Overall an ok experience.
We were seated promptly and showed to our kitchen counter table with no issues. Drinks were also ordered fairly promptly. However, after 20 minuites of waiting for our food order to be taken, we had to call someone over, who appeared to be visibly bothered by this, as if we were inconveniencing them.
Food:
We decided to order the Sunday roast platter on this particular occasion, as I had heard online that it was something we must try. The starters were tasty, and I enjoyed the mushroom parfait, fried beans & peppers, and the blooming onion, which we had to pay an extra £12 for on top of the existing starters.
Then came the Sunday platter roast, which I will break down here:
Pros: Potatoes were fluffy and crisp, and the carrots were also flavoursome. My favourite of the meats was definitely the ribs, which were nice and tender, and had a pleasant tangy glaze to accompany it.
Cons: beef was a bit chewy, and the chicken was oversalted. The gravy was also a bit too strong, almost as if the wine in it wasn't cooked down enough. This was a bit of a nitpick on my part, but there was far too much swede on the plate.
Dessert:
The dessert was nice, but it was far too small for both of us.
Ambience:
The restaurant experience was decent, but I was a little disappointed by the kitchen counter experience. I have had other kitchen counter experiences at other establishments, but the energy seemed a little stiff here (the head chef did present the blooming onion to us though)
Price:
I think for the quality of the food and the portions we were given, the Sunday roast platter was far too expensive, especially considering the extra 14.5% service charge on top.
(Forgot to take picture of dessert)
