The Good Companion
The Good Companion is in a good position, next to one of the main roads out off the island, and just over a mile from where we live. Tim passes it in the car on his way to work, but we've never been inside before.
As you saw from the previous photo, we went there for a meal on the festive menu, which I had booked about a month ago online. They do need to get their act together though, as when we stepped in the door, they asked what food we had ordered (I know that's a reasonable request). I had to explain that I never received an email asking me what meals we were wanting so that's why we hadn't let them know, and they said they would see if they had enough food in - hopefully they could rustle something up! When I looked at the original booking confirmation email, it clearly said the deposit they had taken was for the "festive menu" so you'd think that would have meant they would have been prepared - that, and the fact the menu book said "no need to prebook"! They said it was their first year of online booking, so they do need to get themselves organised!
To sum all that up, food establishments, if you want your customers to let you know what meals they want in advance, please email them!!
