Review:

I had a burger at this pub before and was looking forward to this one.  We were dining with another couple and they both ordered burgers as well.  I selected cheddar and onion marmalade as my extras.  The food arrived quickly which surprised me and when we all cut into our burgers we understood why - all three were raw in the middle even though we'd order medium-well.  We brought this to the attention of our waitress who apologised and quickly whisked them away.  Around 15 minutes later freshly cooked burgers were brought to the table followed by apologies from three different members of staff.  Although the food should not have been served like that they staff did quickly rectify the situation without issue.  My rating is based on the burger I ate and not the one I initially received.  In addition to the apologies deserts were offered on the house as a goodwill gesture.  The burger was good although it still lacked the elusive flavour that I am seeking.

Once again I've given a burger a rating of 3, what I'm looking for is perfection - when I find it I'll give it a 5 burger rating.
