We visited the Fox and Hounds at Merley…
We visited the Fox and Hounds at Wimbourne with friends today. We should have known better after the way we were treated on ordering drinks. We asked for 2 and a half pints of coke. When 2 halves were poured and we commented on our actual request the bar maid just made a sigh as if this was our fault. We decided to order food. This could only be done at the table via the app. We wanted some sausages for the dogs. When we asked at the bar we were told they are on the menu somewhere. We checked again but could not find them. We ordered the trio of meats roasts x2, a burger and a steak pie. The food arrived and my husband used the salt cellar. The top was faulty and he ended up with far too much salt on the meal. The trio of roasts had no pork, the Yorkshire pudding was hard and the vegetables looked like they had been sat around for quite a while. As for the stuffing it looked dreadful. The burger was raw in the centre and the steak pie had little to no steak and left an aftertaste in my mouth. When we pointed out the missing pork no explanation or apology was made. On advising the burger was raw we were told it was safe to eat. The burgers are not fresh but frozen and defrosted so raw is not safe to eat. The landlord did begrudgingly hand back £20 for the burger, well dropped the note onto the table. There were no apologies for any of the issues. This is definitely a place to avoid unless you enjoy poor service and equally poor food. I would have left a no star review but this is not possible.
