Called by for Sunday lunch today on the off chance of a free table. We had heard that the Red Alligator can get pretty busy on a weekend. Staff and landlord were welcoming and friendly. Carvery was excellent for £6.95. We had pork which was delicious and the vegetables did not disappoint along with the fab Yorkshire puddings.

Service was was almost non existent. Eventually after ten minutes we were served our drinks. Went to get the wife's carvery. No roast potatoes ready. Yorkshire puddings had been burnt. The meat was so dry. I then went back for my carvery, guess what still no roast potatoes. No cauliflower cheese. So I refused to have my dinner. We had a table booked for 1 o'clock so there was no excuse for running out of vegetables. No choppy mint left and I had to ask for gravy. There were 7 of us not one us enjoyed our meals.
We had a delightful Sunday lunch experience. One of our guests required a gluten-free meal and the restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate us. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
I went for a roast dinner on New Year's Day. I was told over the phone that we would receive one, but the chef said no when we arrived. I ordered the perfect pie, which was served with plastic-like mashed potatoes and raw vegetables. The pie was terrible, and the experience was disappointing for me.
