The Corbet Arms, Uffington

Having previously eaten here in the evening and had a throughly enjoyable time we thought after awalk we would call in at lunch time and grab a bite to eat, my partner had a sausage bap with chips while i choose the ploughmans, the menu listed, pork pie, scotch egg, ham hock terrine, 2 local cheeses, apple celery and pickles.
so you can imagine my disappointment when it arrived minus the apple celery and pickles, (i did point this out and they were bought to me) not a bit of salad garnish to be seen, leaving the plate looking very grey, and not at all appertising, and there were not 2 but three cheeses, being, brie, cranberry wenslydale, and smoked applewood!!! where o where was the Cheddar!!! and NO ploughmans pickle, but some sweet chutney, and the scotch egg turned out to be a boiled one,,,,,, i feel they have tried to give this classic dish a modern tweak,, NO, DONT DO IT, i will not be having the Corbet Arms Ploughmans Lunch again, it spoilt my afternoon, my partner unfortunatly whisked me away before i could give any feedback to the proprietor!!! lets hope he/she reads this and takes note.
