The Old Station Inn, Birstwith

Been a few times, the beer is always very good, will drink there again but as far as gastro pub...sorry...i know it can difficult in a village selling food,ordering supplies , quantities, etc ,but a smaller menu of fresh food will always be better than serving Macro Skinless Frozen Cod Loins covered in a bad sauce with tough prawns. I wanted a steak, which looked good and fresh, but sold out after 2 servings, so i asked for battered fish, also sold out after 3 or 4 servings.So I got Grilled Cod and was very disapointed. Before anyone says that I dont know what I am talking about, I retired at the age of 47 on the profits of a very busy seafood bar that only sold fresh produce. Fresh is best, be honest to your customers.
