Food in the Vale?

[Suzita]

Just wondering if anyone has been into the Vale pub and had food recently? I think they have updated their menu?

Its really handy for me but dont want to take a friend there tomorrow night if its not good? Would appreciate any comments from people who have dined there......thank you all!

Hi Suzita

I've seen the menu change at The Vale many many times in the last few years which gave me hope the first couple of times but thereafter just seemed like desperation on their part. This COULD be the relaunch that proves me wrong but experience suggests otherwise. Sorry if that's not of any practical help - just a general guide

There are several other places which can be recommeneded butI'm guessing the Vale is your local and you'd rather not travel much?

[Suzita]

Thanks. Ive been there a few times for drinks and thought i might put total faith into the good old Vale and go for food!

Just thinking of the beer garden at the back...i may give it a go and see what happens! Cheers SeanMacgabhann

Had food there on Friday and (other than the chips) was very disappointed again. Would give it a miss for food if I were you. Rear beer garden is still an okay spot.

I went a couple of weeks ago - quiche and salad - quiche was cheap shop bought - salad average. Friends had burger and chps - looked like the best option

I was dismayed a couple of years ago to find that the fish goujons looked, and, tasted suspiciously like cheap fish fingers. The don't keep the Becks very well either.

I had a swift half in the garden last night and something lamby smelled delicious.

Rarely eat there though!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ooh so did I - about 7ish it was. Very lovely it was too. Piped music aside

[ratty]

Yeah the music was shocking when we were there (up until about 6pm) we then left and had all the neighbours round for beers in the garden! FAB!

[Suzita]

Thanks guys....still in 2 minds! Might call in there for a drink after work first and smell how good this 'lamby' dish is!!

It's a rare occasions that I go in there but on the few occasions that I have recently or over the past few years it always seems to smell of burnt lamb. So if you like your lamb don't expect it to be rare or rare to middling, it'll be burnt to a cinder by the smell of things.
