the robin hood hotel

the experience i had at the robin hood actually left me feeling so mad.do not normally go out of my way to write something like this but just wanted them to know how disappointed i am.

i ordered the hood trio of sliders which consisted of: a cheeseburger, a pulled pork burger with slaw, and a peri peri chicken burger - with a side of sweet potato fries.order came out - appeared to look good...
peri peri chicken - was basically a rocket burger. rocket leaves, some aioli and a piece of chicken the size of a 20c piece. which was unseasoned and dry - where was the peri peri? lacking any sort of flavour.
cheeseburger - did not actually involve cheese. should have been called a sauce burger.
pulled pork burger - was literally pulled pork - no sauce or flavour whatsoever, the slaw consisted of red cabbage and no slaw sauce - again completely lacking flavour.

mr z had a chicken schnitzel with pepper sauce. how could you go wrong right? it came out, looked and was soggy. pepper sauce was gross and chips - not hot and hard. 

the worst part is the fact that this meal cost over $50 not including drinks. it was so disappointing when you are really looking forward to a nice meal out and the night was completely ruined. definitely would not gobackor recommend to anyone.

i love this place, it's usually awesome but i have to save someone from ordering the same terrible salad i just paid $25 for! avoid the haloumi salad with watermelon & orange: it sucks, it's small, it's overpriced. rh i love you and will definitely comebackbut that salad definitely marred your until now, flawless track record of my many visits.

a very bad experience has spoilt the place for me.. i want to preface my review by saying that i have always loved the robin hood in terms of a fabulous overall dining experience. i have never in my whole life complained about food & definitely never sent anything back.

tonight i ordered the rack of lamb cooked rare & it was served to me completely raw in the middle. i poked it around on the plate for a while which didn't make it any less blue so i spent 10 minutes trying to get the eye of the wait staff. fair enough, they were very busy. so i went up to the counter & started by apologetically saying to the waitress that i hate to be a bother but the lamb was too rare & would she mind sending itbackto the kitchen to be cooked a little longer? this woman was so rude, gave a big loud sigh & came over to the table with me & then announced "this is how we cook rare here". errrrrm, actually, it's blue, i know the difference! she took the plate away in a huff.

in the meantime, i was still waiting for my garlic bread which we reminded the wait staff about after they brought the entrees out. all the others at my table had finished their mains before mine had comeback(which i accept responsibility for as it took me a long time to go up to the counter). when it camebackit was cooked beautifully, the same girl brought itbackwith her big, dirty attitude & then brought the garlic bread once i had finished the lamb.

all that aside, the rest at our table very much enjoyed their meals. take that horrid waitress out of the picture & it's still a lovely pub with mostly wonderful food.
