SUSAN ROGERS VISITED THE BLACK SWAN, OCKHAM, SURREY AND IS DISAPPOINTED <\/strong><\/p>\n

Date of Visit 25\/04\/08<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a disappointment! Bearing in mind the menu prices were on average \u00a38
\nfor a starter and \u00a315 for a main, we had great hopes for the newly
\nrefurbished so-called gastro pub.<\/p>\n

We were served with a not very chilled glass of Chablis on arrival – when
\nwe asked if we could have a chilled glass the waiter firstly said should
\nhe blow on it to cool it down then plonked 3 pieces of ice in the glass!
\nMy starter of ravioli was only warm, not hot, with too much sauce for the
\nsmall piece of pasta swimming in the middle, my husband’s duck pate tasted
\nbland and came with 2 small pieces of toasted wholemeal bread. When he
\nasked for more toast they brought out pre-made melba toast which we had to
\nsend back after explaining what we wanted.<\/p>\n

Mains were hot and tasty to be fair – lamb and duck breast. <\/strong> We decided
\nnot to have a dessert but then waited nearly 25 minutes for someone to
\ncome over to the table so that we could order coffee. The waitress’
\nattitude when we finally had to call her over was rude to say the least,
\nwith no apology for leaving us sitting there – she clearly doesn’t
\nunderstand the meaning of customer service.<\/p>\n


\nNice atmosphere to have a beer or a coffee but don’t bother with the
\nrestaurant as everything is clearly too much bother for them.
