The Idle Hour

As a visitor to the area I found this establishment to be a real find, definitely one I will recommend and one that I will hopefully be going back to. The staff are friendly and happy to accommodate my own personal food requirements (alergies) and that of my guests. The bar was great and the food itself very tasty. I love the relaxed atmosphere and calm decor - worth a visit.

Three of us chose this pub because it was part of a promotion in a national newspaper and we had always fancied going there. It was the biggest mistake. The service was awful, we ordered at 8 but the staff served everyone that entered after us, first. At 9.15pm we had had enough, after complaining numerous times that we hadn't even got our starter, they brought us over the wrong ones! Considering there were only three starters and two main courses, as they had run out of the salmon, we were very disappointed! On our exit we noticed a table that had been empty when we arrived, they had eaten their starters and main courses...all of which were salmon!
