Food overall was a disappointment. We visited for a midweek dinner. It was the first night of a set menu so maybe the quality of food wasn’t what it normally is. We haven’t eaten there before only had drinks so can’t compare. The crispy prawn starters were nice, they didn’t appear homemade so hard to go wrong but were tasty. Olives breads came with a dipping oil, it didn’t really taste like olive oil was just a pot of oil. Normally it would have balsamic or flavoured but this tasted like sunflower oil. The fish chips ranked the best of the mains. I opted for pan fried Sea Bass on a bed of baked baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes spinach. The sea bass was nicely cooked would have been nice with a slight crisp to the skin but that’s personal preference. The mint salsa had big chunks of cold pepper with mint salsa, didn’t really compliment the dish. However the baked baby potatoes weren’t baby potatoes but quartered potato. Some were hot some cold. I asked if the potatoes are made in advance and reheated. I was told they had been ‘cooked fresh’ for me. I’ll let you decide if they look freshly cooked to you I said about them not being a consistent temperature was told they might have been sat under the lamp. No apology or alternative offered. Had the potatoes been reheated I would’ve understood. They were cooked through which is surprising to say they were baked especially for me in the timeframe. Husband had a sirloin steak it was ok, nothing to write home about. Child had a pizza from the kids menu. Again it was ok, decent size but just a cheap pizza with minimal topping. The kids shared a Brownie which they said was ok. Nice decor it’s lovely in summer but I wouldn’t go back for food. The staff were friendly especially the young man who served us most of the night. Drinks orders were relatively quick too. I’m a frequent google reviewer I don’t take leaving reviews like this lightly but I do like to be honest. If you’re a trader at the fairground it could be right enough if you take in convenience of the location to the showground but expect mediocre at best food. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
