Badger's Drift

Well, the pie was great! Beef and merlot, chunky chips and some green stuff on the side (melange of green beans, broad beans and peas0 and the carrot and coriander soup went down very nicely before it. The crumble, however, was just that - crumble, yet I'm sure the menu stated there should have been apple and cherry in there somewhere and the accompanying custard was skimpy to say the least...and...I'm not sure a busy Saturday evening is the time to be inducting new staff, but hey ho - I've had worse experiences and I'll certainly be going back. Oh yes - this is The Badger at Ponteland!
