Called in by chance, yesterday as most of the other restaurants in Middleton are "Closed Wednesday." We had checked Tripadvisor to find a rating of 3.6 so we weren't expecting much, and certainly not what we got.
I ordered the sirloin {medium-well} my wife ordered the pan fried haddock, at that point, being hungry, we just crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.
When the plates were served up we had to take a second look, the sirloin was of Triple A quality, cooked to perfection and the presentation on the plate shows that the Chef cares about the work that he does.
My wife had pan fried haddock and rice, it was "as above," a decent slab of haddock, perfectly cooked, and again a work of art on the plate, that shows when folks take pride in the work they do.
We wanted to complement the Chef, but by the time we had finished our meals the Chef had finished his shift. I hope he reads this, it was the best pub meal that we have had in YEARS.
Last but not least, the waitress, she was pleasant, polite, with had a good sense of humour, that always helps when you're new to a place.
Based on what we had a 5 Star rating isn't enough, so I hope a "Thank You" to the staff who provided us with an excellent meal at a very reasonable price covers it.
