The Fountain, Parkend

We visited, Saturday evening 10th Oct 2009.
There were 14 of us in our party.
We were put in their TV room, which we had to ourselves, however, this was not in character with the pub. Aviod this room if you can, at all costs.
The pub itself on the other hand, was good and we enjoyed the beer. Landlady very sociable.
But, the food !! Oh dear..............
The consensus of opinion was, a place to avoid eating in.
I had the Lamb Shank, meat very tough and only half of it was edible, sauce was like wall paper glue and so little of it. My wife had the 'Pan fried Sirloin', there was no evidence that it was pan fried, just a grey lump of dry meat on her plate. Our potatoes were under-cooked, the rest of the vegatables very bland and over cooked.
I will not pass on comments from the others in our party, maybe they will add their own reviews.
We could have complained I know, (maybe we've got the British disease of not complaining !!). But we had spent all day out walking in the forest and were just starving.
I will not be so lenient with any managment in the future.
