Restaurant bewertenWe stayed in plum porter last weekend witch was very nice and we had breakfast the next day witch the manager cooked was very nice indeed nothing was to much even made us an extra cup of tea definitely be back
Living locally we 've been coming here for years but hadn 't visited for some time. This was partly due to Covid but also because after the previous owners retired the food especially went down a pretty steep hill. Thinking we 'd pop back to see if things had picked up it 's a shame to report that the pub is no longer what it was. Now owned by the Titanic brewery there is no longer the wide array of excellent Ashover beer that was once brewed here alongside the other regular and excellent Oakham ales that used to be on tap. Our meal was disappointing. The vegan lasagne ordered by my wife was off so she opted for the beef. On it 's arrival we weren 't sure whether it was a lasagne or some kind of cottage pie. There appeared to be no pasta in it. It was the strangest lasagne I 'd seen an odd, glutenous, amorphous and tasteless mush. The waitress peered into it Basil Fawlty like and then took it to the kitchen only to return and tell us that there was indeed pasta in there but that it 's vegan pasta ?? She said a fresh one would be sent. The barmaid then abruptly decided to inform us that the chap on the table next to us had the lasagne and there was nothing wrong with it. Inappropriate and quite rude really. A new lasagne arrived. Fragments of pasta were located but I think the issues was that it was previously frozen and now reheated or simply had been warmed through too many times and was now just a mess. My wife ate half of it as she was hungry. I had the steak and ale pie and wolfed it down as I was starving. The pie was nice and meaty but had not been cooked sufficiently and the inside of the pastry was undercooked and slimy. Chips were greasy. As we sat finishing our drinks we were alarmed to see the chef appear at the bar with his bum hanging out the back of his tracksuit bottoms leaving us with concerns re food hygiene and safety in the kitchen. We left swiftly and won 't be back. It 's a shame a pint of Oakham Citra by the fire and a nice meal used to be a lovely treat here but no more. The Black Swan up the road gets great reviews and will be our next port of call!
Three different meals, all very good with delicious chips too! We will be back soon to try more. Great bar, atmosphere &cosy fire.
Just popped in for a meal with friends to find that the chefs had not ordered enough food to last. Shut down Sunday Lunches at three and all that remained was the specials board of which two out of the six dishes were off at 16.30hrs. Not Happy.
We stayed here for 2 nights in the Captain Smith's room, which we were told had just been refurbished. The room itself was lovely, we even had our own bottle of Captain Smith's beer to try, which was very nice. As for the pub, the managers are warm and welcoming, nothing was too much for them, even helping us with our bags, which were quite heavy. We ate at the pub, which we'd describe as fresh traditional pub food, although the sirloin steak I had was exceptional. Breakfasts were either cereals or full English, very hearty and well cooked. All in all a great two nights away, would definitely visit again, even if it was just for the view from the beer garden.
