The Alice Hawthorn, Nun Monkton

Well they say don't over-anticipate. We hoped for much from the refurbished Alice Hawthorn but alas it was a very disappointing experience; very drab menu, half of which seemed to be unavailable, wine not properly kept, restaurant diners overlooked by hassled waitresses as they dealt with a rowdy function in a separate room. Pub couldn't be in a nicer spot, so we may revisit the village, but certainly not the pub. A most dispriting evening.
