The Aperfield Inn

Very pleased with meal

I'm afraid, it was not a good experience. The £5.95 starter took less than 20 seconds to eat. Two prawns, two rings of calamari and a prawn cracker??? The burger I ordered was inedible. I would guess it had been cooked many times! We paid £60 for a lunch for two adults and a child. The food was very poor. No, I would not return to this restaurant.

Sarah our waitress seated us at a lovely round table as we were a party of 6 adults,our food was served up hot and the meat was very tender.The only thing that let the Aperfield down was a crack in my glass which I returned to the bar and the service was a little slow between main course and desert,but to be fair it was busy,but we were wondering if we were going to be offered a desert or coffee.

Service was good, had fish & chips which could have been cooked more.

I had filet steak and it was uneatable tough as old boots. We told the waiter but nothing was done. It was served up with a half a horrid tomato and a few not nice onion rings which also I could not eat. I had a crumble for pudding and I think the chef needs to go to cookery school I would not serve up a crumble like that to anyone and I don't have cooking qualifications.

Felt the restaurant was very basic,however the service and dishes made this an ideal place to dine.Being a Sunday when dining here the beef roast was my favourite although most dishes were attractive.

All good & very nice waitresses

The Aperfield Inn is close to where we live but we have a couple of poor experiences there in the past and had not patronised it for a couple of years. It was a pleasant surprise to find that they had a friendly and efficient team of waitresses, and an extensive menu with reasonable quality food.

Good ambiance, good service and food

We found the service quite slow and two out of three of us had the lamb shanks which were very disappointing; the meat usually falls of the bone with lamb shanks but I am afraid our experience was the opposite and the meat was hard and though. It was to celebrate my son's 50th birthday and I was upset because of this. However, I had a fish dish, which was very nice. The manager did compensate us for the poor quality of the meat, but we would rather have had a good meal.
