We were a party of 6. The soup was cold on top and just warm on the bottom. Not much taste either. We ordered 6 roasts, 4 chicken supreme, 1 beef and 1 All the meats. The beef was inedible, it was hard to cut and very chewy. Also, for £19 I expected more than a very small piece of beef that I couldn't eat. On the All the meats roast, they couldn't eat the beef either. And he didn't touch the vegetables. The vegetables were not hot and the cauliflower cheese was mushy. We mentioned the beef and the cauliflower cheese to the staff and they took my beef off the bill and 1 of the cauliflower dishes. The service was very good.

In many pubs, the Xmas lunch is not as good as the rest of the year but I was very happy with the quality of the Xmas lunch today. All 3 of my courses were very good and everyone at the table seemed happy too. My only suggestion would be to add a small piece of bread or toast with the salmon mousse.
