Having been here lots of times and always leaving on a good notebinwas very disappointed in the food today. The veg were both dry with a weird skin on the outside completely mushy, beef was grey roasties were like rubber inwas utterly disappointed that said the rest of the meals ordered were good, maybe it's the roast inner that is hard to execute. If it was not for what was delish horseradish sauce I would not have touched it at all. The roast dinner was also served in what seemed to be a pasta bowl. Now I know never order a roast dinner here
