Went with friends for lunch, they have visited numerous times, for us our second visit. We secured a large table near the entrance and we’re welcomed by a pleasant waiter who took our drinks order. We ordered our food from a waitress, who came straight back and said the focaccia was off the menu, and then again, minutes later saying the alternative ordered anchovies was also off. The explanations from the waitress were robotic and indicated a certain lack of planning in the kitchen. We eventually ordered the sausage roll with black pudding to share between two, and breaded whitebait, not on the menu, again shared. For mains we ordered 3 fish chips and mushy peas, and 1 sea bass won’t samphire. After a short wait the starters arrived , both were tasty and well presented. The minute we finished our sausage roll, one sea bass and one fish and chips arrived, before our starter plates had been removed. Our friends were still finishing their starters when there mains arrived !! The waitress said it was because we had ordered starters from the whilst you wait section of the menu !! A more accurate answer would have been poor organisation and communication between the serving staff and the kitchen staff. The food was quite good apart from the chunky chips and the lack of samphire with the sea bass. We spoke with the manager before paying the bill and she apologised and reduced the bill by £20. We appreciated the gesture, however, it took the enjoyment out of what should’ve been a pleasant lunch with friends, not fast food !! Last time we were there highly recommended, this time not so much.
