The Peacock Inn, Piltdown

Dissapointed with recent lunch time experience. Booked arrived at 12:30, it was not busy, wth only one other table full. Not all the choices were available, my lamb Tagine was full of fatty chewy meat, two others had the roast beef with burnt Yorkshires on the outside and underdone on the inside, my wife had Roast Turkey but the sprouts were very underdone. I ordered a Ginger pudding, it was OK but it was supposed to be Rum soaked but there was no hint of Rum on the dish. Very long wait for service. Not sure if we were unlucky on this occasion as we have previously eaten here and it has been fine. We should have complained at the time I know ,but didn't want to spoil the ocassion. I wrote in and complained after the event, but the reply was a fairly basic appology saying next time we will recieve their utmost attention. Not sure if I want to risk it though
