"This place had a makeover a year or so ago, following a fire, and it looks only slightly different now. I’m not sure that the changes are for the better, as the benches and chairs make it look more like a cafe (as opposed to a restaurant) now. The menu has also changed quite a bit it’s more restricted now, and it has more of a Middle eastern feel than a traditional kosher feel. In other respects, though, it’s still the same: you still get service that floats between unfussy (on the edge of surly) and helpful, and the waitresses were particularly good at advising my son on the kids’ portions and helping him to decide whether to order from the kids’ menu or from the adults’ (and offering to adapt the latter to suit him). The best bit, as ever, was the food, with large portions as usual: good, hot chicken soup (although a bit too salty), and good teriyaki chicken (with the customary excellent chips); the lamb was good too (a huge portion), and my son was very happy with both his burger and his hot dog. The desserts were a bit disappointing, with the description of the chocolate explosion somewhat over selling the rich, distinctly unchocolately product that arrived. The least impressive bit was that there wasn’t a lock on the gents’ loo with only one male loo facility (no urinals), it really isn’t good enough to expect occupants to sit (or stand) there knowing that some unwitting other customer might walk in at any time. This restaurant of course corners the market, but it wouldn’t take much to convert it from being a decent place to a very good place. As it is, there’s a just a bit too much of taking the clientele for granted for me to be truly evangelical about it."

"This is a find table first then order restaurant which may be ok in quiet periods but to a sole diner, it 's not so good. Add Covid 19 and the fact that the carvery ordering process means queuing up to pay at one counter, obtain a voucher then head off to the carvery to get the food you want then return to the table only to find it occupied by someone else not the most efficient system for the public.Being on my own, I decided to forego the carvery and settled on Scampi chips as they had just run out of my first choice, fish chips. Ah well, we can 't have it every way.Having ordered my food, I had to give the table number but the only empty ones required clearing and sanitising. Whilst the cashier shouted to someone to get the table cleaned, it was around 15 minutes before my food arrived and the detrius of the previous occupier was finally removed no sanitising though. The tray containing my food was unceremoniously dropped onto the table, not a word uttered and the waiter simply returned from whence he came taking the previous diners old dishes. Fortunately I had some sanitizer in my pocket and did the sanitising myself.The food (Scampi, chips peas) was certainly freshly prepared and it was really good unfortunately I would have liked brown sauce but the waiter was 'off his mark ' so quickly, I had no opportunity to request it.All in all, a reasonable visit with good food but could do with changing their layout, processes and give some more training to the staff.Would I go back? Probably but only to see if things improve."
