Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Really helpful staff ( thanks Holly), prompt service, shame some veg was a bit soggy."
• "The staff who dealt with the complaint was very nice and apologetic."
• "Staff very friendly. Meals not as good as when we went last time. Chicken and steak very overcooked and chips cold."
• "Staff are nice enough but we were told a 40 min wait on food....no problem. Waited hour and 20 mins."
• "Great menu and friendly atmosphere, went for dinner and was really happy with the food."

Cons:

• "Didn't feel welcome at all... Thanks for not ticking that diversity box...! Service was dire...."
• "The old famous corn exchange, unfortunately, I do say 'old'. A once great part of the Delph run, a starting point yet just like the pubs of the past it's reputation has long gone along with the standards."
• "The waitress Inestead of apologies she confront us. The Manager tried to sort the problem but he was really kind."
• "Rude and abusive manager. Staff intimidated by him, my children crying because of his threats unbelievable behaviour."
• "Fly in my lasagne waited ages to be changed rest of family finished eating. Didn't change salad or garlic bread. Salad wilted bread like a brick not going again 😞"
• "Never again, staff's attitude was disgusting slagging off customers infront of other customers, the food tasted of dirty oil and my glass of wine had the waitresses sweaty hand print right at the rim."
• "One member of staff was particularly condescending and downright rude shall not be using this place again, his customer relations skills were non existent suggest he changes career because he's certainly not cut out for the hospitality section"
• "Run down pub! Local youths visit regually to play pool. So if you have a young family be aware to keep away from that area, as the language is not suitable for 'young ears'."

Cons:

• "Two meals for £11.99 not good not bad food it was all eaten, flat breads are bit of a joke."
• "Attended for the 1st time and was very disappointed. We waited 1hr 20 minutes for food after been told the wait was only 40 minutes."
• "Food was shocking, steak had clearly been cooked in the morning and was inedible. Everything was bland, waitress was apologetic but no refund offered for the poor food."
• "Food was very tasty, but unfortunately there was no sizzle, the peas were cold, we thought we were going to get a really hot meal because we had waited 25 min."
• "A pretty disappointing visit. £4.29 for a single scoop of ice cream - absolutely outrageous pricing. Sunday dinner with chicken was not great. The chicken was rubbery and tough, and the vegetables were undercooked."
• "Average pub grub had half a Cajun roast chicken which was too dry with a bit of Cajun seasoning on the top. Dirty fries had hardly no cheese and same with the crispy bacon.. won't be going back to eat here unfortunately."
• "Not a good experience tonight it was busy but food was disappointing. Asked for med steak it was almost raw sent back to kitchen was no better when it came back."
• "Utterly awful meal. Barely warm sizzling plate was cold. 6 chips on an xl meal. Meat tasted cheap. Worst meal I've had in a looong time."
