The Strawberry, Barrow in Furness

I recently went to The Strawberry with a group of friends for a good old pre christmas dinner. It turned out to be the meal from hell! Myself and 2 others waited the entire length of a football match that was being shown at the time to be served our food, while other people on our table were 'lucky' enough to be served more than half an hour before us. At no point did the staff let me know that there would be a long wait. When I went to complain to get my money back having already waited an hour and a half, they told me the manager would be down in a couple of minutes. He finally arrived 20 minutes later ironically times with when my food arrived. The food was overcooked and had obviously come straight out of the microwave. Once I had eaten I then approached the Landlady who had now also turned up, and she barely acknowledged my existance. She was more bothered about the quiz which was just about to start than even listening to what I had to say. Well I say this: if you ever consider going to this pub for food, walk across the road to the fuel station I'm sure the food would be of a similar quality but at least you would be served in less than an hour and a half. My advice is to avoid at all costs.

PS The 1/10 I have given is because they had my favourite beer on tap!
