点评:I had always enjoyed eating at Dows in the past, but have to admit its not been for a few years since moving out of town.
As our local regular eatery was closed we decided to give Brambles at Dows a go . Oh how it has changed , you have to go through the public bar to get to the dining area and on entering it felt like a scene from Deliverance, everyone seemed to stop what they were doing and stared as we walked through... I didn't recall anyone playing the banjo on the front steps though. !!
We were seated by a rather young but pleasant enough waitress and duly ordered food. We asked for some drinks and were told we needed to order at the bar which meant leaving the dining room and going back into the bar and pay separately There were a few what I can only describe as rather "fragrant" folk propping up the bar.
The Steak and Ale pie was truly a thing to behold but sadly not in a good way. The "puff" pastry resembled a piece of square thin cardboard and was sitting rather forlornly atop a brown soupy gravy containing rather small pieces of meat. In all I counted 5 bits. This culinary delight came with chips, peas and carrots. The chips were the best bit on the plate. My friend had the Sticky Toffee pudding which was clearly a microwaved treacle sponge masquerading as sticky toffee pudding. So disappointed as we had high hopes for our meal here. All things considered we wont be returning .

由于我们当地的普通餐馆关门了,我们决定试一试 Dows 的 Brambles。哦,它是如何改变的,你必须穿过公共酒吧才能到达用餐区,进入它感觉就像是 Deliverance 中的场景,每个人似乎都停止了他们正在做的事情并注视着我们走过......我没有不过,我记得有人在前面的台阶上弹奏班卓琴。 !!
我们坐在一位相当年轻但足够愉快的女服务员和适当订购的食物上。我们要了一些饮料,并被告知我们需要在酒吧点餐,这意味着离开餐厅并回到酒吧并单独付款。有一些我只能形容为相当“香”的人支撑着酒吧。
牛排和啤酒馅饼确实值得一看,但遗憾的是不是很好。 “膨化”糕点类似于一块方形薄纸板,相当凄凉地坐在棕色的汤汁上,里面有相当小的肉块。我总共算了 5 位。这种烹饪乐趣来自薯片、豌豆和胡萝卜。薯条是盘子里最好的一点。我的朋友吃的是粘太妃糖布丁,它显然是一种伪装成粘太妃糖布丁的微波糖浆海绵。非常失望,因为我们对这里的用餐寄予厚望。考虑到所有事情,我们不会回来。
