Advantages: A good place for a simple meal.

Disadvantages: Nothing major.

We are regular visitors to our local Table Table Pub Restaurant, it is within easy walking distance for us and during the week they run a good meal deal, two dine for £10. ( That deal is for two main meals)

Our Table Table Restaurant was refurbished about eighteen months ago and it has a pleasant and contemporary interior.
The restaurant is clean and comfortably furnished and it is a relaxing environment in which you are able to enjoy a meal and a drink.
The tables always look clean and the staff clear and wipe them as quickly as they can.
I have a thing about cutlery, marked cutlery can instantly spoil my appetite but to date the cutlery has always been clean and shiny.

More often than not we choose to visit during the week when we are able to make good use of the two dine for £10 offer.
The meals that are a part of that deal are listed on a separate section of the menu to avoid any confusion and they have carefully chosen food that will be suitable for everyone.
There are both meat and fish dishes and salad and vegetarian dishes.

I have eaten various dishes from this selection and I have enjoyed them all. Last week I ordered the warm Spinach and Nutmeg souffle tart which was served with new potatoes and garlic butter and a well presented side salad.
I was certainly surprised at the healthy portion on the plate and was only too happy to share some of my potatoes with the Better Half who was tucking into a hearty plateful of Fresh Ham, Egg and Chips.
The Ham looked really good, the eggs were sunny side up and the chips were plump and golden and it was declared to be delicious.

Although there is a selection of hot and cold desserts that range from steamed sponges and custard to a glass full of creamy Eton Mess we rarely have any room for dessert.

I feel that the drinks are a little expensive but then someone has to pay for the refurbishment !
We have been Table Table customers for a few years now and have never felt rushed or hurried in anyway, once the food is delivered to the table then you are made welcome to stay for as long as you choose. I have to say that we have never had to wait too long for our food to arrive and at least it is delivered to your table with a smile.

Sometimes the restaurant is well staffed and on those occasions a waitress will come and take your food order and also get you another drink if you want one.
But there have been many times that I have gone up to the bar and ordered the food myself.
The young waiting staff do try to make you feel welcome and we normally get asked if everything is fine with our food.
If the waiting staff are chatting away then they sometimes forget that they have customers to deal with but there is nothing that cannot be forgiven, we were all young once.

The restaurant has exceptionally busy periods, especially as we head towards the weekend but the staff seem to cope well enough.
I usually just pay with cash and always leave a small tip for the waiting staff but the restaurant does accept Debit and Credit cards.

The menu is far more extensive than I have covered in this review. There is a good selection on offer and that includes starters, main courses and desserts.
I have tried the Sunday Lunch and this is one meal that I may not choose again, I feel that at £7.99 a time that the two dine for £10 in the week offers far better value.
Maybe Table Table need to reassess their Sunday Lunch portions, I feel they are too small, especially for a hearty appetite.

You can dress as you wish, if you are celebrating then wear that dress and if you are just going for a snack then slip your jeans on, it really does not matter.
At teatime there will be people popping in from work to enjoy some food and often there will be young families enjoying an outing or a special occasion being celebrated.

The grounds of the Table Table restaurant have recently shrunk due to a large Premier Inn being constructed, of course the two go hand in hand and the Inn seems to be constantly busy.

Well, I think I have covered most of what I wanted to tell you but I do have one small negative left to include.
Outside the restaurant has a small decked area which is used as a beer garden and when the sun shines it is a lovely place to sit.
BUT...Why does the decked area seem to be used as rubbish bin and an ashtray ?
I like a cigarette but I also prefer to stub it out in an ashtray and would try to avoid just throwing it on the floor and trampling on it.
More often than not the decked area is dirty, messy and untidy and it seems to be getting worse.
Maybe more strategically placed ashtrays and waste bins might be a good idea.

Apart from my one gripe I am more than happy with my local Table Table restaurant and will hopefully continue to enjoy it in the future.
The cloakroom facilities are clean and are obviously inspected regularly.
If you are looking for a Cordon Bleu menu then a Table Table restaurant will not be your first port of call but on the other hand if you are looking for a respectable place to enjoy a friendly and relaxed everyday meal then you will find it at Table Table restaurant.

If you want to see where your local Table Table Restaurant is located then go to their website and use the restaurant finder.
The website also tells you about the food on offer and the meal deals.

Summary: The two dine for £10 is a good offer, it runs Mon-Fri and ends at 6.30pm.
