The Danson Stables, Danson Park

we went to Danson Stables today and the service was appalling.
We were told there would eb an hour wait for food, which we accepted as it was a bank holiday even though we were puzzled as there were so many empty tables.
As i had my 2 year old daughter with me we ordered some bread an oil thinking this would come almost straight away and would see us all through the hour and stop her from getting bored. After ordering we were told that the bread could not come any earlier than the food and we would also have to wait an hour for this!!
After an hour and ten minutes we were starting to think about asking how much longer when i noticed that the people that had ordered after us had their food and were already pretty much half way through it! I went and asked where our food was to be told it was just coming.
2 minutes later mine and my daughters food was brought out, the vegeatble on my lamb shank were barely cooked, let alone the summer roasted vegetables that were decribed on the menu! And the gravy on my daughters meal was baked into the mash potato and theplate was boiling hot where it had been left under the heat lamps for so long.
We were told that they were waiting for the chicken on my sisters ceasar salad and that would be a couple of minutes. 5 minutes later the slad arrived and we were told to enjoy our meal... even though there was a meal missing!! when we asked for it they brought it out in about 2 minutes, the chips were soggy and the chicken was very dry, again where it had been left under the heat lamps.
Totally unimpressed with the food and the service as we didnt even have our glasses cleared from our table for the whole meal.
Will not be going back.
