I visited the pub twice last week, once with a friend and second time with family, both days were very sunny, the pub inside and out was very quiet and there seemed to be at least 2 members of FOH staff working. On our first visit myself and my friend made our way indoors to order as there was no menu on the tables or signage to explain if it was table service or order at the bar. We went to the bar area and as we were inside we just ordered there, a club baguette and a fish finger sarnie (baguette so maybe shouldnt call it a sarnie). We then made our way back out side but struggled to find somewhere to sit as the garden area has ridiculous plastic/faux leather seat and table toppers plus they are situated under the wrong king of coverage that attracts heat rather than shelters it. We ended up in the top corner which is covered with perspex and seats around 8 people (there was 2 of us). Out food arrive pretty quickly and the sever was very pleasant (blond hair) she asked if we canted sauce then went to retrieve it, my club baguette was very odd as it had avocado and crispy onions on rather than Lettuce and tomato. I said to the girl and she just laughed it off and said our shef is baulgarian or polish or something and walked away. I was left stunned but didn't take it any further, took of the bits it didn't want and eat my baguette and drank my beer. I thought £42 for 2 baguettes and 2 beers was a bit of an expensive lunch. The next day we had been out walking with family who are local and we stopped of withfor a drink and a light bite to eat. There was 6 adults and 4 children. Asmy family had been the week previous they were aware of the children eat for £1 per eating adult. We made out decisions on what we wanted and when the server came she then advised us we could not get this offer from the lunch time menu (although they did the week before) we needed a little more time to decide what to do as it was lunch time we didn't want to eat off the Al a carte menu. We decided just to get a couple of share items for the adults and get an adults plain cheese burger and one kids meal to make use of the deal but just to share both of these between the 4 children. I made sure the server (young, black hair) knew it was a plain cheese burger and I even asked if it came with side salad which she confirmed so I asked if there could be no dressing on it. It took a really long time for the small amount of food to come out and by this time the kids were really unsettled, there was only one other table so really un acceptable. Straight away I noticed that the burger was chicken and there was no salad it was coleslaw. The sever was adamant we ordered the chicken royal as that's what she written down, I assured her this was not the case as I asked for cheese only and salad? She proceeded to say it was us to us what to do as the kids were unsettled it would take some more time to get the new one and the chef decided that burgers now come with coleslaw. The c
