Nice to have a new alternative in our neighbourhood. They are heaving, which is excellent for them.
The ground floor looks like a well-run local pub, full of beautiful people, especially chic ladies. It is genuinely lovely to see so many female punters in a pub; it creates a great mix and energy.
We made our way upstairs, where the tables are tiny and cramped. One cannot help but feel like an industrial hen house. That said, they do use free-range chicken for cooking, thanks god
All the dishes were mediocre at best. The salads, in particular, felt no better than a high-street salad bar. Nothing more, nothing memorable.
Service was hit-or-miss, though in my opinion, more miss than hit. None of the food runners knew anything about the dishes they were delivering. On some occasions, they did not even know the name of the dish. Ridiculous.
They are very strict about return times and continuously remind you, just in case you forget. And forget about having a hot drink. You will be met with vague and inconsistent excuses about the bar. And they like reciting the entire dessert menu in a loud pub. We nodded our heads and heard almost nothing. Simply asked the bill!
Tried.
Tested.
Verdict.
Never again.
