The Elizabethan, Heaton Moor

I've been to this pub for drinks in the beer garden a few times, and thought we'd try eating there. I felt so disappointed with the food that I won't go back again. My partner and I (plus two other friends) ordered a starter and main meal. The starter took an hour to come out (after reminding the waitress). After eating the starter the waitress asked if we wanted desert - even though we'd ordered our mains with the starter over an hour before. The we both ordered Kebabs for our main meal, which were just awful. The portion sizes were so small that I asked the waitress if she'd bought me the starter by mistake. The meat was tough and dry, and not much of it. There was a small amount of 'boil in the bag' type white rice and a bit of salad. And this cost us �25.90 for both meals. What a rip off. I should say that in fairness our two friends had the moroccan lamb shank which looked better, but this just left us starring at their food in envy when our plates were empty. I think there are far better places to eat around heaton moor, and I won't be eating at the Elizabethan again.
