Took the missus out for Sunday lunch today and decided to pop into the blue boar. Suggestion to the owner - put big signs on the door that leads in from the car park- ‘make sure you register’ and also train your staff to remind every table. Because Avis has paid it and slapped on an admin fee, there is no appeal according to the parking company. Fast forward to yesterday when I got a letter from Avis stating that I had incurred a fine for illegal parking at The Blue Boar. I mention talking to the owner, because even though it was quiet, no one mentioned that we needed to register our cars for parking. We had a chat with the owner about the impact inflation was having on his business. You also need to be ok with dogs running around the place. As soon as our desert arrived the lights in the kitchen were turned off. the last in and the staff wanted to leave. The food was very good, if a little rushed. The restaurant was almost empty, just 3 tables with other guests, but it was quiet which suited us. I had a very pleasant meal on a cold midweek evening. We are then taken to the back of the restaurant, where there is large circle table and two rectangle tables pushed together, one with a cloth, one without, table not dressed at all (thanks for making that area special after taking a £120 deposit) We arrived at 7:30 our dinner plates were still not cleared by 9:30, restaurant wasn't even busy, food was so bad, zero flavour, over cooked (avoid rib of beef and croquettes - disgusting) they forgot two of our starters, messed up one of them, each meal didn't clear our plates away after we'd finished 1 hour gap between starters and mains, service was so poor, didn't take one glass away from the table the whole meal (photo) no one asking if we're ok, had to walk up and ask the owner if he could ask the staff (who were just out in the kitchen laughing and joking) if someone could come and clear our plates, he offered a round offered drinks aggressively like he thought that would solve everything, just a rubbish experience start to finish, didn't have any ginger beer, the wine tasted like ribeana, owner doesn't care, no manager organising the teenage staff, awful food, avoid at all costs. that to the bar area owners just sat their blowing his nose, slurping up his own dinner, gross. First thing we experienced as we walked through the door was the stench of poo from the toilets, walk past. 12 of us out celebrating my nans birthday. We decided to go here as a last resort as all the best pubs were fully booked. British Restaurants for Families in Abridge.Restaurants near The Blue Boar Restaurant.
