Service? What service? 4th April 2008

We've been there for drinks before and as far as a place that plies you with odd Belgian beers goes, it ok.

Having trundled there for lunch the other day, well that was a different matter.

Deciding to take them up on the £6.50 lunch special, I was immediately taken by the fact that the only thing that was £6.50 on the lunch menu was what amounted to starters - crab cakes, and the like. The 1/2 roast chicken came with a £1.50 supplementary charge.

Fair enough. And it was really really tasty.

The chips tasted like they were cooked the night before, not sold and then refried that morning. They were so hard they could have been used as weapons.

The service was pretty abysmal as well. The cry from a fellow eater of "salt, please" was unheard by enough people that he had to go to the bar to get it. Similarly, getting the cheque at the end took ages.

I'd recommend the place for a beer in the evening that's off the usual lager / ale track, but as far as lunchtime grub, me and my £10 will continue to go elsewhere.

Last night before watching the brilliant, energetic "Into the Hoods" at the Novello theatre with my mate Sam, we decided to eat round the corner at Bierodrome on Kingsway.

Ordering from the "Beat the clock" menu, i chose the moules mariniere which came with chips and Sam had the half roast chicken and chips. For the deal you can also choose from a glass of wine, Hoegarden, lager or a soft drink. We opted for the Hoegarden. My mussels were okay not great - sauce was a bit thin and not bursting with the juices of the mussels. Think I should have ordered the bangers and mash - they looked delicious. Sam did love her chicken though and we left happy and content after only paying £14 for the meal (we ordered at 6.10pm) and the 2 Hoegarden. Bargain!

The choice of beers is superb, the beers themselves taste superb, the only thing that brings down the rating is that it gets very very busy and if thats coupled with the frequently too-loud music it can make for a slightly difficult conversation.
The food is a always good but the beers are always better!
