The Eagle and Sun, Droitwich

What a disappointment!!! Beautiful & interesting seting and by modern standards an acceptable refurb inside. The carvery - much vaunted if you believe their blurb (I dont't) - was ordinary to put it kindly.

My beef had obviously been hacked off the main lump quite much earlier- doubtless in anticipation of the inrush of customers that didn't materialise. Why not? Well I am not a pub/restaurant owner/manager but could it have something to do with the fact that by 9.30 you made extremely uncomfortable beng there and before 10.00 were told "we're shutting now".

I have no doubt that they have the right to shut any time they like but I think that if the hours are unusual - surely most people would expect to be there until 11.00 without being made to feel uncomfortable - then they shold say so ab initio. It may, as it claime on the A Board outside be the best carvery in the area - but if it is this area of Worcestershire must be a culinary black-hole!
