2 /5 Chrissy Tyler: Good views, spacious and lots of seating. We were grateful that we could be seated earlier than our initial booking… but the food was absolutely diabolical. I have been to the salt quay several times before and have always had a positive experience but regretfully it is unlikely I will return.
We ordered a roast and it arrived approx 1 minute after ordering. It was clearly reheated, though given it came out within 1 minute of ordering on the app it is unlikely to of even been reheated fully - which was confirmed with the food being cold. Lumpy gravy, a dry piece of chicken slapped on the plate, the tiniest bit of stuffing and cauliflower cheese. Cold soggy vegetables, all tasteless I couldn’t even finish it. I would have mentioned something to the staff, if you could grab their attention. We weren’t asked how our food was and when the plates were taken, was again not asked how it was - in which I would’ve given an honest review.
Next up was dessert, I was a little hesitant but I thought surely it can’t be any worse than the roast - I had sticky toffee pudding that was actually quite nice, but the custard was cold. My mother (for her birthday treat) had a lemon tart - firstly, I’m not sure a lemon tart should be illuminous green, and I’m sure it’s not meant to have the consistency of play dough, or wallpaper paste. It tasted extremely artificial and again, could not be finished. The table was also dirty and the menu had old food over it.
Overall, this was a real let down and I do feel sorry for the tourists who would come to this pub to try a classic British roast dinner. Nonetheless, it is a good spot for day drinking and socialising - but avoid the Sunday roast dinners (and lemon tarts) - it’s not worth the money or calories and I wished I could’ve got my money back.
