This was the best meal we had in England! My colleagues and I have been traveling all over for work and we loved it here. Coming from the states service can feel a little rough in England. It's just a different culture that you have to get used to. We noticed things are more attentive near London than in the other areas we visited, probably because it is a large city with a mix of cultures, but this place was even better than the rest we experienced in the area.
We started with the trio of hummus. It was brought as an actual starter and they brought more pita without being prompted. For mains, I had the chicken, mushroom, and leek pie, my colleagues the aubergine (eggplant) and the cheese soufflé. All were wonderful. Dessert was the pie with ice cream for 2 and we all shared. We were really really stuffed after this. We did have to ask for the check, which we are used to now. We loved the service and didn't feel rushed at all. It was all attentive (bringing water, pita) and not pushy. No one mentioned the check again after I asked for it until I had my wallet out. That said I know service is different in the states, and that's of course the lens through which I'm making the assessment! read more
