"Went for dinner on the 7th of October to celebrate my partners birthday. Started off with a lovely Nigroni for myself and a gin and tonic for my partner but unfortunately was downhill from there. We ordered our food with the waitress, explaining that I was dairy intolerant, I ordered and the waitress checked with the kitchen that what I had ordered could be done dairy free. We also ordered a bottle of wine so that it had time to open up while we finished our drinks. No wine appeared. I had the duck terrine to start and my partner and I shared some sourdough. We asked for some balsamic and oil to go with the bread for myself but this was forgotten and did not get picked up until we had nearly finished our starters. The terrine was bland and did not seem like much care had gone into making it. The plum chutney was overly spicey and the celeriac slaw consisted of some raw celeriac dressed with what seemed like just pure lemon juice. The toasted bread was missing from the plate. I left over half the dish, the waitress that cleared the table asked if the dish was okay and I said that I did not really enjoy it. We then asked for our wine which had been forgotten about. My partner had the beef cheek for main. The beef cheek itself was well executed, it was served with a horseradish mash but unfortunately this was under seasoned. Also on the dish were three tiny florets of over cooked broccoli. This meant that the whole dish was one texture and boring. I had the venison for main, the haunch was cooked nicely and the cabbage was okay, but the scotch egg was split down the side, rare and cold in the middle. That was unpleasant to eat and I left it. I asked the waitress if it was meant to be served like that and she told me that it was meant to be served rare but that should have been explained For dessert, my partner had the creme brulle. This was nice. I had the bakewell which was okay but the sponge was dry. Again I did not finish the plate. The bill came with no change based on any of the feedback I had given, I did not want to complain further as my partner and I don 't get out often and I did not want to spoil our evening. We were expecting a similar service to the Woodspeen being its sister resteraunt but sadly it was no where near the mark. Overall a very disappointing evening."
