The Bridgewater Arms, Harmer Hill

Had a dissapointing meal last night with 5 friends. I had the mussels and my "creamy white wine sauce" was like water and tasted only of salt and my "chunk of fresh tiger bread" which was supposed to be served with it didn't materialise at all until I actually asked for it. I thought "you can't go wrong with Eton Mess" I now know differently. The merangue ( I know I can't spell it) was crushed almost to a powder, the cream was oversweetened,(if it was cream) it was supposed to have fresh strawberries but they were very finely chopped and mixed in, I eventually found a couple of.slivers which would not even have amounted to one whole strawberry. It wasn't as though they were busy at the time, we were almost the only people in there.
