"It was my birthday so we decided to go to the Farmers Arms as before lockdown it had been a lovely experience. Today however was a real disappointment. We had informed the restaurant before we went we had three vegans, two of which are dietary...requirements due to medical conditions. My first confusion was why allow you to book a table at but not open the restaurant doors until and leave your diners in the pouring rain and very strong winds. We were then sat at our table by kitchen staff as there was a shortage of waiting staff. The waitress then came over and took our drinks order and asked if we were all having Carvery. We asked for meat and vegan Carvery as we had been informed and confirmed that there were vegan options. The waitress told us that there were no vegan options as they had been unable to get the ingredients to make a vegan option but they could have the vegetables and yorkshire puddings as a vegetarian Carvery which was suitable for vegans at the childs rate. We were given our ticket and we went to choose and collect our dinner. There was a choice of vegetables, the cauliflower was covered in cheese sauce so down to vegetables. The sweet potato mash had been mixed with butter. The stuffing had been mixed with meat, don't understand if you made one with meat why you couldn't make some without. The Meat option was not the best and only warm and not hot and as we were the first diners of the day good luck to anyone else eating there today. My daughter ended up with three items on her plate. As we had informed them before hand of the need for vegan options I don't understand why they did not contact us before hand so we could make an informed decision to dine there or go else where. We did have a table booked for the December but have cancelled this and the person who took this call could not give a damn. Would strongly advise eat else where."

"Seems to be going downhill which is a real shame. We visited yesterday and the service was appalling. Our meals were pretty much thrown down on the table and the waitress walked away. There was an empty glass right in front of her nose, but no offer of getting another drink. We flagged down another waitress to ask for salt, sauce and drinks. She didn’t seem interested either. Our drinks arrived 10 minutes later but went to the table next to us. When the guests explained that they didn’t order them, the waiter took them away. He didn’t check to see if they were for anyone else. We again flagged down a grumpy waitress to explain the situation and she reordered the drinks. Another 5 minutes and they arrived. The waitress said she’d put through a large coke rather than a small and hoped that “would be ok”. She knew she had made a mistake but there was no attempt to rectify it or apologise. Coke costs pennies so why not just charge us for a small? We were too thirsty to make a big deal out of it. The food was ok, not that anyone checked. It could have been awful and nobody would know. The chips were majorly over cooked and the roast barely had any gravy though. At no point did we see a manager so no wonder the standards are so poor. We had to go to the bar to pay the bill as the usual card machine apparently wasn’t working. Again, nobody was interested if we’d had a good meal or not. When we left we walked past no less than threes waitresses and none of them said thank you or goodbye. We’ve been going here for years, but I don’t think we’ll go again now. Such a shame."
