Stop off at the Riverside at Acton Bridge on the way nice sat out by the river for a spot of tea

The Chapelford farm is gash, chips with no potato in and sweaty Carvery, food that is ready in 15 mins after ordering should be avoided! The service is shocking and the fact you cant order drinks when getting food drives me nuts!

I asked for the steak pie to be made without mushrooms once and they couldn't give me a straight answer as to why they couldn't! No telly for sport in a local pub is stupid too!

"chips with no potato in"

That famous muddy cup tie at Barrow in 2002 (?), we were running late and went to get food from the ten pin bowling place across the road. My mate wanted bangers and mash. They said "not got any potatoes, you can have chips if you want".

That is what I don't understand, there are so many locally owned pubs serving great food for the same price, if not less.

I live in Whittle Hall and I have been to the Chapelford farm three or four times, they seem perplexed if you walk into the pub without wanting to eat anything. One day I had lunch and it reminded me of school dinners at Sycamore Lane.

We are off to the Wheatsheaf tonight, I'm looking forwards to it!

I had a surprisingly decent carvery at the Walton Arms at lunch. Fair price as well

The kids were moaning for an ice cream on Friday so I took them to the Chapelford Farm's 'Ice Cream Parlour' I stood for 20 mins waiting to be served at the ice cream till while 3 bar staff stood by waiting for drinks customers, I asked if one of them could serve me and they couldn't because they have not been trained to scoop the ice cream, WTF is the world coming to!!
Then tried to order a drink for myself but told i couldn't use the ice cream till to order drinks in a pub!!!
