"Visited for lunch. The menu looked promising however unfortunately that promise was unfulfilled. I ordered Nachos for a shared starter and a Chicken ‘Sizzler’(otherwise known as Fajitas). Possibly two of the easiest dishes to prepare that have ever found their way onto a pub menu. Bad choice I’m not sure how it is possible to get nachos wrong but they managed it here. Perhaps it was the way that the chips, cheese AND the Salsa were thrown together and then nuked, I suspect in a microwave but possibly they did use the oven. Result soggy chips and a sloppy mess served without any Guacomole because they had run out but the kitchen did not tell the server so no apology. Next the Chicken Sizzler. Now I’m not a chef but I know this dish is normally cooked by griddling the chopped veg until they are just cooked, sometimes slightly charred. I’m not sure the veg in this dish ever went anywhere near a griddle or similar. My guess is that the was simply heated in a microwave and then topped with microwaved chicken pieces that had been supplied pre cooked complete with ‘fake’ char grill lines. To be fair the chicken was OK but the veg was limp, tasteless and was served swimming in an oily, watery liquid (see photo). How is it possible to make such a mess of what is a simple dish? I was later told that the peppers are supplied pre sliced; maybe knives are not allowed in that kitchen, I suspect the disgusting liquid they were served in was in the plastic bag they were delivered in. Quite frankly the Nachos and the Sizzler were the worst examples of these dishes I have ever been served with. My Mum’s scampi and chips looked OK but the Scampi was absolutely scolding inside .. I suspect the good old microwave may have been pushed into action again. Good points, at least it was open on a Monday lunchtime, my Latte was OK, and the staff were all friendly. We won’t however be going back."

We went for curry night. Don't expect top tier curry but for the price it's pretty solid. I would steer clear of the vegetable curry if I were you and go with the korma or tikka Tuesday is curry day FYI Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

"From the outside, it looks like another tacky eatery in a street lined with tacky takeaways. Walk through the door and pleasantly surprised. A little deli counter, a back room then a garden. The garden overlooks a derelict abandoned overgrown garden. Not a problem, I am used to this in Athens. What is the problem, and I don’t see in Athens, tenants throwing rubbish out of their windows into the garden. It is ideal breeding ground for rats. The local environmental health should investigate, and if needed carry out enforcement action. To sit outside or not? Maybe too cool when the sun went in, and too hot if it came out as no shade. I decided to sit inside, near the back door. A red rose on the table is a neat touch. I was the only diner. Oh but we were busier earlier. Strange how I am always told, if you’d have been here when you weren’t here, we were busy. The menu was singurly uninspiring. Why panini’s? Everywhere does paninis. I have never understood why. Or pasta. The choice penne (which I don’t like), or spaghetti (which I dislike slightly less) I chose spaghetti Bolognese. It arrived seemingly quick. I was asked when I placed my order, did I wish for Parmesan cheese? It was added in the kitchen. Usually brought to and added at the table. Spaghetti Bolognese is not an Italian dish. It was an artificial dish with elements of North and South. The spaghetti mediocre at best, the Bolognese sauce excellent. I was going to leave but decided to stay. I chose tiriamasiu for dessert. Coffee, Illy, no thanks. For coffee walk to Madame Waffle or Coffee Aroma. I visited a couple of weeks ago, the previous week I found closed."
