Went for a works christmas lunch, there were eight of us in total (one lefts after main), one ordered a starter (this took over 30 mins to arrive (terrine). Then we waited for our mains, and waited, drinks ran dry, we waited some more. Finally the main came, most of us had festive menu, turkey was cold, requested extra gravy and were given a tiny pot for the table. We tried to clear the table a bit in an attempt to move things along. Dessert was eventually ordered we had to chase this and we said the food was slow and some of the people in the party couldn’t put their feet down as the floor was so dirty, was advised that this was from breakfast. The lady serving advised that they were short staffed and would check where the desserts were. Returned to advise we hadn’t been waiting as long as we had said, but the crumbles would be 7 minutes to cook as they go through the pizza oven. Crumbles came out and I’m unsure if the pizza oven was off when they put them through, but mine was luke warm and completely cold in the middle. The accompanying custard was more like a shot to drink alongside, certainly not adequate amount for the crumble. We paid and left disappointed. The whole meal took 2.5 hours! It’s a shame because the setting was really nice.
