The Forty Public House - Grimsby

This is definitely the place I go out for lunch/ dinner most in Grimsby. It has a lot of great items on their menu, especially the burgers, tapa Thursday's...

The beer was good, service was acceptable, food was terrible. Both my husband and I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was overdone, batter was dry and very crunchy, fries were also overdone, just short of being burnt. They advertise home cut fries on their menu, they were thin frozen fries. Overpriced for the quality, will not be going back.

Salmon was not what I order it was supposed to lemon flavor had maple or something fish and chips were terrible the fish was cooked earlier and then re heated never saw anything like that fires were wilted and over cooked. Not sure what is so hard about an extra veg burnt carrots and beets.

The place was ok at best, but I doubt I'd go back if I'm in that area.Service was ok. A dinner was forgotten there were 6 of us dining), so we waited until everyone was served and our food was cold. My lamb was very fatty, and the potatoes had way too much rosemary in it! The veggies looked like they were taken out of the garbage and put on my plate.This, of course, is only based my experience. Perhaps the kitchen staff was having an off night. Out of 6, only one had a good meal.I'm sure it's an ok place for the locals. I would not recommend it for anyone out of town, again just my opinion.. please try for yourself !

In Regards To Your Response: Maybe you should get a new job as cooking is clearly not for you. If you valued your customers than you should have not put out the quality you did and corrected it yourself before it reached the table. Also, based on some of the most recent reviews, I'm clearly not the only one who has a problem with the quality either. I like how you believe that your mistakes should fall on the customer.I've gone ahead and attached a picture for you of some of my food that is clearly burnt. Thanks for coming out with your rude response as I was just giving an honest review. Now people will also know that you clearly don't care at all and with that attitude? I'd highly doubt you would have corrected anything. Now you get 1 star.They brand themselves high, but very mediocre food. As someone who both cooks and is a food critic I must say I was surprised at the low quality for the price.1. Garlic bread they claim has loads of cheese, didn't have much at all but was fresh so you basically paid $11.50 for a loaf of bread.2. The mussels were delicious this was their best dish, however, they were very small mussels and at $16. Other places offer the larger ones for this price.3. The steak was very plain for something to apparently have butter, the pasta and parm was very plain and nothing special and the French fries were not fresh at all and the vegetables weren't even steamed long enough. Parm dinner $20 Steak dinner $30.4. The server was absolutely fantastic which is the only reason for the two star.Conclusion: Around $96 for the dinner that was mediocre at best. I'd recommend adding more flavor to your dishes (spices and change the ingredients and lastly if you make a claim on your menu ie. loads of cheese, please do so. Probably won't be going back to give it another chance after that price and quality and it's very unfortunate as I was looking for a new go to place. Best of luck :
