Boat and Anchor Inn, Bridgwater

Disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!! We took our mother in law here for a mother�s day lunch. I don't think it could have been worse. The food is overpriced, under sized, terrible and wholly processed. When a complaint was made, the response was totally unhelpful and aggressive completely ruining the meal for my mother in law.

2 Greek salads were ordered - when they arrived they had some white mush on them which was passed off as feta cheese. It looked nothing like feta and it tasted terrible. We explained extremely politely to the waitress that we did not think it was feta.
The answer came back from the kitchen that it was. We asked to see the chef and the owner appeared. He "was not having that" when asked if it was feta? We asked for the packaging and he explained the cheese came from a can!!! The can had been disposed of and the cheese and brine left in plastic boxes in the fridge. When asked to try the cheese he declined. The owner had a argument with us in front of everyone. Eventually all we could say is that we don't want the food at which point the owner said "fine" snatched the bowls from the table and stormed off.

I think the cheese coming from a can probably says it all about this establishment - I doubt any of the food is actually made on site. The chips for example are the mass produced catering sack variety sold by low rent outlets the length of the country. At almost �3 for a small plastic bowl of them served with the Daddies sauce bottle on the table the food has all the class of a road side cafe. The bread is the cheap, part cooked heat in the oven type that is good for about 6 months in the sealed packaging it arrives in.
The owner must be making a huge profit dishing out the rubbish that we experienced with such an offensive attitude!!!!

There have to be better places to eat in the area - we will certainly be looking for them.
A memorable Mother�s day; for all the wrong reasons. We have never left a review before but felt so strongly we thought it was best to save others from a similar experience that upset the whole family!
