Not good. Yorkshire pudding was soggy and hard at the same time... didn't even think that was possible but apparently so. Not enough gravy. Didn't have horseradish sauce which was a fail. Some english mustard made the beef acceptable. On the plus side very accomodating bar staff... but had sneaky money making sales techniques such as asking if we wanted any sides with our roast dinners... insane! Was bullied from the word go- Michael hated my top, Jason called me a twat and Jack told me to 'Fuck Off'. The abuse takes it down to a 4. LATER: 5. Cookie dough mountain was good but all the spoons were out. Emily Waterfall
Hmmm. Today I think was a shocker. Not enough gravy. Potatoes were not crispy. I could nearly count the number of peas on one hand and the Yorkshire pudding was soggy. The knife and cutlery was not very good. I am gonna brew for a bit to decide on a score. Maybe I can find some positives. LATER: 6/10
Well after re-reading my review which I submitted straight after the meal I feel I was maybe a bit harsh giving it a 5/10. But it was only the pudding which gave it the extra point. The actual Sunday Dinner itself was extremely disappointing with the soggy Yorkshire, lack of veg, not enough gravy and well not very crispy potatoes. The atmosphere was good. The lack of chairs and flimsy cutlery was annoying but there was 10 of us to be fair. So overall a bit of a mixed bag for this one. Jason Patterson
Score 6 - Facist peas, exterminating the carrots and swamping the Yorkshire in a sea of shit vegetables. Why? Why bother with peas? If you weren't there, I wouldn't miss you. Banished to the side of the plate. Tough beef, clearly overmicrowaved and curled at the edges. Tasted not bad, but maybe I'm pitying it. 1 1/2 baby carrots didn't touch the sides, enormous Yorkshire, like a soggy cake, normally a plus but couldn't carry what lay on top of it. Potatoes OK. Cutlery made eating a chore, and the inequality of the plates was farsical. Brocolli on some, cauliflower on other, more gravy, less gravy, Jealousy rife. All in all, promised lots, mediocrity delivered. I did like the music though. Matt Small
It's all about the Yorkshire! When there's a giant yorkshire pudding involved, it's never going to be less than 6. The meat was pretty good, with a decent amount of gravy to keep it all moist. Potatos were probably the low point. The best thing about skyrack was it was much better than I assumed it was going to be, kind of like Susan Boyle in roast dinner form. Thankfully, there were no Wild Horses, and not a Piers Morgan in sight. Jack Madden
I thought it was a good effort. Hot. Generous portions. Some people seemed to get brocolli and cauliflower, which I didn't!? Fairness clearly not the Skyrack's strongpoint. However - there was 10 of us and we all managed to find seating despite the pub being busy. Excellent service from the staff. To be honest - I thought it was a very pleasant experience. If anything, it was ruined by the company constantly slagging off the dinner with unjustified, unsubstantiated claims. 7. Michael Blades
On arriving at the Skyrack it was next to impossible to find a table and not because there was ten of us, but just the limited amount of seating in that massive establishment. Only the smartest people can outwit the simpletons not drinking and playing with a 2p coin whilst taking up three tables. Now the tables have been obtained it was only a matter of sending search parties out for chairs to actually sit at said tables. Eventually being seated with a very nice pint which quenched my thirst I fancied looking at a menu to enquire about the price as it was obvious to what was being ordered. Unfortunately there were no menus to be seen so out went the search parties again and returned with the pubs one and only menu. £3.49 very reasonable. The meals were cooked in what seemed like no time at all but on closer inspection it seemed I only had half the veg on offer compared to others at the table. No broccoli or cauliflower for me, just peas and carrots. If I had the choice of which two veg to have it wouldn't have been peas and carrots. The whole meal sat inside a giant yorkshire pud which would have been good if it was possible to cut into. The knife was so blunt all you could do was push the yorkshire around and hope at some point it might erode. The only good thing about the meal was the amount of gravy but it still wasn't enough for the stupidly large and dry yorkshire. It is at this point I realise £3.49 was not reasonable for what was recieved. To fill me up I ordered a hot chocolate fudge cake and come on the clues in the name it’s supposed to be hot not just slightly tepid. When the waiter was asked to get an extra spoon he responded with 'all the big knives are out'. This was surprising as the pub had quietened down by this point. They must actually have less big spoons then chairs. On the whole very disappointing 3.5 Chris Hodgson
5.5/10. This had potential, £3.49 for the roast dinner is good value and when it came out it looked very impressive. A big Yorkshire pudding with everything else inside it, the meat was very good and they could provide 10 people with beef dinners. The pub itself had a good atmosphere, a slight lack of seating but we managed to get 3 tables fairly quickly and there was an excellent feel to the place along with friendly staff. However, the meal came out too quickly (ie. clearly microwaved!), the Yorkshire pudding was too chewy and difficult to cut. The roast potatoes were lacking any crisp to them and were sub standard and the veg wasn't great. X-factor contestant: Kaite Waissel because she had potential but wasn't very good and like the Yorkshire pudding, you tried to finish it off but it just kept fighting back! Jim Gardner
