Hathaways - Lea Marston

I only had the fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce, and it was delicious. The staff were very helpful and the restaurant is dog-friendly.

The menu was limited, bar and seating needs updating.

Really dissatisfied. Was quite quiet when we arrived. We booked a table but on arrival was told to sit anywhere. Had to walk around to try and find a clean table. Requested a child menu to be told none printed. The prices on the menu are above average for a pub so you would expect some nice food. Unfortunately not. Cajun chicken burger was like rubber. Lamb shank was all fat, should of come with seasonal vegetables and got 3 sticks of broccoli. Cheesy garlic bread was rock hard. £18 for a rump steak which in fairness was cooked correctly but came with a whole load of salad and 6 chips. Really was not enjoyable. Staff delivering and removing plates just lean over all the customers rather than going around the table, didn’t speak. There is certainly room for improvement here. Was such a shame because it had good decor and felt welcoming

I paid £24 for the superfood salad with salmon, but it arrived without the quinoa or chickpeas that were supposed to be included. Instead, it was just a plate of leaves and olives. The salmon portion was very small, leaving me still hungry. Overall, it was overpriced and disappointing.

Desserts were also a mixed bag. The chocolate tart was fantastic, but the chocolate cookie desserts were just big cookies with ice cream, which was rather disappointing. The sticky toffee pudding was overcooked and tasted almost burnt. On a positive note, the place was clean, and the service was very friendly.
