The Bat And Ball Inn

After having had an operation on my face and not feeling my best I decided to go to have my dinner at the Old Elm. I have been there before on many occasions and in general the food was okay although far from perfect.

Visited on a Monday evening, was nice to find a place that serves food on a Monday as a lot places don’t nowadays. Hadn’t booked but were seated in good time and served at the table. Had the Monday special of a curry and a drink for £8.50. Very big portions and homemade curry was very tasty and very good Value for the price paid

Dreadful service and arrogance from the management. Refused to serve desserts after 8 :30 . Only interested in the quiz and not in the customers the owner was particularly rude will not be going back there again
