"We ordered two meals from the meal deal. It took ages for the starter to arrive, we had to ask the waiter where it was. I had ordered hunters chicken for the main and when it came, I found it to be really salty, I thought it was the yellow/orange sause, so tried to avoid it, and realised that the red sauce was not BBQ sause, but a very runny (mainly tomato) bolognese sauce.So I complianed to the waitress, who then went ans spoke to our waiter, who told her that the chicken was alway with a bechamel sauce, but I could have more BBQ sauce if I wanted. I pointed to the menu that had no mention of bechamel sauce. Our original waiter came over and explained that they had a new menu and that the old menu had included bechamel and the kitchen were not aware of the menu change. He offered me a starter as compensation, I had already had a starter and did not want another. I ate the chips and onion rings, but the chicken was so awful, I left it. When I went to pay the bill, or original wait was no where to be found and we were left with a very nice young girl who had only been working there a week. She asked if we had been offered any compensation I said that we hadn't but felt we should have been, so she went to the kitchen to speak to our origninal waiter, who did not return with her, and she told us because it was part of the meal deal, that they could not remove any thing, and what we had would have been more expensive than removing the meal. So I ended up paying full price for a meal I did not eat! The customer service was terrible except for the new girl. The hunters chicken was not as described on the menu and unedible."

"fast eating, but full of taste. tortilla is a great Mexican/Californic Burrito chain with five or six outlets dotted over london and I am very happy to have one on my stretch. this filiale is located on the ground floor of a modern building in southwark street right behind the did modern. it has an additional seating area on the floor above, but this is only opened at midday to deal with the humble of hungry office types that float out of the door. it is a caffe like room; clean, tidy and efficient running. they don't want to stay too long when they shot their Mexican snackage, but I think that's part of the point. they will be as happy here as a single daybook, a few or with a bigger party I visited with b and also on my own. as we showed up last Thursday night, I believe it is open until 9 o'clock, as we have gone to the joys of the carnival Christmas market on the south bank along the thems. it seems to be quite calm when they fall in every time after the lunch break and we receive a cordial greeting as we slung over the menu at the wall through the servier zone. as most of the Mexican grill type places that they decide whether they go the burrito or tacos route, then they draw on the compilation of their dream filling. I have at the moment a little taco-love, so I went for a few of the little corn-beauties, with the mouth watering carnitas pork, which was slowly cooked in a centimeter of his life. I built this with some hot salsa, monterey jack cheese, acidic cream and shredded iceberg salad. b went down the Burrito route and had an evil young filled with pork, rice, pinto bee, cheese and a good hit the middle salsa. a bowl of freshly made, very cingy, guacamole with a bag of excellent tortilla chips on the side and we were good to go. this is powerful, powerful fine almost food with excellent ingredients and lovingly prepared. there are large bottles of chili sauce on the table they should need it and there some food bits and pieces that they can buy to take home, they should be happy to make their own Mexican firm. if they are in the mood for a beer, then they are in luck as they have an excellent selection of Mexican and American brews. I had a bottle of the anchor steam beer and b washes the evil with a beautiful Mexican bottle whose name has completely removed me (not the usual corona or dos equis, so I soon have to make a return visit to check on this easy outlet! three quarters of an hour later we left a few very big gries with our starving beautiful sat and my wallet less than £20 light result."

"My friend and I often visit the Old Halfway House as it’s local to us both. Until relatively recently, we have been for the lunchtime menu, and it’s been fairly good. The pub has a nice atmosphere, and it’s clean and tidy. However, the menu has now changed; the lunchtime menu has increased from £6 to £8. Soft drinks have also increased, and a glass of coke is now £4.25, which is simply too much. This last visit, I ordered scampi chips and peas. I could hardly believe my eyes when the server brought my meal. There were 9 small pieces of scampi, a few chips and what I estimated to be 1 spoon of peas. I was really upset about this. The tartar sauce was also underwhelming a tiny bit in the bottom of the dish. The plate actually looked like a child’s meal. Ok, so we all know prices are increasing across all sectors, but whilst pubs need to make a profit, customers also need value for money, and this falls woefully short of what one would expect. Would a few extra peas and chips, and maybe a couple more pieces of scampi really cost that much more for better customer satisfaction? I’ll answer that myself no. When the lady came to collect our plates, we were asked if everything was ok. I mentioned the measly portion size, and she said she’d mention it to the kitchen. We remained in the pub a good 20 minutes, but she never returned, so I don’t know what the kitchen had said. We were going to order dessert, but after seeing that portion size, decided we wouldn’t bother. As mentioned before, we eat out locally once a week, so we have plenty of places with which to compare this to, and it falls way short of the competition. It is sad, but we will be finding somewhere with better value for money in future."
