"We did arrive a little early for our table so we checked at the front if this was alright, there was only one other group in so we where ok to sit. The first thing that really grabbed my attention was the size of the...food menu, it's really small now. I understand that there may be some limitations at the moment but the menu reduction seemed really drastic. There where a couple of options unavailable when we visited so there where only mains to choose from. Nevertheless, we ordered our food and drinks (which at for a pint of moretti and for fish and chips is quite expensive). The starters came, we chose the sausage roll and duck parfait. They where ok nothing special but not bad. For mains we had both chosen fish and chips. The fish had oil around it and the bottom of the batter was mushy. At for fish and chips youd expect it to be fried properly, it wasnt busy when we visited so youd expect that the food had been taken care of when cooking. Before we visited we had called twice to see if it was alright to use a voucher that we had. Both times by different people we got told that it would be fine to use the voucher along side there current discount scheme and that we would be having a cheap night out When we came to pay we where told that we in fact couldn't actually use it. A female manager came over to our table to explain this and she was quite rude, speaking really loudly (we werent angry at all, just wanting to understand the conflicting information) and not really understanding of the situation. She drew everyone that was in the restaurants attention to our table which made my partner feel really anxious so she had to leave. We did get our bill discounted by after when felt like a tough negotiation and they offered to give us back the voucher too. We denied the voucher because of the way the manager handled our issue, it wasnt very professional and put us off coming ever back. After all the hassle the manager discounted our bill anyway, so why make an issue in the first place? I must say that the lady who took our food order and served us was attentive and nice. It's a shame that all of the staff werent, infact the the manager was quite the opposite to her. I wouldn't reccomend a visit here. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants within Newcastle that offer way more than what this place does."
