The Ship Inn, Styal

Appalling. Two of us arrived on 30.10.2010 afternoon and ordered a meal and a drink each. Cost of �15.47 apparently failed to deliver on promised 2 meals for �10, but never mind. Waited for 25 minutes and when food didn't arrive, we asked the manager (the place was not busy at all) who said he'd check. Another ten minutes and nothing happened. We approached the bar and asked for a refund, at which point a woman appeared and said the food was ready. After another ten minutes we got freshly but not entirely de-frozen chips with the dishes, both of which were obviously factory produced. We complained to the waitress but were ignored, so we left, only to be chased outside by the angry manager accusing us of 'confronting a woman because she was weak' (he forgot that we had confronted him twice but to no avail). Avoid this place; it can spoil what is otherwise a lovely day out in a lovely spot.
