At Macdonald Bear - Woodstock

I was really disappointed with this restaurant. The food was very average and ketchup was served in plastic sachets! But when it came to desert the attitude of the manager was dreadful. My husband wanted one scoop of ice cream but was told he could only have 3. They had run out of shortbread for my desert and gave me a packet biscuit! No apologies! The attitude of the manager was unacceptable.

The waiter, Daniel, was accommodating and had good interesting knowledge about the building. We loved his service! Although we did allow the chef to serve the beef how they thought was best to serve, it was too rare which was a shame. The chips could have done with a touch longer cooking also. The rest of the food was excellent. I recommend the calamari starter. The place was almost empty which I suppose some would prefer, we found it a little awkward at times.

We were very happy with the food and the service. However when we came to pay -expecting the. £20 discount as we booked through Fork. The Staff denied being Fork members. That was the only disappointment of the everning. As we use Macdoonald Bear as our choice please reassure us that it is a Fork restaurant.j Thank you.

Food was excellent in taste , cooked and presented perfectly.

Food and wine choices excellent. When I ordered the potted trout I was expecting a small pot with trout and toast, however the starter came out as a trout cocktail, with copious amounts of lettuce, which for me spoiled the dish. I chose the blade of beef for main course, which was tender and flavoursome. The dish was lacking gravy (no small gravy boat on the side) just a smattering on the plate, which left the meat day. The food was not very hot either. I am not usually a person who adds negative comments onto companies websites, however I hope my feedback allows the chef to make some small changes to enhance the experience.
