willowwisp2 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Went on Saturday just gone for lunch and found meals to be poor with gerbil sized portions. I personally had a chicken burger which came with about three chips, a single rasher of bacon, and bits of lettuce for £6.00. (It's not something I normally choose for a meal before anyone starts slagging the selection!). Another had lamb for £9.00 which appeared to be the smallest cut possible and lemon fillet fish which looked like a piece of driftwood. S'pose I should have said something at the time but didn't want to cause a scene at a family meal. I know it's all about opinions but think twice before going.

Coming on here and now giving this place a bad reputation with out giving them the opportunity to put it right is not really fair play is it?

Meaks Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Had a burger at The Museum last week, against my better judgement. It was an 'Italian Job' and as someone who feels horrified at the thought of paying nearly seven quid for a burger I was very pleasantly surprised. A huge, quality British beef burger, several rashers of bacon and a load of blue cheese along with decent salad and chips. It was excellent!

swordfish1 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 - Why did you not say something? Coming on here and now giving this place a bad reputation with out giving them the opportunity to put it right is not really fair play is it? Some people just don't want confrontation. I'd always complain if a meal was poor, but my other half would never ever. And that sometimes(!) makes me keep quiet. The pub shouldn't have the need to put things right, they should give out a decent meal in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowwisp2 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I do concede to your point Jackdanny as shown in my original message, but I think Swordfish hits it on the head. This wasn't a case of a one off bad meal. It's obviously their policy to issue poor quality food. Rest assured, I have complained in the past at other establishments, (although I've rarely had to).

jamesogt Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 im surprised the sportsman hasn't closed down to be honest. the crosspool tavern and its carvery is far superior Apart from the fact i believe food hygiene has closed it down before! http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business-detail.php?business_id=57794&inspection_type=FH Not too high on the scoring even now. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=133179 http://www.southglos.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/D94FCDEC-E054-4E7E-B271-E927D0B8AC39/0/COS060108.pdf (page 3) Though this was a year ago and it claims that management and chefs from that eriod have all since been replaced.
