    My son is allergic to milk, eggs and nuts. The pub was very busy with rugby on and a wedding party upstairs. Our waitress was attentive and came back to ask a question about my son's allergies when she was unsure, which I appreciated. However when the food arrived (steak and chips) it had a sauce on, even though I had requested no sauce. I asked the manager what the sauce was and he went to find out but didn't come back. We waited, while our food was getting cold, until eventually I had to go and find him. He checked with the kitchen and it was safe for my son (although he didn't like it, but he was able to scrape it off) but it left us feeling uncomfortable and angry about the service.

    I called ahead and was reassured the chef would be able to make something suitable for my son. When we arrived staff were incredibly friendly. We booked a meal for three at 5pm and there was a wedding upstairs. Staff explained the kitchen was behind and offered us free drinks to compensate which was very kind. My son is allergic to milk, eggs and nuts and we asked if the chef would prepare the steak, chips and salad without his allergens which the chef agreed to. Thank you chef! Unfortunately the steak (ribeye) was a little dry and tough so he couldn’t finish it but it was safe for him to eat. He loved the chips! He was also offered a mixed berry sorbet for pudding, which wasn’t on the menu, and was much appreciated.
