Bridge, Shawford

Ate at the Bridge at Shawford Winchester for the second and last time last night. To be fair, the food was good. But the food wasn't the issue. Front of house was nowhere to be seen when we arrived No one greeted us or showed us to our table. The waiter service was extremely slow. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks. The food took ages to come. The waiter forgot that I had asked for a glass of water. When he took the order for food he didn't take the menus. The skills required to safely place the food and drinks on the table were sorely lacking. When the table was cleared following the main course, the container of mayonnaise was left there with the spoon in all the way through dessert. We had to ask to be served. We had to wait almost 40 minutes for our dessert and had to eventually remind the waiter that we were waiting. Unfortunately we left feeling as if we hadn't been very well looked after. Given our experiences on both visits, it would be difficult to recommend it to our friends.
