"Very disappointing, The first visit we were told it would be a 30min wait. Which we agreed was fine. 40 mins later still no meals. 1 hour later still no meals.. People were coming in after us and ordering hot food and were being served before us! We were waiting for two children’s meals! And the restaurant was almost empty. Would hate to think how long you’d have to wait if it was busy. We asked for a refund and left. 2nd Visit today was absolutely foul! Ordered hunters chicken chips and peas. And a mixed grill! The chicken was so dry and hard. And the BBQ sauce was a hard crust on top. I pulled the chicken apart as it was so hard and cold. And the chicken absolutely stunk! You could smell the bacteria! It was putrid! The chips were dry and hard. The garden peas were shrivelled and crinkled FOUL DISGUSTING SLOPS! I spoke with the Manager and asked if she would eat the plate of food I was served! Her answer was NO! And couldn’t bring herself to even smell the chicken! The Mixed grill was swimming in oil! Mushrooms were oozing in oil, And food was cold The manager asked the chef if the plates of food we received was Upto standard His reply was “The mushrooms sit in water! And the food was warm! I mean WTF? Anyway please DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME IN THE MASH AND BARREL The Floor and tables are sticky! The toilets are foul! It needs a deep Clean! Fumigating as everything was sticky and grubby! Mash and Barrel I feel my comments are justified as i only speak the truth! Management get yourself sorted out! It’s a complete debacle! Shame as a few years ago it was a lovely place but sadly when you don’t have professionalism this is what happens to an establishment "

"I had heard from a local that there is a significant Portuguese population in the area, so I decided to look for a good restaurant. The exterior of this place may not be very inviting, resembling a run-down '70s pub. Once inside, the decor looked a bit worn out. However, the few tables that were occupied at 2pm on a Thursday were filled with regulars who warmly welcomed us. We tried to order the cataplana, but it wasn't available that day, so we opted for a meat mixed grill and a fish mixed grill, along with a couple of glasses of house red wine. I recommend bringing more people next time as the portions were generous. The meat mixed grill included flank steak, pork chop, bacon, chicken fillet, and chorizo, while the fish mixed grill had salmon fillets, sea bream, prawns, sea bass, and more. All served with rice, new potatoes, chips, and salad. Optional piri piri sauce was available, but beware, it's not for the faint-hearted. The wine was enjoyable, and the coffee was good too. We started with fresh bread, olives, and fish pate. The atmosphere truly felt like a local café in Portugal. The waitress was kind, helpful, and friendly, and the chef even came out to check if everything was satisfactory. More locals arrived and greeted us warmly. This place is like a Portuguese version of a British greasy spoon, but just like some greasy spoons, it delivers what it promises exceptionally well. I highly recommend it, just make sure to bring plenty of friends and come hungry."
