点评:Very sad to see this once thriving and superb pub looking sad and neglected .3 of us went on a lovely tuesday afternoon with the intention of having lunch and a few drinks. We've been using "The Val" for 15 years having a caravan a short walk away we've always enjoyed our visits.
This time however on entering the beer garden we were greeted by overgrown hedges, rubbish in the bushes, weeds all over the patio and filthy stools !
We ordered drinks , they were fine, the lady serving was a bit dour, we got some menus. The food choices are very basic, jacket spuds, £8.50 ! Lasagne, chilli, scampi etc all £14. - £16 ! The previous menu by the long standing ex licensees was a wonderful mix of contemporary dishes, this resembles a menu from the '80's all that was missing was Black Forest Gateaux!
There really was nothing we fancied and with 2 out of the 3 of us being veggie, we struggled. But the deciding factor in us leaving and not ordering was the afformentioned neglected surroundings. If the public area are so dirty, what's the kitchen like?
We supped up and left, saddened by what "The Val" has become. We'll give it another try, there's nowhere else in Llandullas really. Maybe on our return, things will have improved, we can but hope.
翻译:看到这家曾经繁荣一时的酒吧现在看起来黯淡无光,真是令人难过。我们三个人在一个美好的星期二下午去了那里,打算吃午饭,喝几杯。我们光顾“The Val”已经 15 年了,步行不远就有一辆大篷车,我们一直很享受这里的时光。
然而,这次进入啤酒花园时,我们看到的是杂草丛生的树篱、灌木丛中的垃圾、露台上到处都是杂草和肮脏的凳子!
我们点了饮料,味道不错,服务员有点阴沉,我们拿到了一些菜单。食物选择很简单,夹克土豆,8.50 英镑!千层面、辣椒、虾等,全部 14 英镑 - 16 英镑!长期前特许经营商之前的菜单是当代菜肴的完美组合,这份菜单类似于 80 年代的菜单,唯一缺少的是黑森林蛋糕!
那里真的没有什么我们喜欢的,而且我们三个人中有两个是素食主义者,我们很纠结。但我们离开而不点餐的决定性因素是上述被忽视的环境。如果公共区域这么脏,厨房又怎么样?
我们吃完饭就离开了,对“The Val”现在的样子感到难过。我们会再试一次,兰杜拉斯真的没有其他地方了。也许我们回来的时候,情况会有所改善,我们只能希望如此。
