We regularly eat at the Black Lion, usually on Italian night and usually choose the same dishes. We were disappointed last week generally. The Spaghetti with Tomatoes & Basil dish had no fresh basil, and just a few tiny chopped up pieces of tomato as a garnish, so really just a plate of spaghetti. The Baked Alaska tasted more like wet icing sugar and was the wrong texture, but it was edible. The portion was smaller than usual. But the portion of sticky toffee pudding was tiny, half the usual size and so I very politely complained about it, suggesting a modest price reduction. This was met with a terse outright refusal and we were told that was the new portion size. It was made clear by the gentleman issuing the bill that, despite us being very regular customers, it was of no concern to him if we didn't return again. I subsequently sent a polite email to the Black Lion mentioning our minor complaint and the apparent lack of interest in retaining us as customers, but received no reply.
