                                      The Sunday roast - advertised as the best in Bath certainly didn’t live up to the hype. I had the beef which was cooked med rare. The meal was just okay with an over cooked and stale Yorkshire pudding These could be seen in the kitchen piled up in tray having obviously been cooked some time before and not even warm. A mediocre experience at best aside from the desert special which was very good.
