In other words, a very bland meal, even my little one said how the ketchup was sour! http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c3981 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:06:15 +0000 mike e c3688@http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/ you must be easly pleased or have no tastebuds or can they really make a cheese sarnie thats edible .i think not http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c3688 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:31:57 +0000 chris thompson c3686@http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/ i love the food there.. especially the cheese sandwich's.

I have to say though that the food is going as downhill as fast as the prices are going up. I had the most disgusting fish pie there the other day. Burnt mackerel clinging to the bottom of the bowl, covered in lukewarm mash and raw grated cheese. No discernible white sauce at all. All served with tired salad and chips. So basically I paid £10 for fishy mash with chips. Never again!! I really hope they sort it out because it's horrible when you see an old friend let themselves go a bit. http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c3374 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:29:20 +0000 mandy c3280@http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/ Went there last week and ordered the calamri. It was horribly bland and tasted as if it had just come from the freezer, there was no way it could have been fresh, for £10 this was great will not be going again. http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c3280 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:00:13 +0000 Shaz, Meg & Ben c3147@http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/ Overpriced, uninspiring "food." Beef sandwich, small, bland and fatty. Coronation chicken baguette was sloppy, salad garnish limp and tinged with brown.Sarnies at £6/£7 a joke. Veggie meal very basic. All in all not a pleasant experience....decor very neglected and had a sticky feel about it.Staff could be more welcoming. Used to be so much better. . http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c3147 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:58:07 +0000 Margaret Humber c2994@http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/ The Spyglass should be the most wonderful pub to eat at! It really isn't! The food is barely good enough and could be so much better. Every time we go there, they've removed something we liked from the menu and lowered the quality of the rest. They seem to be trying to run the business into the ground and can't even provide white or rose wine from a bottle! Such a shame for such an amazing location. http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2006/09/04/spyglass#c2994
