"Oh for a time machine..."

A review of Barmy Arms by Anonymous written on Thursday 29th of July 2010

If only I had a time machine, I would go back in time and erase that idea I had to have lunch at this dreadful pub! Such a pity because it is in a lovely location on the river, loads of space to sit outside and very quiet and away from the traffic etc...

I went to order at the bar (one ploughmans sandwich and one portion of nachos - nothing too difficult). About 30 mins later, still no sign of food and pub didn't look very busy so I went to enquire at the bar. The barman went to look and a few mins later came out with our food. This suggested to me that it might have been sitting there a while!

The nachos were stone cold and covered in this yellow/orange greasy, congealed mess that I think was supposed to be cheese and looked totally unappetising and revolting. Having tasted it, it certainly was worse than it looked and had to be sent back. My friend then asked if she could have potato wedges with cheddar and bacon, this was then brought to the table and the potato wedges were burned underneath and there was no bacon in sight! We couldn't be bothered to send it back and decided that getting out of that terrible place was our priority. My sandwich was less than interesting (considering it was over £4 - I thought a ploughmans had pickle in it but maybe I am mistaken?).

In any event, to cut a long story short, do not eat at this pub! Plus the cutlery was dirty and the staff were less than interested in even checking that the replacement meal was acceptable. I think they probably knew the answer.
