点评:This place was recommended to me and I did have high hopes. The building is lovely to look at it, but it was very hot and stuffy inside even though the outside temperatures had significantly dropped. We were shown to a table that was close to other people, even though the rest of the place was relatively empty at the time, which did feel odd.
We were out for a treat and discussed whether to have a starter, as we didn’t want to spoil are appetites. We needn’t have worried as the portion sizes were tiny. I chose the king prawn cocktail, expecting something quite special for the £9.95 price tag. Without a doubt it was the smallest prawn cocktail I’ve seen and there’s a large question mark over whether they were king prawns as they were so small and didn’t have a lot of taste.
For the main I chose a chicken burger, which arrived on a brioche bun that hadn’t been mentioned on the menu. I dislike brioche as I find it too sweet for a savoury course, so I discarded that, only to find that the chicken was dry and largely tasteless. The other person who had ordered the same thing agreed with me and they left a lot, too. For a burger that cost £17+ it just wasn’t worth it. When the server came to clear the plates away, plates where everyone had left something as it wasn’t up to scratch, not a word was said and she walked away. We were intending to have desserts, but changed our minds.
It’s possible that we were unlucky, and it didn’t help that I ordered something that I’m not keen on due to lack of information on the menu, but none of us will be going back.

我们想出去犒劳一下自己,讨论要不要点一份开胃菜,因为不想破坏大家的胃口。其实我们不必担心,因为份量很小。我点了大虾鸡尾酒,期待着9.95英镑的价格能带来一些特别的体验。毫无疑问,这是我见过的最小份量的大虾鸡尾酒,而且它们到底是不是大虾,真是个大问号,因为它们个头太小,味道也没什么特色。
主菜我选了一个鸡肉汉堡,汉堡夹在奶油蛋卷面包里,菜单上没有提到这个。我不喜欢奶油蛋卷,因为我觉得它太甜了,不适合做咸味菜,所以我放弃了,结果发现鸡肉又干又没味道。另一个点了同样东西的人也同意我的看法,也剩了很多。对于一个17英镑以上的汉堡来说,这实在不值得。服务员来收拾盘子的时候,每个人都在盘子里留下了一些东西,因为味道不太好,服务员一句话也没说就走开了。我们本来打算吃甜点,但后来改变了主意。
也许我们运气不好,而且由于菜单上的信息不多,我点了一些我不太喜欢的东西,但这并没有起到什么作用,但我们都不会再去了。
