"My wife and I visited English's for a dinner. You are served a small bread roll and a small portion of fish pate to start. My wife likes Oysters so decided to order herself half a dozen before the starter and main course. I asked if I could have an additional bread roll whilst my wife consumed her Oysters and this was granted. We were then served our starters and main course which were fabulous. We both finished with a dessert and asked for the bill. To my horror they had charged £1.35 for the additional bread roll. Bearing in mind this was a £200 bill and I am not hard up for £1.35, I just found it so penny pinching. Bear in mind there is also a £2.50 cover charge per head 12.5% service charge (the £2.50 also gets charged the 12.5% . The waitress agreed to remove the fee for the bread roll and an after dinner drink as an apology. We accepted the charge to be removed but declined the nightcap as the damage was done. Do not misunderstand because this is a lovely restaurant and excellent food but the penny pinching for the extra bread roll just ruined the experience for me. I would have given them a score of 5 but downgraded to a 4"
