The Sovereign Inn, Huddersfield

Deeply disappointed with this pub. We arrived at 1.10 p.m. today, well ready for lunch. Ordered our drinks and sat down to look at the menu. It didn't take us long to decide what we wanted and we ordered very quickly.

The drinks were fine, good quality, no complaints there. The food looked great BUT we never got to taste it. At 1.55 p.m. our meals still hadn't arrived, despite having asked ten minutes earlier how long they would take. (We're not sure but we think the waitress had muttered something about having only just received the order when we enquired. And there were people sitting in our area when we arrived who had clearly waited as long, if not longer, than we were doing to get served.)

We paid for our drinks and left, expressing our displeasure. Just as we were leaving our food arrived, too late; their loss. I'm sure it was lovely but there is no way either of us is prepared to wait well over three quarters of an hour to get served at lunch time.

We received no apology and no explanation as to why our meals were so late.

We have just finished eating our lunch, at home, at 3.00 p.m.

We'll never, ever, go back to the Sovereign.
