The Jolly Crofters, Horwich

NOT A GOOD START WHEN WE ORDERED OUR WINE FROM THE WINE LIST, WE ORDERED PROSECCO AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY HAD NONE OF THE SPARKLING WINE OR CHAMPAGNE THAT WAS ON THE LIST.
WE ORDERED PINO GRIGIO INSTEAD WHICH WAS LOVELY BUT WE WERE OFFERED NO ICE BUCKET OR WINE COOLER TO PUT IT IN.
I ORDERED LAMB SHANK WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, FALLING OFF THE BONE! HOWEVER WE ALSO ORDERED SLOW ROASTED PORK BELLY WHICH SOUNDED LOVELY AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT HAD IN FACT BEEN SLOWLY ROASTED. IT WAS AS TOUGH AS OLD BOOTS AND HAD PROBABLY BEEN PUT IN THE OVEN WHEN WE ORDERED IT. VERY DISAPPOINTING, SHOULD HAVE STUCK TO THE COD AND CHIPS WHICH IS ALWAYS GOOD.
