Was about 15 minute wait and had a pleasant chat with the barman. He told of how, in normal times, the place was alive with a buzz and music and people.
The canopy outside was filled with diners and smokers who sat peacefully as they watched the rain falling outside.
The take-out food was lovely - came with a lovely extra potato dish. My dish was vegan and "Hot" but was actually not bad, which was grand.
Suggestion would be a new menu outside (the existing one is misted beyond recognition).
Then I tried to leave... and they told me it was the Hotel California and I never could. Still there now, but don't think anyone will notice until the end of lockdown. 😉
Worst service, no manners from the staff, rude behaviour, they asked us to pay the service charge forcefully, when I spoke with my rising voice the guy started fighting and pulling my jacket. But the owner was really great, handled situation well.
Worst staff I have ever seen.
I will definitely order again!
