Truly awful service with an air of indifference.
Given that it was a bit of a special "thing", you had to get tickets and it was a closed house, you think they'd be somewhat nice to their customers. Throughout, the waitress did not crack a smile. When asked if they could do an Old fashioned, "No" was all we got.
Food was not memorable but I will try, prompted by the Another Mag article.
Yorkshire pudding - cold, small, gravy too salty.
Cornish Pasty - way way too salty
Rock oyster with Maldon stout and beef cheek pie - way way too salty
Heritage Potatoes - great, their best dish.
Pressed leg of corn-fed chicken - I enjoyed the chicken, cauliflower was nothing special, but my friends was a bit raw, in the state before fibers form from cooking chicken.
Fishcake - very nice in itself. Deconstructed tartare looked nice but tasted average.
Pork Belly - meat itself was perfect, gravy was WAY too salty
British crème brûlée - oily, it split.
Scone - dry dry dry. Tea jelly very nice.
Cheese on toast - very sure I could do better.
So I went to Pied Nus - This is England on Monday Night.

Went through many bottles of water.
