My friend and I booked Lucky 7 before a cocktail fuelled night in Hummingbird just along from it. My friend booked it through 5pm, and we were to get 2 courses plus a bottle of wine for £25.
We were taken to our seats by a very friendly waiter who said we could have a glass of wine or beer with our meal. We ordered wine, then remembered we were promised a bottle online. I approached the chap at the bar and told him this and he replied "yeah that's fine that's part of that deal too." I thought this was bizarre, that for £25 you could get 2 courses each and a glass of wine or a beer, or a bottle between you... Surely you would always get the bottle! I might be starting to sound like a bit of a wino here...
The wine we had was the white one, it was lovely and we ended up ordering a second bottle (whoops, definite wino). The menu wasn't huge, it was 4 or 5 starters and mains. And 4 desserts. We decided to go for starters and mains.
I got goats cheese salad with strawberries, and my friend got the soup of the day which was carrot and lentil I think. I absolutely loved the salad, it was a full piece of goats cheese with rocket, a balsamic dressing and strawberries that were rubbed in ground pepper I think. It was divine! Absolutely lovely, and would go back just for that.
For mains I had the mussels with a Thai sauce, and chips. My friend had a bean burger with chips. She absolutely adored hers, and it was a great size. My mussels were a different story. The portion was huge, loads of mussels and loads of chips with 3 pieces of bread on the side. However, the mussels were really dry. They tasted hard and dried out at the top, as if they'd either been sitting to long or something. The ones in the sauce at the bottom were fine though, but the sauce was definitely lacking something. It was pretty tasteless. The chips were great and so was the bread.
When we ordered the wine, the waitress did forget about it and we had to shout her over again after 15 minutes. Which wasn't too good. She did apologise though.
Overall, I would recommend it and I would go back . I liked the starter, and my friend loved her starter and mains. I liked the vibe in the place, and it was very inviting. The staff were pleasant and I thought it was a great price for what you got, especially the portions which were very considerable.
We were just under £40 for all that, including 2(!!) bottles of wine. read more
