There were not enough staff to serve the busy tables and we waited an hour between first and main courses. Also, my dish (pasta- not exactly the most difficult to make) came once everyone else at our table of 8 had finished eating and my husband had to chase the flapping waitress to find it. By this time (10pm.....3 hours after we arrived) I was no longer hungry and didn't wish to sit eating on my own. My meal was removed form the bill......eh I didn't eat it anyway so I didn't feel this was compensation enough. 5 months on, we decided to give it another shot by visiting The Lane beneath The Loft. The place was deserted yet we had to order the food at the bar. I realise that this can be common for pub grub so we grumbled a bit but put up with it. HOWEVER, my hubby ordered a pint of guinness. The two bar staff argued about how to pour it and EVENTUALLY handed it over with no head. The chicken liver pate was pork, the pizza was cold and the portion of macaroni was tiny. COME ON THE LOFT AND THE LANE, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS! DON'T GO! If I could have given a ZERO, I would've!
