Old Broken Cross, Rudheath

We moved nearby to the Broken Cross pub about 4 years and thought it would be nice to call there once a fortnight for a Sunday lunch and a pint. We called there the once, the food took ages and was absolutely crap. On a large oval plate there was slices of beef, 2 roast potatoes a huge amount of garden peas and it was all drowned in gravy. A man and his wife at the table next to us were fuming as he was waiting as long as us and when he got he was disgusted too ( he walked out). A few years later we called one evening with a couple of friends, my wife and the other lady went to use the ladies and the door was locked. My wifes friend asked the landlady if she could open the door and she refused and told them to use the gents toilets. My wifes friend said that she didnt want to use the gents as she found that disgusting and then there was an argument as the landlady said "Are you trying to say my toilets are disgusting", the friend said no but to lock the ladies toilets was against all health and safety regulations. We cant wait for the landlady to leave for someone with half a brain cell to run it instead because the pub could be lovely with different people and good food, it cant be that hard other pubs do it! We now use the club down the road where a lot of people comment about the landladys attitude as one time it used to be their local.
