Brampton Halt

Lovely pub and service, gluten free options but could provide better options for gluten free. I ordered the gluten free chicken roast was really nice. However normally comes with Stuffing and Yorkshire, they don't provide gf Yorkshire which is fine but menu stated gluten free alternative for Stuffing and i never received any.

Sadly only 3 stars this visit. The food was fantastic but sadly the visit was drastically let down by everything else. We were a party of 6. The venue was extremely busy which is good, but service & attitude of staff was not 4 or 5 star, whether this was affected by the volume of diners? We were sat by a door which was being used by staff taking food to an event in the marquee so was open a lot of time, at least after half an hour the hot air blower above the door was put on to help with the cold. Felt we were being rushed to order our food by the quite abrupt waitress. On asking what Soup of the Day was, her response: "I dunno, do you want me to go & ask?" - really? Dish offered on menu was GFA, on querying was this a Gluten Free option available, met with "I dunno" !! 1st rule of service Know Your Menu !! The body language on asking for her to check was a little to be desired. After we had ordered 1 of our party noticed the Chef Specials chalkboard, which had not been pointed out to any of us. Anyway.. food arrived. Presentation good. Plenty of it. 4 of us opted for Fish & Chips (generous portions I will add) 1 of which was GFA (difference was no curry sauce but no big deal) Waitress returned to clear and said pass the plates down - errr excuse me ? This was her stance of the evening. Positioning herself at the end and putting everything down there for our party to sort out the distribution. Not a huge problem but nonetheless it seemed like she couldn't be bothered. On ordering deserts, again waitress had no idea about the menu, in fact she called a colleague over to ask about the Chocolate Marquise, moreover on being asked what cheesecake of the day was - "do you want me to check?" once again knowledge of her service was poor. The lighting where we were sitting needs to be addressed. We had to use the torches on our phones to read the menus which probably explains why they couldn't see some cutlery that was on the floor from the previous sitting maybe. A little disappointed as we were there for a special occasion. Reasonable value for money. Bill was £180 for 6 mains, 2 starters, 4 deserts and a few drinks. On leaving my elderly mother spotted the deserts on the specials board and was upset that had she have known, she would have had the Lemon Meringue as that was her favourite. Will go again but if the establishment can take away from this review : staff training that would be good idea !
