The Spring Inn, Sulhamstead

Visited last night and was so disappointed. I ordered the salmon but refrained from having the buttery sauce and mashed potatoes but asked for extra green vegetables instead but checked first with the waitress that the vegetables were not smothered in butter. I was assured they were not. When the meal arrived everything was very shiny indicating oil of some kind. The two tiny florets of brocolli, 3 slices of courgette, one tiny carrot, 4 baby tomatoes and 10 green beans and the spinach base for the salmon was just oozing with oily pesto. The whole meal was greasy and very small considering it cost �12.95. Did I send it back - no I didnt for two reasons, one my partners lasagne would not have coped with any more microwaving and two, we went there to dine together not at different times. Surely if I declined from having the buttery sauce and potato and asked about the butter someone would have considered that I didnt want a meal oozing oil. Sorry but it was disgusting and I wont be revisiting even though the place has sentimental value.
