Forest Lodge Hotel and The Bank Hotel

I arrived at the Forest Lodge Hotel expecting a delicious dinner....sometimes things don't go according to plan. N/A - stands for not acceptable. It looked like the N/A was there to stay, rather than bad luck on the night.

Disappointment levels were high for the second time this week: The Bank Hotel took its Reuben menu offering off the menu and replaced it with a "Cuban" (i.e. a fancy name for a ham and cheese sandwich). I contacted the Bank to express my disappointment and received the following reply: "Thanks for the feedback. Our menu changes seasonally but it's always good to hear our customers thoughts! Have you tried the Cuban Sandwich? We reckon that one gives the Reuben a run for its money! Thanks, The Bank team". I'm not sure in which universe a ham, cheese (not to forget the addition of mustard) sandwich would ever give a Reuben a run for its money, but I'm sure glad that it's not this one.




Update: I went back to the Forest Lodge Hotel a week later and again found the Reuben crossed out with chalk. Investigating further, the staff explained that it technically is on the menu every day but regularly sells out so you have to get in early. Third time lucky?
