Case is Altered, Old Redding

Visited this pub on 22/5/11 for a Sunday roast with my elderly parents. Having not visited this pub before, enquired whether the pub served Sunday roast and were told that although not on the menu, they served roast lunches. Our drinks order was taken first. There seemed to be some unnecessary delay and I ended up having to ask if they could serve our drinks. I chose roast chicken. When our meals arrived, we realised very quickly that our meals were not fresh and had probably been reheated in the microwave from frozen. The vegetables certainly looked like supermarket frozen ones. The yorkshire puddings were so hard that we struggled to cut them. My chicken was as dry as a bone and my mother's lamb shank had little flavour. Desserts were mostly bought-in ice cream sundaes. The meal was very over-priced. The ladies cloakroom was grubby. Had it not been my mother's birthday, I would have refused the meals and found somewhere else to eat.
