The Boars Head, Herongate

This is a lovely looking pub/ restaurant. Unfortunately the food is pretty dire. I ordered Baby monkfish tail wrapped in pancetta on tagliatelle, with Chard..I received uncooked pasta, the tail , of the tail of the monkfish ( bit of bone with 2 small forkfuls of dry fish), Chard was limply hiding underneath the pasta and some raw on the top. ...all pretty inedible, thankfully removed from my bill. For pudding,, I ordered baked custard tart with strawberry and cream....Strawberries were ok but not seasonal, and cream is cream...tart was tasteless. Altogether a pretty rotten experience. On the plus side wine list is ok, and waiting staff were good albeit , obviously used to having complaints about the food...would have been good to have the Chef, step away from his microwave and come to the table to explain how he failed his cookery o`level and still managed to work at this pub !
