    I chose the duck salad, a £17 main course (apparently). It was more like a starter size. Not a lot of duck and a pile of crispy noodles on top that added nothing to the dish. I had to ask for a side plate to dispose of them so that I could eat the rest of the dish, and also a side order of chips so I might actually feel like I had eaten something. I did tell the waiter I was disappointed with the meal. He apologised but that was it. When the bill came I suggested they take off the chips as I only needed them because the meal portion was so small. They did. I'm not going to be rushing back unfortunately.

    Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your experience with the duck salad did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will certainly review the portion sizes and composition of the dish. It's disappointing to learn that our service did not fully address your concerns on the day. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, The George at Backwell
