The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping

NOT IMPRESSED at all! Have been to this pub in the past (a few years back) took the parents for lunch there today, what a shame!! It's a lovely old pub and obviously has a load of history! Very busy, got a table, ordered food and was told by the bar staff it would take an hour! I ordered Roast Dinner - Half a Chicken (on the menu its listed as Roast Dinner, served with all the trimmings) Parents ordered Moules with fries. Food arrived as promised an hour later, parents moules and fries and the waiter (doesnt speak very good english) brought my plate ............ Chicken, chips, salad and spicy sauce!? I told him I had asked for a Roast Chicken Dinner and he said YES!!! So it turns out if you order a Roast Chicken Dinner you wont receive one, but you will receive ...Chicken with spicy sauce chips and salad!??? WTF is that all about!!!! I told him to take it away as I wasnt going to eat it! We got our money back, the staff at the bar (could speak English) told us this is how its served, why not be specific on the menu PLEASE!!? A waitress came to clear the table she stacked up the plates of finshed moules in such a way that she spilt the sauce all over the table, chairs, floor and herself! Clever!!! What a shame, this pub could be a little goldmine! I wont be going there again!
