Well presented, but bland food, in delightful setting
The Golden Lion Pub, Tipton的点评
点评:Have visited this pub many times and were keen to see it under new ownership.
The good bits.Welcoming friendly owner, pleasant staff, good quirky decor. Each dish carefully presented.
The bits for improvement. Menu now more run-of-the-mill but specials board added interest.
Our main problem was the food was bland. Our sardine starter and salmon and fennel dishes had no flavour/taste. How can fennel not taste of anything? Also there was copious use of butter and cream. My potatoes were swimming in butter and the salmon which came with a sauce was a bowl of salmon and fennel in a creamy/butter ‘soup’. Just too rich without flavour.
If they could dial back the cream/fat and add some seasoning it’d be better.
Of course, maybe it’s our palate and others prefer this style cooking, but it’s not for us.
Do visit though. It’s still a lovely pub.
翻译:来过这家酒吧很多次,一直很期待它换个老板。
优点:热情友好的老板,亲切的员工,别致的装饰。每道菜都精心呈现。
缺点:菜单现在比较普通,但特色菜增添了趣味。
我们的主要问题是菜品寡淡。沙丁鱼开胃菜和三文鱼茴香菜都没什么味道。茴香怎么可能一点味道都没有呢?而且黄油和奶油用得太多了。我的土豆都泡在黄油里了,配酱汁的三文鱼其实是一碗三文鱼茴香加奶油/黄油“汤”。太浓了,没味道。
如果他们能少放点奶油/油脂,加点调料就更好了。
当然,也许是我们口味的问题,其他人更喜欢这种烹饪方式,但我们不喜欢。
不过,一定要来这里看看。这仍然是一家很棒的酒吧。
