Visited 18th May 2014.
I have decided that I've been a little lazy so far this year and not really been making much of an effort to keep up with my pub visits so I have booked a hotel for Sunday night. It's in Worksop so it's a decent drive away and should give me a fair crack at packing in a few stops on the way. I managed to get up fairly early (for me, on a Sunday) and was out of the house by nine and in the first pub of the day just after eleven leaving plenty of time to order breakfast. The pub was fairly busy and it took a while to get served. When I was eventually served I ordered the traditional breakfast and a large latte and then went and sat in a booth while waiting for it to arrive. And wait and wait and wait. It did eventually arrive and although it looked fine when I tried it everything on the plate was cold. I then sat waiting for someone to come and ask me how my meal was but that turned out to be a wait in vain. I then became a little proactive and went in search of my waiter who was very happy to replace my meal for a hot one but didn't offer to refill my coffee which had long been drunk while waiting for the breakfast to arrive. I realise he was under no obligation to do that but given the circumstances I thought it might have been a nice gesture. It was a nice looking pub with an attractive curving bar and the general feel of the place was very pleasant. Sadly, I left feeling quite dissatisfied over the meal, not a good start to the day but hopefully it would get better.
