点评:Came here for Sunday lunch with the family, table for a few of us. Booked in advance and had a confirmation, but on arrival our booking wasn't showing in their system — had to explain ourselves at the desk before getting seated, which wasn't a great start. We were sat in the bar area again, which seemed to be where a lot of the service issues were happening — waited a long time for our order to be taken, and then a long wait again for the food to actually arrive.
Ordered the roast beef (£21 each, a bit steep for a pub roast) — beef itself was cooked well, but no roast potatoes came with it, which is a pretty basic thing to be missing from a roast dinner. The gravy is usually really good here, but this visit it was off — lacked depth and had an overpoweringly winey taste that didn't sit right.
Desserts were a mixed bag. The cinnamon churros were overcooked and dense, missing the fluffy texture they should have. The tart tatin was very boozy — more than expected, so worth knowing if that's not your thing. Both desserts were £8 each, alongside the sticky toffee pudding, which felt a touch overpriced for the standard of what arrived. Wine (Callia Malbec) was a reasonable, drinkable house option.
Ended up paying £109.20 for 11 items between us. Auldhouse Arms is normally reliable for a Sunday roast, but the booking mix-up, slow service, missing potatoes, and off gravy all let it down this time. Might give it another go, but wouldn't rush back.
翻译:我们一家人星期天来这里吃午餐,预订了几人座的桌子。虽然提前预订并收到了确认信息,但到达后却发现他们的系统中并没有我们的预订记录——我们不得不在前台解释一番才得以入座,这算是个糟糕的开端。我们被安排在酒吧区就坐,那里似乎也是服务问题频发的区域——我们等了很长时间才有人来点单,之后又等了很久食物才上桌。点了烤牛肉(每份21英镑,对于一家酒吧来说这个价格有点贵)——牛肉本身烤得不错,但没有配烤土豆,而烤土豆本应是烤肉大餐中不可或缺的一部分。这里的肉汁通常都很好喝,但这次的肉汁却不尽如人意:缺乏层次感,而且带有浓重的酒味,让人难以下咽。
甜品方面则良莠不齐。肉桂吉事果烤得过火,质地偏硬,完全失去了应有的松软口感。这款塔坦苹果派酒精味很重——超出了预期,所以如果你不喜欢酒味重的甜点,这一点值得留意。两种甜点的价格均为8英镑,还有黏性太妃布丁,以实际出品的质量而言,这个定价显得有些偏高。葡萄酒方面,Callia Malbec是酒馆提供的性价比不错且口感尚可的选择。
我们两人总共点了11道菜,最终付款109.20英镑。通常情况下,Auldhouse Arms的周日烤肉都很不错,但这次却出现了预订出错、服务迟缓、土豆缺失以及肉汁味道不佳等问题,实在令人失望。可能会再试一次,但不会急于回去。
