The Green Man, Great Offley

Living in Hitchin, I have been going to the Green Man in Offley because of the excellent food that they served there (or used to at least, and that is the problem!)

I went there last night with my wife and our friend to celebrate a birthday. What a mistake!

I ordered the "Lamb with Asparagus Spears" from the Chef's specials board. When it arrived at the table, there was the lamb, but with runner beans.

I asked why this was, and was told that they had been serving this all day and nobody else had complained. So I said that I was complaining and wanted to know why I had runner beans instead of asparagus spears.

The waitress came back and told me that nobody had told the chef what was on his 'Chef's Specials' board! Absolutely comical.

Utterly utterly dreadful, poor quality freezer to microwave fare. The Green Man in Offley has lost customers that have been going there for years.
