Narrow Boat at Weedon, Canalside Pub, Country Kitchen, Rooms

Came here today, what an experience. We travel up to Northampton from Hull a few times per year and always just after the new year to visit my elderly parents. We come to the narrow boat every time, its a part of the trip we very much look forward to. When we arrived we noticed that the pub had been repainted, we were very excited to see the refurb... Sadly the budget seems only to have stretched to the outside. The exact same decor for at least the 3 years we have been frequenting , the place looks very tired indeed. Patchwork on the bar soft seating butted up against tired looking walls and window frames. Not a great start and it was down hill from there. Service was slow to begin with.. The pub was not busy at all. This was annoying but forgivable, especially as the wine was very nice once it arrived. Then it came to ordering the food my celiac partner ordered the GF salad starter when ordering her main the waitress asked 'are you GF?' When told yes the waitress went to the kitchen "To check something" when she came back we were informed that the GF advertised dish was in fact not GF nor was her second choice also denoted on the menu as GF. When we asked why they are being advertised as GF we were told "The dishes used to be GF however the boss came up the other day and kicked off and sacked the head and sous chef. The Chef in the kitchen today isn't sure of the recipe to make it gluten free." In this day and age I find this absolutely disgusting. You will make someone very ill... Had my partner not ordered the starter the conversation of her being GF would not have been flagged by the waitress. We understand that people with intolerances should inform the staff but you are advertising GF when it is not. Celiac is not a choice it is an allergy We thank the waitress for her diligence as should her bosses!!! You would be speaking with a lawyer had my wife eaten gluten and fallen ill. We will not be returning nor ever recommending this place to anyone. What an absolute waste.
