"Four of us dined at The Exchequer today, August 8th, 2023, and we were quite disappointed. Two of us ordered the risotto, which was very salty and nearly inedible for those who don't consume salt. The fish and chips were acceptable, as was the Thai curry. However, the desserts were a major letdown. The chocolate mousse with salted caramel ice cream was essentially just a bowl of ice cream topped with a thin strand of chocolatey sauce from a plastic bottle. If there was any banoffee sauce, it was nearly impossible to detect. There were only a few crumbs of honeycomb and a tiny sprinkle of raspberry, all priced at a steep £9.50. We ordered one starter, four main courses, and two desserts, along with a pint of beer and four non-alcoholic drinks, totaling over £120. It felt quite expensive for what we received. Although we didn’t want to create a fuss in front of our guests, we won’t be rushing back anytime soon."
