The Giants Rest, Wilmington

We went to the Giants rest for our Christmas dinner with some friends and were surprised to see how quiet it was.... that is until the end of the evening when it became quite clear as to why there were very few customers at what should be a very busy time.
The food was average, certainly nothing to write home about, and the menu was very expensive with not a lot of choice.
The service was attrocious and we had to ask someone to come and clear our table as the staff were more interested in chatting than looking after their customers.
Overall a very dissappointing evening and definatly would not visit again!!

I would definatly have to agree with Jocadasa, there is no way that mercredes77 was at the Yew tree Arlington, I have never had to wait for the excellent service that they provide, the staff are always very attentive and always aknowledge you as you come in!
As for being told to sit down and wait for your order to be taken..... all food and drink are ordered at the bar in my experience, and its always been a very efficiant way of working as all the menus are written up at the bar!
I can only presume that it is a different pub, I will definatly continue to visit the Yew Tree, its the best pub in the area for food without a doubt!
Couldn't fault the staff or the food, you can see why they are always so busy!
