The Crabtree Tavern

food all seems to come out of a packet and a pretty dire packet at that

We visited the Crabtree today following a walk by the river. We were looking forward to it as have often walked past it and live not too far away. Unfortunately it ruined an otherwise lovely sunny day. We were warned by the waiter that our order would take 40 minutes but after waiting over an hour we had to complain as the food still hadn't arrived. When it finally did, my steak and ale pie was rock hard and my husband's fish and chips was dire. We wished we had read the other reviews here before going. All around us people were complaining or getting their money back. I certainly would not return despite the location.

The Crabtree relies too much on its glorious location, which hides a multitude of sins. The food goes from bad to worse. In fact it is a joke. One should not have to wait for an hour for a simple salad. However, the bar staff do their best without proper management. If it wasn't for the garden and the riverside location, I would not give this establishment the time of day, despite it being my local!
