The Horse and Jockey, Curbridge

Attended this pub for a meal on 21st August 2012. On looking at the rather limited menu I was told the chicken breast had sold out. Ordered and paid for the food up front which I found a little odd. After paying I was told the salmon fillet with salad and new potatoes was sold out. I found it difficult to select anything else as I was on a diet and everything else seemed to be fried or with chips. Eventually was offered a prawn salad instead.
The food seemed to take a long while to arrive and when it did the starters and main courses arrived at the same time and when we explained that we wanted our starters first we were told off by the waitress as we had not made it clear we wanted them first. The main course of steak and ale pie ordered by my husband contained so little meat we began counting the steak. My salad when it arrived was a prawn cocktail of some lettuce a few prawns a slice of tomato and a slice of cucumber served in a cereal bowl. I complained at the time and was offered a free dessert which never arrived. Wrote a letter of complaint which I sent recorded delivery and have not received a reply by mid September. Small portions - flavourless food- poor service
