The Watermans Arms, Eton

Visited on a quiet weekday lunchtime (handful of customers only) and had to wait nearly 40mins for a simple scampi and chips, and a ham and cheese omelette with chips. Chips tasted old and reheated, and salad was dry and tasteless and forgotten completely until reminded. Also was told they had run out of simple basics like Tartare sauce too.

This could just be put down to a an unlucky or just a poor dining experience. Unfortunately, things got worse three hours later when my mother who had been unable to finish the whole omelette meal as it tasted unappetising, developed stomach pains half an hour after leaving the pub, which developed into feeling unwell and nauseous, and eventually having to be sick repeatedly on a public London train.

She took a full 24hrs to make full recovery which is not great when you are 75yrs of age. Safe to say we will not be returning, and are grateful it was not any worse with eggs being involved in the incident.
