De Rodes Arms Stonehouse Pizza Carvery

I enjoyed the visit, but somethings that frustrated me. The app didn’t use the voucher I attached for a free drink, the staff were great, and sorted it without question. The pub itself was ‘cloudy’ I returned home and had to shower, my clothes straight in the wash. A burnt greasy kinda smell. It wasn’t great. You could see a mist as you glanced accross the pub. Probably means I won’t be returning anytime soon tbh. The food wasn’t as good as my previous visit, but this could have been the experience with the most that knocked it. We ate the food and it was okay, as expected. Took a while to arrive, it wasn’t busy. Staff were great!

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the eating area was clean and tidy. We had battered mushrooms with garlic dip which were very disappointing as they were soggy and not crispy as expected to have with a garlic dip. The dip was quite runny too so didn't work well with the mushrooms. Previously, De Rhodes Arms did breaded mushrooms which were very crispy and juicy served with a thick garlic dip which was delicious, these were much better in my opinion. We then had pizzas which were very nice, the only complaint is that there is far too much cheese on them and can be difficult to eat and drowns out the other flavours on the pizza.

Had a wonderful afternoon with my fiancé this afternoon (18.11.23). We had the festive 3 course meal and both left feeling VERY bloated indeed.
