Good western food and sports TV. The following accounts are from separate visits. Any criticisms are meant to be helpful for both the establishment and its customers and do not mean that the dishes were not worth the price or that I did not enjoy them or would not return for more, as they were and I did and I hate punishment.
The service is efficient and friendly. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of boxing on the TV on Monday when the board outside specifically mentions that as a feature of Monday's provision.
I particularly enjoyed the free desserts on Mondays but they only come with a limited list of Mains.
The fish and chips were average because the fish was watery, mushy and tasteless even though prepared well. The apple crumble with ice cream was massive and delicious, although the crumble was rather soft and not crispy, I guess due to microwaving - just a few mins under a grill or air fryer would solve that.
The beef stroganoff was standard fare and the chocolate mousse rather hard and bland in taste, but I still enjoyed eating both.
The pork spare ribs were very good, if a bit over sauced and the blueberry cheesecake a delight, although the crust was very hard due to overbaking and the accompanying cream rather frothy and tasteless.
The Fraser's big breaky is excellent and very filling. The lamb madrass is very good especially as it comes with extra crunchies and chutney. However, the breakfasts do not come with a free dessert on Mondays and the beverage provided with the breakfast cannot be exchanged for plain water.
The beef Wellington was iffy. The beef and accompanying veggies were very good but the pastry was soft and pasty - only partly cooked. The 'Big banana split' was disappointingly small and rather unappetising.
