilities - but eating is now 'off our menu'.
In view of some other recent reviews, management should step up.
Sorry to have to comment like this.
