"I am a regular visitor to the White House in Golders Green, London to pick up a take away, usually pre-ordered. On this occasion, I stopped by and noticed that the restaurant was being managed by a someone I did not recognise, who appeared to be the son of the owner. I was first ignored, then interrupted what appeared to be an hilarious conversation between the staff, who then referred me to the chef behind the counter, who had not prepared anything for me. After waiting some 12-15 minutes, I finally received a box of shredded chicken, without the usual salads and accompaniments. On querying this, the chef snatched the box out of my hand, threw it in a corner and pointed me to the Manager. On speaking to him, he burst out laughing and found the whole thing amusing. When I reapproached the chef, to try and explain what I wanted, he turned his back on me, spoke to one of the waitresses, who looked across at me, and disappeared into a back room. It's a shame really, because I like the White House, and respect the owner, who has spent many years building up a popular business. I shall choose my moment and return but only to tell the proprietor of my recent experience. What is clear, is that since a major competitor shut up shop further down the road, the attitude of the White House has changed towards its regular clientele. I now buy my twice weekly take-aways from Sami's, which I shall review under separate cover."

"I visited my elderly Mum today, she suggested going to the Derby Arms for a roast dinner as she'd eaten there recently with my sister. However they were fully booked, so I looked online and found Galu. The reviews were great and my Mum has only ever heard good things from friends and neighbours. So I called and booked for 12:45 Sunday 21st Jan 2024. We were both pleasantly surprised to see roast dinners on the menu ... Mum order lamb and I ordered beef part of their set menu. When the dinners arrived, you could see straight away that the lamb was Very Fatty (not even crispy) when my my tried eating it, it was both tough and chewy! As for the beef, this was cooked ok and edible, although I asked for the beef to be medium, but it was more well done. The waiter came over to ask if the meal was ok, I highlighted how the lamb was... the manager then came over and offered my Mum a slice of beef to compensate, bearing in mind she ordered lamb. Mum subsequently found that some of her roast potatoes were hard inside! I finished my meal, but could see Mum really didn't enjoy hers leaving a substantial amount on her plate, and having tried her lamb it really was inedible! We were then offered a full list of desserts rather than the set menu, having chocolate brownie and creme brûlée (both were gorgeous) When the bill arrived, I was hoping they would have somehow made amends, but alas no ... as Mum doesn't like to cause a fuss and it was her treat, I decided not to say anything, although the staff manager could tell we weren't happy. Having come from East Sussex for the day and regularly have great Sunday roasts in local pubs, I was hoping for something special in this restaurant, but sadly that wasn't the case. In fact it's probably one of the worst roast dinners I've had in a long time. I very much doubt we'll return ..."
