The Metropolitan, Didsbury

I recently went for lunch at this pub with a friend and was very disapointed.
First of all, the food and drink are very overpriced. I ordered a prawn starter for almost 7.00. It came with three prawns in a greasy sauce(said thermador sauce which ive had many times before - it did not resemble this!) my main was a pork dish was was increadably salty and very small, and my dessert, a baked apple in puff pastly was overly sweet with soggy pastry.Awful! For the price ,its just not acceaptable! The service was not much better, we had to get up and ask for menu's and then again to order as the waiting staff(all very young) seemed to congregate around the bar area giggling and seemed put out when I asked if we could order. I also went for lunch with my parents months ago(cant remember what we had) and was bad then but thought I;d give it another go. Never again. This is a beautiful pub and I think it relies on people frequenting it just on its looks but to charge food at the price it is, but at bad quality is just not acceptable. There are lots of other lovley places to eat on burton road. Go to one of them instead!
