Came to this pub for dinner a few nights ago, after reading great reviews and thinking it was a “bit of me”. Decided on what to have before I got there. The goats cheese tart starter was absolutely delicious. I really thought it was setting a high president for the rest of the meal and felt very excited. The waitress explained that they didn’t have the mixed meat pie left, but instead had beef shin. This had my attention straight away as beef is my favourite meat, and you can never go wrong with a homemade pie. Or so I thought. Upon receiving the main, I looked at it and thought it looked beautiful. That’s until I cut into the pie, only to be faced with a load of grey, anemic , dry meat. The only gravy in sight was the gravy covering the veg. I asked for an extra pot of gravy, mostly to try to avoid choking on said dry pie. Yet I still was not put off. Nothing a bit of gravy can’t fix. That was, until I came across what I can only think of to be a femoral artery. Sitting there, proud as punch staring up at me with not a care in the world (I know dead cows don’t have feelings). STILL trying to be kind and justifying the extra surprise in my pie I thought ‘maybe I was the lucky one getting the femoral artery?’. Having slowly consumed the pie whilst trying not to fixate on the fact it was hidden in my napkin, I felt proud of myself for managing and not complaining. The starter was delicious, so what’s a femoral artery between friends? Surely pudding would be better? Well I was wrong. I ordered the clementine pannacotta dessert, pannacotta being another one of my favourite dishes. Only to be greeted with what I can only describe as a whiskey tumbler full of pot pourri. The taste was not pleasant and when I finally got to the pannacotta, it had less wobble on it than a stick insects derrière. Not my idea of a pannacotta and the way it was served in a tumbler was just weird in my opinion. The pub was a nice pub, the starter was fantastic. But please, sack or have strong words with whoever is in charge of quality control so there aren’t any nasty surprises in pies and please just serve the different aspects of the pannacotta dessert on a plate, not all smushed into a glass. £140 wasn’t too bad for a nice starter though 🤦🏻♀️
