David's Reviews

We went to the Old Dairy for Sunday Lunch yesterday. Upon being seated we were told there would be a short delay of about 5-10 mins as the kitchen was snowed under. An hour later we were still awaiting our starters. People all over the restaurant were complaining vocally and with good reason. Main courses took a full 40 mins from the starters being cleared away. Their solution… some free Olives! How generous.
One thing that has annoyed me with several Gastro Pubs recently is the excuse that they are too busy.. If they cannot handle it, then surely they need to reduce their covers? If they want the cash, provide the service!
To be fair, when the food arrived it was very good. Nothing flash, but well prepared, fresh ingredients and generous portions. Roast Beef was a genuine highlight. Thick slices, Tender, Medium rare, and very well presented. Even then though, the side of Chips we ordered arrived when we had nearly finished everything else. Surely 90 mins is enought time to cook some Chips?!?!
To top it all off they overcharged me on the bill by about 6 pound. When I pointed this out the look I got making me out to be tight just summed the place up. I begrudge paying for crap.. I certainly dont overpay for it.
Overall, nice looking venue, decent food. Unfortunately, the entire experience was ruined by incompetence. Dont waste your money, there is a Weatherspoons down the street that would do a far better job.
