"We called in after Ampton races, as we had before, and managed to secure a table. It was busy. We both ordered a roast. I am fussy about my vegetables, and cannot abide red cabbage nor cauliflower cheese on the plate, so enquired as to what was coming out. The young man affirmed that both were on the dish, so I asked they be brought out separately, which he said wouldn't be possible. WHY?? Plates came out, roast beef, roast potatoes and Yorkshire were perfect, but the bowl of veg, with 5 different elements in a cereal sized bowl, all crowded and my 2 unwanted elements spoiling the rest was just annoying. To cap it off, the carrots were cut too large and undercooked, and had gone brown at one end. Then my guest discovered a hair in her roast chicken... All of this was fed back to the server at the end of the meal, and she deducted my guest's dish from the bill, which is fair enough. However, if the arrogant young man who took our order had listened to my preference, at least the vegetables would have been more manageable to put on the plate... So disappointing, as our previous visit in January was faultless."
