Put on a 4 person table for 7 people to start then moved when space came available. Food was good. service was a bit poor. Beware of the charge of £18.10 for over 6 people it's on the menu just under the dog menu part.
Terrible Experience. We have been here on numerous occasions and previously reviewed The Blue Pig. I have now updated my 5star rating as the experience on this occasion fell far short of an acceptable level for that rating. When we walked in there was no greeting from any of the staff although they didn't look busy, we sat down at a slightly sticky table and commented on the fusty smell. Nobody came to the table although it was supposed to be table service, we had to ask for menus which were eventually dumped on the table, we were NOT asked if we wanted drinks and she was gone quicker than she came. A few minutes late she came back to take our orders but as we were not quite ready she raised her eyes and walked off. When our food orders were taken (without writing it down) a steak 'well done' with a pepper corn sauce and a chicken tikka to which I was asked 'if that was the curry? We were NOT asked if we had any Food Allergies. When the meals arrived the steak was charred around the edges and had a miniscule piece of grilled tomato and an onion ring which was under cooked and the pepper corn sauce was just like beef gravy and very salty. The Tikka was pieces of chicken in a watery orange liquid and the popperdoms were so salty as to be inedible and the rice was sticky. David the owner did come to the table to ask if everything thing was ok but wasn't interested in putting anything right or apologizing but did say ' I'll let chef know'. This was a special occasion which is why we had returned to The Blue Pig with high hopes for food and service that we had come to know before Covid lockdown. We would have had desserts and drinks and probably coffee just like we used to but we just wanted to make a fast exit so paid at the bar as we had not yet had the bill, he still made no attempt to acknowledge any of the issues. I expect to become a 'key board warrior' now I have expressed my findings in writing for others to read although David was given the opportunity at the table to improve the situation he appears to be out of his depth when dealing with constructive criticism. This is my personal findings and disappointment. We will never come back whilst under this ownership.
The young man that served us was lovely. We ate here and loved it so much that we have been back several times since. Gorgeous old little pub with a fire. Sunday dinner was excellent, but my favourite is sausage and mash.
Lovely food but be careful if you want to double up on a child's meal, as this blows the waitresses mind. What I actually got was a child's meal and a starter portion, meaning my child got less food but I was charged more! Work that one out.
Brilliant Sunday dinner. Slightly disappointed that the bar staff slammed the meal down on the table which spilt the food on the table
