My wife, children and I live around the corner from this pub. We went there at 5:30 p.m. the other day to grab dinner before going to a 7:00 p.m. show at my older daughter's school.
This was our first visit to the Lion and Dragon.
After sitting on the patio for five minutes and having the waitress walk past us twice, an Asian man (the Manager?) asked if we'd been helped. We told him we would like menus.
To make a long story short....
Half an hour later we had each received one drink (my draft was warm, as was my wife's cider) and there was no sign of the food we'd ordered. Not once did the waitress check in with us.
My wife went inside to ask when our food would be ready and was told it would be "only" ten minutes. After the ten minutes had passed I informed one of the waitresses (not ours -- our waitress was nowhere to be found) that we had to leave, and she seemed genuinely annoyed that we weren't being patient.
So, after forty-five minutes....
Warm drinks, appalling service and no food from a pub that wasn't particularly busy when we got there.
I don't care how close-to-home this place is. I won't go there again.
