Service? What service?
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.
