Dog & Partridge by Chef & Brewer Collection

Went for a special meal with my father, but we came away disappointed. My father had the Ox Cheeks (plural on the menu) but there was only one, so surely it should be listed as an Ox cheek?? Had it been large, then maybe it could be forgiven, but it wasn't particularly large at all. He said it tasted really nice though and there was a good selection of vegetables with it, although he said the sprouts were watery so were probably frozen. I had the grilled Sea Bass with Broccoli, Peas & New potatoes. The Sea Bass skin was soft and soggy and certainly didn't look like it had been grilled. There were 3 of the smallest Broccoli florets ever, and none of them were as big as my thumb. The peas only just covered the bottom of the deep dish plate and they werent fresh but frozen peas. As for the new potatoes, there were two cut in half. Very poor value for £18.49. We also both had a half pint of coke each and these were almost £3 each, thats £6 a pint........for coke?? That's dearer than Beer!!! It's no wonder pubs are struggling if they can't offer value for money. And be assured, this IS just a pub, not a Michelin star restaurant as it almost likes to put itself across as. Not the worse place I have been, but very poor value since the last time I visited here.

The dog and partridge is a gorgeous quintessential English hotel with all the quirkiness you would expect in a 500 year old building. We stayed in room 4 'the secret room' and it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding. Mark looked after us very well. Tutbury itself is a pretty little village with antique shops and coffee shops. I will definitely be staying in this hotel again when next in the area.

Excellent service from start to finish mark and the team are amazing nothing ever an issue we will be returning. They have a great selection of food for everybody and the drinks menu is also good to choice from. Keep up the hard work and we will definatly be returning
