The Danson Stables, Danson Park

TERRIBLE...
Went to this pub for lunch with the family. Queued up for twenty minutes only to be served by some sweaty guy that was slower than a snail.
Ran out of three choices of menu, brought out dirty cutlery, brought main out with starters, then the waitress told us that one of our main course choices has actually run out (when our starters were at the table) forgot to come and refund us the difference in cost of meal, apfter finishing starters waited an hour and no sign of mains, queued up again and informed staff. Manager came out and told us they had forgotten to cook our mains, when it did come out it was cold and tasteless and salad was brown and obviously not fresh.
The tables were filthy, rubbish all over the floor and customers were leaving in crowds, all with something to complain about and leaving their food.
Only good thing was that the manager offered us full refund and encouraged us to return for a meal for four with a bottle of wine for free next time.
My boyfriend refuses to go back though!!!
The manager blamed the disaster on the warm weather and them being especially busy.
I blame it on young, inexperienced staff, disorganisation, not ordering in enough stock. Taking orders when they obviously could not cope and no staff training.
Shame as the pub surroundings are very beautiful, with a lot of work it could work well
