Simple Steak Baguette

We have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and always found it to be enjoyable food in a beautiful part of lancashire, it was our preferred desination for a bar snack. We had paid for our meal before receiving it a fish and chips (big portion very fresh) and a steak baguette, on order they asked Q. How we would like it cooked - A. Medium rare. It came out and was distinctly grey, very greasy (it soaked the bread completely) with with an odd flavour like it had been boiled in a cool pan. We highlighted this to the staff who tried to fob us off "that, that was how it came". The manager who had been cooking hid in the kitchen and offered us half the price of the sandwich back. This place has gone backwards, old menus faling to bits with overwritten prices, the place looking tatty. I could see in the kitchen when we paid, a shelf with piles of tinned custard on. I dont know if it was the chefs day off but it is a great shame that one of the locals best kept secrets for good homely cooking is now rated POOR.
