So we know it’s a spoons and expect the normal form of decent beer, slight lack of atmosphere and food that starts the day frozen and lands at the table just about edible! But this place throw in the added lack of taste challenge let me explain! So I order steak and chips plus a beer, all arrives in good time, served by pleasant member of staff who asks if I would like anything else, ‘salt and vinegar’ I reply. I get the usual spoons reply that it’s in the corner, with an eyes down mention that I might struggle for salt. I walk to the advised condiment corner and find vinegar but no salt. I enquire at the bar and I’m told ‘sorry we only have one salt and it must be out’ slightly disbelieving I ask ‘so are you going to walk around the pub and find it for me, or do you want me to?’ the bar tender shrugged and mumbled we just haven’t got any mate (he mentally scanned through the ‘Brexit’ snd ‘covid’ excuses and thought better of it). Disappointed but not yet broken by the lack of customer service (and salt), I returned to my table, to think up another tactic. I returned to the bar, to be greeted by a different bar tender who had witnessed the first exchange. I asked for a full refund due to lack of taste. The the reply was swift and clear ‘if you can’t have salt you are going to request a full refund’ following the yes answer, she clearly made the calculation of how long the refund would take against actually finding the salt and stomped off in search. To be fair, 2 minutes later the salt was duly delivered with a warning that it was the only one in building. Anyway if you want food without salt or just a bit of general fun to find salt, this is the place for you if not probably best avoided!
