"Lovely Pub in the Village of Penmark, the Dining Room is very modern with a lovely welcoming Log Fire and the Staff Greetings were to be recommended. Shame after such a warm greeting that this establishment whilst having all the hallmarks of producing a Great Standard of Service,, simply did not deliver, both in Service and Menu. Having selected our meals and been served our Main Meal, once eaten we could have walked out without anyone noticing, staff really took there eye of the ball here whilst everything else in the restaurant had a more urgent priority. The Main Meals scored really well, 4 of us dined here and in fairness everything was good to go. I had the Sirloin Med Rare which was delicious, but I was not quite sure why it was served with Half a Burnt Onion ? Perhaps that is an idea to far ? Desert Menu was for us a complete non starter, the lack of choice and poor selection was obvious and no Cheese Board was offered which would have made up for the poor choices. If you do as I did and order the ice cream be prepared as it was 2 tiny eye balls of ice cream served in a child's dish, no trimmings, nothing ! not even a choc or raspberry sauce or a wafer !!! Finally who serves Capuccino without Chocolate Sprinkles, it really ended up tasting like a Flat White Coffee. Would we return, maybe, but not to sure it would be on a Saturday evening and not until they had a New Desert Menu. Could be 5 stars all day long, with a couple of tweaks and some staff training.
