The Italian Farmhouse

I go there quite often for lunch, and usually get their Happy Hour meal, which has a fixed price for a starter and 'any' pizza or pasta. Unfortunately, whenever I have asked for a seafood pasta (My favourite), I've always been told I can't have it as it's not part of the deal! I'd be more than happy to pay a small supplement so that I could have my favourite pasta, but sadly, this is also 'not allowed'. What a pity - as otherwise, I have no complaints about the food or service at all!

Came here yesterday for a quick meal.. bar staff and waiting staff (no name badges) were very helpful and professional. Starters were great cream of vegetable, only niggle I had was with my main, there version of mixed grill. Chicken was a little dry but everything else was delicious, there side sauce which was there blue cheese was the best ever I've had in any restaurant. Great place for couples and family's . Will be going back soon with my child next time.

Came here due to the high ratings but it was dreadful. It started when the manager came over to drop our drinks off and started having a go at the waiter over our table telling him to make guests walk around the front, despite him trying to explain he was cleaning the table for them and asked them to wait outside due to social distancing. Once our starters arrived the bruschetta had mould all over the cheese. It was sent back and returned almost immediately and the mouldy cheese had clearly just been picked off. I had calamari which was over cooked and the batter was falling off. The mains were much worse. We both ordered pastas and the ingredients were clearly frozen. The meatballs were awful and disintegrated in your mouth and tasted of nothing. My chicken pasta was full off water and not fresh chicken. The sauce was also split. Unfortunately we will not be returning. Definitely not an authentic itailian like they claim.

We waited over an hour for our meals, only for half of them to arrive cold. Staff for the most part too busy having banter with their mates rather than seeing to tables. Pizza is probably supermarket frozen pizza, topped and then heated - very rubbery texture. I'd advise avoiding the wild mushroom option - just tastes of oily mud. Redeeming 1 start because the starter was pretty good.
