The Foxlydiate Arms, Redditch

Went to the 'Fox' last night with my friend. She ordered liver & bacon in a giant
yorkshire pudding �6.99. It arrived not just warm but actually fridge cold. Obviously whoever was operating the microwave that night was in a hurry. Billed as being topped with crispy bacon which in actual fact had been microwaved in with the liver and all the other ingredients. The Yorkshire was OK, the mash was far from creamy as described. So we sent it back only to have it returned less than five minutes later having been nuked. My Chicken Tikka Masala was served with rice which again had been reheated in the microwave and was dried out and crunchy, the naan was inedible having the consistancy of cardboard. The small bowl of Tikka tasted nice but accompanied by the rest left me dissapointed. Staff were indifferent, offered no apology or explanation and so we did not persue the matter.
I have been going to the Foxlydiate on a fairly infrequent basis for eighteen years and whilst the food could never be classed as gourmet has always been value for money. I will not return here for food again.
