The Three Tuns, Great Hormead

This pub has changed hands! We went last year (September 08) and had a wonderful meal. So, this month I bought my parents for a treat - it's a fair drive from London, but worth it, I thought. Wrong - the evening was like a scene from Fawlty Towers with a pinch of Ramsey's kitchen nightmares. The staff didn't know what they were doing, or what was being served, and the food was very average indeed. All the interesting choices have been removed from the menu and replaced with standard pub fare. The day we went, they had missed a delivery, so most things were unavailable. When we chuckled amongst ourselves about our bad luck (all our first choices were not available) the chef/owner came out and told us off for laughing! You could also hear him shouting from the kitchen. The food that did arrive (at various times during the evening) was either bland and tasteless (lamb cutlets) or burnt (lasagne). Other diners complained about the quality of their dishes while we were there. This was a lovely pub - one to avoid now, unless you only plan on having a drink - the bar is still nice.
