  bad day at cooks

  Visited frequently and always a good experience. Today was really bad. Had phoned in advance to make sure Sunday roast menu was still running and was advised it was. When we arrived we were told by one waiter that there was only one choice. Another waitress advised us that there was no longer a Sunday roast after being forced to order from the main menu we waited over 25 minutes for our meals which sadly were substandard. Mine was so salty I struggled to eat it. The portions were small and certainly did not reflect the price. Cooks have a great menu then they change it and that's where they fail. The restaurant was quiet today so no reason for our wait. The only reason we did not send the food back was the perceived wait for alternative dishes. Very disappointing experience. Apparently the manager thought there was too much choice on the Sunday roast menu so scrapped it. So sad as the restaurant was full when we last had it and it was excellent. Very tempted not to return.
