Advantages: Ummm cheap - ish?

Disadvantages: Read the review.....

This place is so awful I almost don't want to write about it.
I have had one or two mediocre experiences in this establishment, but let me relate to you my last (ever!).
First of all, we were the only people in the restaurant (no surprises there now I know better) and STILL the waiter managed to spend over 10 minutes getting a drink and then forgetting one of my friend's,there were 4 of us.... and when we asked after it he said "I was thinking about it". wonderful.
Then I ordered the Crayfish pasta with a 'light' mustard sauce, I had eaten this dish before and found it tastier than the other meals such as processed hotdogs filled with processed cheese for example.
However, after 20 minutes iof waiting, I was presented with pasta, crayfish tails and CHEAP YELLOW NASTY HOTDOG MUSTARD.
I didn't want to complain and took one or two bites upon which I began to feel REALLY sick. My friends all tried it and agreed it was disgusting. It took 4 attempts and for my friend to SHOUT to gain a waitresses attention, as she was gossiping about her boyfriend loudly, and when I told the waitress how I felt and said I had had this dish before and it was a lighter colour (not yellow) and a lot nicer - she told me "Yeah well it is mustard isnt it. Oh well I'll go ask the chef"
It came back a few minutes later, with something white stirred in (possibly mayonaisse?) it was still awful but I ate what I could, as I was made to feel rude.
Even for the lunch time menu (£6.25 for 2 courses not inc drinks) it was most certainly not value for money, in service or food, and the waiter lost his tip way before the end of the meal.
Please avoid this establishment!

Summary: Icky.

Top tip!

You will get more ratings and earn money if you read and rate some reviews. So far you don't appear to have rated any?
