  Normally I enjoy eating here but recently the place has gone down hill massively. I went for a meal and drinks on bank holiday Monday and was disappointed beyond belief. I arrived at about 7.15pm and waited for drinks at the bar for 10mins with no one else waiting and staff not even acknowledging that I was there while walking off elsewhere. When I finally got served I decided to order food at the same time to avoid the same wait again just to order. The lady that served me was not at all apologetic about the wait and was very abrupt and rude in the manner she informed me there was limited availability from the menu. Having picked something that was available I was then attempting to pay but she was then too busy talking to another member of staff as I held my hand out trying to give her the money! My cousin who was a little less patient than me asked her if she wanted the money. Having heard this she turned and took the money with no apology for being so rude. We then went and sat down and discussed how appalling the service was (the food was just as bad if not worse than the service when it came). As we were talking we noticed that having been in the place now for about 45mins there was 5 tables full of dirty dishes and glasses that had been there since we arrived and then a further 3 that had been vacated since we arrived (this was just what we could see from where we were sat). This with staff standing at the bar talking instead of clearing up. Having then had our meals we left promptly and the same woman that served us was about to clear some glasses from a table nearly an hour and a half after it had been vacated! When walking out I said thankyou politely even though I was far from impressed at anything and there was never even a reply. This was far from any experience I've ever had in the past when I have had some brilliant times and banter back and forth with the staff there. It's safe to say that until I see a sign saying 'under new management' I shall not be going back, and that would be my recommendation to anyone even thinking about going!
