My friend and I visited The Floating Bridge at lunchtime today. I ordered the dressed crab salad etc £26 and my friend ordered steak kidney pie £19. Mine was delicious but what they served my friend was absolutely, without doubt NOT steak kidney pie. What they served was pork and mushroom pie!!! When you have been making steak kidney pie and pork casserole for 20+ years you tend to ‘know the difference between steak, kidney, mushrooms and pork’. When my friend spoke to the gentleman serving us (not sure if he was the owner/manager) and said that she had pork in her pie and no kidney at all he said no it’s not pork it’s definitely steak kidney. So I tasted it. Yep! Definitely pork. Manager walked past us again. My friend said to him that he needed to speak to his chef re what was actually in the pie she had paid £19 for. He then said quite casually as he passed by its chicken mushroom in the pie. To this manager please note what you served was not chicken mushroom it was pork and mushroom. Please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to tell us otherwise. I suggest you find out what your chef is actually cooking, write it on your board AND charge for it correctly. It would also help if you could apologize for the error that had been made. I dread to think what would happen if someone was served this dish and had an allergy to mushrooms. Even though my friend said that the dish was itself very tasty it is not what was ordered and did not warrant a price tag of £19. Needless to say, we decided not to have the cherry pie here as for all we know the cherries could be masquerading as plums or even something else the chef decides upon.
We were staying next door at the Marina hotel and looking for a dog friendly place to eat with walking distance. This was an ideal venue. We were quickly seated and our orders taken I had a main course of mussels, a huge bowl full of big meaty mussels, and my wife had the rather unusual monkfish goujons. Both mains were really good, possibly a little overpriced but enjoyable nonetheless. Our only disappointment really was that no one came to take orders for desserts; mind you we were pretty full anyway so that was probably no bad thing. Friendly staff and, with a bottle of wine and tip, the bill came to £80. Certainly a place to recommend.
Went here for dinner as family, 7 adults and 3 kids)while staying for week in Dartmouth, This was our last night and needed to be decent We made last minute booking by phone as previous place we had booked did not have a good choice for all family. The food ordered was of very good and the service was very efficient. We had several different dishes from the menu including one special. All were very tasty, well presented and decent portions. Drinks also quite reasonable compared with some of the places we had been during the week. Certainly would eat here again if and when in Dartmouth.
Pleasant place. Nice staff. Worst meal out we think we have ever had. Tapas starter all seemed to be from a budget frozen food shop. The special hake main was totally inedible at £21, fish dried out and sauce hardly cooked so it was sent back and we went home not at all happy.
The staff were extremely accommodating and reassuring and provided me with a very lovely gluten free coeliac friendly Sunday lunch. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Dartmouth. Thank you.
