We have had wonderful meals in Scotland but this was really poor. We had dinner there as a four on 14th December. The beetroot risotto with mushrooms was tasteless and the mushrooms were watery. I couldn’t finish it. The steak was well cooked but the peppercorn sauce had just one peppercorn and tasted of chicken stock. Bizarre. The turkey in the turkey paupiette was dried out. The haggis seemed absent in the steak and haggis pie. Overall it felt like the chef was off for the night and a replacement was just assembling the me... read more
The onion tarte tatin was very good but came sitting on a sheet of greaseproof paper. However, we were not charged for it. The turkey paupiette was quite good but the roast potatoes and the pigs in blankets were very underdone, there were no parsnips and only three sprouts. The staff were quick to react and showed their concern at the shortcomings by giving us a discount on the bill.
Our request to have the booming music turned down a bit was ignored. Sticky toffee pudding was very overdone. Sea bass was unevenly prepared and accompanying potatoes were underdone. Onion rings were very greasy. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive.
The service was very slow considering there was only 2 tables with customers , the chicken was cooked in dirty oil and tasted awful and to top things off they added a service charge of 10% to the bill and when i told the server that i would not be paying she was very taken aback as if to how dare you not pay as if it was a given , very disapointed as i have been in Badgers before and enjoyed the experience .
Don't go here for the food. If the quality would be 50% of the ambiance, this place would have two michelin stars. Unfortunately it is the opposit: the food is suprisingly untastefull: meat in stews is cooked instead of seared, so no matter how much salt you add, no flavour will ever emerge. The indian salad tasted like the cook had left an illegible recipe that was not followed at all, assembled of old rice, three peas, some left over cauliflower and an odd sour tasting sauce in which lemon was used instead of the intended ... read more
Booked expecting lunch only to be told that it was the brunch menu from 9am till 2pm. Food was fine but very limited choice. Hopefully this is a one off.
Nice decor but really disappointing otherwise. Ordered two breakfasts but over 40 minutes passed with no sign. It wasn't until I asked that I was told that the order hadn't actually been put through. Food wasn't worth the wait in the end.
Really disappointing meal. Food was poor, service was poor and as a result felt overly expensive. Not what we had been led to expect at all.
The menu was very limited and not very appealing. Atmosphere was very quiet.
