😒 3/5 - Underwhelming and disappointing.

We were on holiday for the week locally and enjoyed our meal here last year so much we thought we'd treat ourselves again - it's not exorbitant by any means but it's not the place you'd go on a weekly basis. We didn't read any recent reviews; we didn't think there was a need. The young lady serving was utterly charming and very helpful, the room was warm and cosy, and it was obviously a quiet night by stark contrast to our previous visit. The menu was more limited this time round, and the sides and extras advertised on the website were not printed on the menu we were given. We asked for sides though and got what we wanted. The parfait to start was more of a mousse, beautifully presented but in an earthenware bowl which I know is on trend but how are you meant to get your knife in to put onto your bread? Surely a medium sized plate or slate would make things easier. The bread was very disappointing, almost stale, tasteless and very crumbly - a cross between brioche and focaccia. The beef fillet was tender but almost cold, and the watercress pomme puree stodgy with a skin on top. The trio of pork was very good although the fillet was very chewy and rather dry. The vanilla pannacotta was far too set, had a thick skin on it, and as a trendy twist was served in a bowl. Why? This is just lazy. It should be skinless, cooked in a mould and turned out and have slightly wobbly set - well that's the traditional way. Such a disappointment we didn't stay for coffee and won't be rushing back. By stark contrast we ate the next night at another favourite - The Cider Barn at Pembridge. Similar prices, much more choice and far better food and ambience, it was buzzing. The owner was hands on and very chatty and we had a memorable meal, needless to say we'll be back.
