Sawyers Arms - Tikokino

This is a great traditional countryside pub with delicious food, a fun atmosphere, and is dog-friendly. There is plenty of parking available and they are open for lunch.

Six of us went for a meal here, it was a bad choice I 'm afraid. We were celebrating a 75th birthday at 5.30pm on 29th Oct were the only ones eating. So you couldn 't say the waitress was overworked by any means. She was she in a really bad mood, even before we arrived, we got the flack. The highlight was when I asked if MSG was in the sauce. (I 'm allergic). She visited the kitchen three times about it, but when she slamed the 2kg bucket of processed gravy mix on the table, for me to 'Check it yourself. ' It took the cake!... All we could do was sit open mouthed... Our friend 's Ceasar salad was a huge disappointment, no dressing, 1/2 egg, no bacon, the chicken was dry the croutons from a pkt. Our steaks were nicely cooked, but the salad chips were uninteresting. Obviously, we won 't return. In hindsight, what happened was more like an episode of Fawlty Towers, except it wasn 't funny. Hotel highlights: Quiet
