I went to the restaurant for lunch, having eaten here 4 years ago. I was saddened to see what an air of neglect the outside of the building now has. Even the inn sign was so badly faded you could hardly read it. I tried to reassure myself that the food and inside would not disappoint. Disappoint it did. We sat in the conservatory where flies if they werent already dead on the window sill, were in abundance. The fish bar was a particular attraction to the bistro, on commenting on the number of flies we were told 'we are in the country its inevitable'. If so why not cover the fish bar?! We started with the atrichoke soup, which was overseasoned. I had a opkayish risotto and my companion a burnt seafood pancake (basically salmon sardines- yes sardines- and some non descript white fish) in a sloppy sauce. I did comment on this and was told 2 headchefs had recently left. It showed. We also thought £5.50 for a glass of 175ml house wine was excessive. If our lunch was an example of their cusine, the glory days of the McCoy brothers are sadly over.
