The Ridley Arms, Stannington

We went to this pub because we had been told the food was great, all 6 of us came away thinking the same, we won�t go back again.

The following meats were all dry tough and had obviously been kept warm for far too long, pork, beef, chicken, lamb, the fish was ok but only because it had to be freshly cooked. The veg was only just warm and more on the uncooked side of crisp.

The puddings, Cheesecake was nice, the apple pie was huge and nice, the crumble would have made great hardcore, and the ice cream they only had to put into a glass so that was ok, although at �2 a scoop rather overpriced.

We had to ask for knives and forks and serving spoons for the veg, they then tried to charge us not only for our food but also a party of four at another table.

Come on Ridley Arms, it�s a lovely pub that could be really great.
