We had a very disappointing meal out at Cardrona Speights Ale House in Mt Eden last night. We have been here in previous years and had good meals, but last night we were there with friends as part of the quiz and it was definitely not flash.
I started with a Porter to drink which I thoroughly enjoyed. For my main I had the Drunken Steak which I requested to be rare. The majority of the steak was in fact medium-well and the sauce wasn’t anything special. Jane had the Pig Hunter, which is a huge pork loin; she enjoyed the dish. Others at the table had the salmon (described as the most tasteless salmon they had ever had) and a beef salad, that had more kumara than anything.
For dessert I decided to have the Chocolate Mud Cake and Jane had the Cromwell Crumble. 45 minutes after placing our order I went and asked if they were far away and then proceeded to cancel the orders about another 10 minutes later. We got our refund but they did insist of bringing the desserts anyway and were very apologetic (which was good). The Mud Cake however came without the fudge sauce but the Crumble was good.
So, all in all not a great night of food and we won’t be back in a hurry.
