| I would not recommend this place for anyone to visit for a meal or special occasion. I had not been to this pub before for a meal but my mum had found it and decided to go for my step-dads 50th birthday. With a few of the family there, 10 of us altogether, I had expected a good afternoon for his birthday. My mum had been informed at booking that there would be balloons and a few decorations s it was a birthday - when i arrived there was no such decorations apart from a banner laid on the table beneath all the place mats - had I known this was to be the case I would have taken decorations myself. Upon ordering the meal I was shocked at the choice of food I had been shown a menu before going that had lots of choice which looked quite nice although the options available consisted off three startes, three main meal and approx four deserts. Having ordered the food the starters came around half an hour later even though these were quite simply soup and prawn cocktail once finished we waited for 10 mins for the plates to be cleared then waited an additional 35 minutes for the main meals to be brought out. Once we had finished the main meals which when served looked as though they had something missing off the plate when served, the childrens portions were nearly as big if not bigger than what the adults got and these were served to a two year old and a one year old. Our plates got cleared away and were waiting to be asked for a deserts order and to be told what the deserts were -a fter 15 minutes of waiting I went to find a waitress to order who then came over - once the deserts were ordered they had arrived 30 minutes later. At the beginning a cake had been given to the kitchen to serve with candles at the same time as the deserts this didnt happen during, I believed they may have brought the cake once the plates had been cleared. This didnt happen so after asking the bar staff we were told this would arrive in a few minutes - 5 minutes later a cake came out and got served to another table. So i went up to the bar to ask where the one for my step-dad was as we had been waiting sometime, she went into the kitchen to check and a few minutes later saw her dash out to behind the bar - my sister in law asked what was going on and we were informed the cake had been given to the wrong table and they were going out to buy another one - i said this was unnaceptable as they werent even going to inform us which would have taken another half hour i could expect. The whole meal process had taken over two and a half hours and the pub wasnt even busy there were four tables in there max two of the tables had approx ten people on but the others had two to each, with four staff on serving I thought the wait times were unnecessary and badly managed. I had worked in catering throughout university and had managed more tables than that alone and not caused as many mess ups. My advice for anybody wanting to go out for a nice meal or for an occasion I would strongly recommend you to avoid this place - if looking for a nice place in the area I would advice going to The Old Mill down the road - I only wish I had known sooner what this place had been like - my step-dads birthday was ruined to the lack of good service and everything in general the royal and ancient pub had to offer.[Report for Removal] | Karan M Leeds West Yorkshire |
