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.
Went for Easter Sunday lunch & was disappointed by the amount of food on the plate for £18.50. Immediately challenged the amount of beef - 2 very thin slices. I was told that was normal. My friend had thicker cuts so I may have just been unlucky. I was out for a boozy 3 course lunch & when they opted not to make it right, I went elsewhere for dessert & more drinks. Had no intention of spending anymore money with them. Aside from that interaction over the portion, the service was otherwise very good - but I’ll never be back f... read more
Easter Sunday lunch was disappointing. Roast beef was inadequate, three small pieces. Service was non- existent . Waited for 20 minutes for someone to take our order, eventually had to approach the staff to a ask for service . Drinks and requested horseradish arrived half way through the meal. Questioned the automatic 10 service charge which was disappointingly left on the bill. Should have realised that the place was mediocre when it was quiet n an Easter Sunday . Avoid
