Oh dear! What a incredible disappointment!

We stopped off at The Pickerel Inn on Saturday, early afternoon, about 2.30pm, hoping to get a bite to eat, having seen the ‘Food Served’ sign on the main road, enticing us to pay a visit.

Surely the biggest gastronomic mistake we have made in a LONG time!

Having browsed the menu, I decided that a cheeseburger would be pretty safe, and my wife picked a prawn sandwich.

Well we waited for quite a while for the food to arrive and as we were the only ones eating (always a warning sign..) I assume it was because the oven and chip pan needed heating up!

When the food finally arrived it looked pretty awful, and tasted a whole lot worse. The prawns were quite obviously frozen ones that had been thrown in a microwave, were without any sort of sauce and were between 2 slices of the cheapest brown bread you can buy.

As for my burger, it was possibly the most flavourless item I’ve eaten. There were onions in the burger somewhere but again, the cheapest of the cheap, with a tiny piece of molten cheese in the cheapest bap in town! Oh, and the chips were soggy and horrible…

We decided to just pay-up and get the hell out and to be fair I was quite relieved that the barman didn’t ask how our meal was!

The address of The Pickerel Inn is 38 High Street, Ixworth. I’ve only added that as I would hate anyone to wander in there by mistake…
