Trying to eat at The Calder
Under the illussion that The Calder was a pub we went in there today and the conversation flowed like this:
Husband A pint of Boddingtons please Barperson Boddingtons is off Husbsand A pint of Teltleys then please Barperson Were out of Tetleys Husband Have yo any Guiness? Barperson makes no repsponse just goes off and pours a pint of Guiness which she bangs down in front of him. Later we decide to try some food. I choose a Tuna Steak and Salad. He goes to bar to order. Husband A tuna steak salad Bar person We dont do tuna steak salad (they do it is on the menu) We do shredded tuna salad. Husband knows this means the tuan is coming from a tin and is wary that it might contain hidden glutten or dairy products both of which I am allergic to, so asks if either of these are in the shredded tuna. Barperson replies Dunknow. Husband Could you go and look please as it is important. Barperson turns in a strop and comes back with a can which she gives to h/b so he can look. The writing is too small for him to see so he does not order. Ever had the feeling you should have gone somewhere else to eat? Is this place always like this it is the first time I have been there? |

Re: Trying to eat at The Calder
Went in with my friend the other week but it was packed so we went to the Black Horse. Nice food at very reasonable prices. Sounds like the bar person needs some lessons in customer relations to me.

Re: Trying to eat at The Calder
I've only ever had lunch there twice, both times at least a year ago, and both times the food and service were very good.
Sorry to hear it isn't now, or that they are employing an idiot.

Re: Trying to eat at The Calder
I too have eaten in the Calders numerous times - both during the day and in the evening, and have never had any trouble with the staff or the food.
