A little unfair, Heritage. I think the food at the Midland is fine and we have enjoyed numerous meals there, along with other locals. It is always busy, which in itself must mean that most are happy with it. We were there on Mother's Day with a party of 10 and despite the pub being completely full with families and their mothers, we had a great meal and excellent service. None of which breaks the bank. It is reasonable food for a reasonable price. No complaints from me. I look forward with interest to the restaurant opening up above the Norfolk which I believe will be up and running in around 4 weeks time. It won't do the Midland any harm to have a bit of competition and it will be nice to have another choice of where to eat in the village.
