Advantages: The staff is good and the place is clean and tidy. Oh and they serve beer
Disadvantages: the food is b****y awful
What can I say yeah the bar is fine and.... Well it's clean, they serve drinks and the staff are polite and good. The real negative is the food, if you idea of fine dining is sitting in the middle of the Jeremy Kyle show in a room with more televisions that comet then this is the place for you. If you can't leave the television for 2 hours then stay at home!
As for the food. The bucket that arrives with the cutlery and condiments did make me think that perhaps we were either looking at some roman-esque bacchanalian gorging or more accurately swill. The quality was terrible with attempts at the usual pub food classics or stacks of cheap stomach fillers (bread & chips). I've never seen such a collection of stodgy, fat soaked, lousy food that is all bereft of taste. I felt bloated and in the mood to apologise to my stomach for filling it with such lousy fare, needless to say that my stomach reminded me of this all weekend.
Whoever added the statement that salad would be included with any meal obviously meant as thinly disguised irony. My meal did have some lettuce lurking under the burger which I think is supposed to count. I won't even mention the lack of any salad's healthy alternatives, although as per usual there are the odd vegetarian options that are most likely ready meals given the usual blast in a microwave. Oddly enough no one was in the state to even contemplate the sweet menu.
As per legions of other dinners up and down the country I didn't complain as I'd rather not risk eating anything after complaining about the standard of food in a restaurant. The food was bad enough without the idea of eating someone else's phlegm. I'd sooner vote with my feet (or stomach) in this case.
Summary: In short stick to a steak as it's not difficult and at least you know it's likely to be fresh
