Living just up the road, the Mossbrook has been the first choice for a number of occasions. Sadly, this time I came away full of disappointment. The starters of squid for the wife and lobster and prawn pot for me were very tasty and a good size for a starter. Here we go I thought. Looking forward to another great meal.
The main course however, well, where do I start?
We both ordered the trio roast expecting a nice combination of chicken, beef and pork. The most impressive thing on the plate was the Yorkshire pudding. The pork was about the size and thickness of my bank card, the beef was marginally thicker but looked as if it had sat under a hot light for some time and was as dry as that light. The chicken? Wow! Poor thing was so anaemic it looked like it should have had a blood transfusion before it was killed. Shown the oven rather than cooked in it! Also, it seems as if you have leg or lump it out of the box of legs that were delivered yesterday. And the wife doesn't like leg.
There are vegetables and "roast" potatoes as part of it but if you don't like a particular veg (like red cabbage in my case) and ask for it without then be prepared for no veg at all, as its all cooked and mixed in one pot to give you a teaspoon full in one go. And the potatoes looked more boiled and blow torched than roasted. Certainly not worth the £15 expected.
We were still hungry so decided on a dessert of sticky toffee pudding. Although small it was very tasty. Really disappointed to be writing this about a favourite but seems as if after the refurb a couple of years ago the Mossbrook has tried to become a high class gastro pub with prices to match but without the knowledge and experience to manage it.
