The Old Barn Farm, Three Legged Cross

My partner and I visited this pub for a lunchtime meal and decided to go for the specials deal which priced the starters and dessets at �2 each.
We chose the smoked mackerel fillet and the breaded mushrooms, shepherds pie and profiteroles and chocolate brownie.
The starters were OK, nothing special and easy to prepare with a microwave! but nevertheless acceptable.
The shepherds pies were truly awful, mine was mostly potato. When I complained the waitress offered to get me another but I declined her offer but she did bring a small dish with further filling in it. The amount of actual lamb mince present in the filling was an eye opener.
They would have been able to produce 24 'pies' with a 1lb of mince by my reckoning. The filling was mostly a gloopy gravy with pieces of carrot, tomato and onion.
The desserts were OK, again nothing special.
I cannot recommend this pub for it's food, one meal there was quite enough for me.
