   The food was only just about warm which was such a shame as the taste was as good as usual and this let the whole experience down

   The turkey was a little overdone so a little dry and dupiaze potatoes were a little overdone but saying that we love the nailors so will go back, but will try something off the menu instead.

   Excellent service for 10 of us, all of us had the carvery and agreed the meat was a generous portion and plenty of choice of vegetables

   Our party of 4 arrived at 1 o’clock for a pre booked table and the food and drinks orders were taken quite promptly but the simple starters did not arrive until 45 minutes later. By 2.15 our starter plates had still not been cleared and there was no sign of our main courses being served. Despite the lounge being only half full no staff had given attention to the area where we were sitting. Eventually I approached the bar area where I spoke to the waitress who had shown us to our table and I had to say to her three times that service appeared a bit slow but when were we going to receive our main courses, eventually she replied “I don’t know, I didn’t take your order”! I was then about to address the same query to the waiter (who turned out to be the manager?) who had served our starters, but he bore down on me saying that he wanted me to leave. I asked why and he raised his voice saying that I had been aggressive. I was surprised to say the least and when I asked what he thought I had said he could only say “I don’t know but it sounded aggressive ”!! I tried to calmly reason with him but he seemed very agitated and although he did admit that we had an unacceptably long wait he was still very keen that we should leave the premises. After all of this farcical behaviour we were happy to comply. I should point out that three of our party were in out seventies, my wife is in her late sixties and none of us has been aggressive in our lives. If you should make the mistake of visiting the Nailers be prepared for a long wait for your meal but be careful not to complain as your justifiable annoyance may perceived as “aggression”.

   Lovely pub with a great food menu. Carvery and a full menu with such great choices. Food was delicious. Staff were lovely, and a special shout out to Lorraire who made our birthday celebration really special.

    Been to the Nailors a number of times. However food not great this time , dry, stodgy dauphinous, hardly any cauliflowers in its cheese sauce. Surfaces were sticky with food particles everywhere. Cranberry sauce wasn t available. Shame as its in a lovely area. Not sure whether I d return after the disappointing experience
