I have no idea who speedbird is, and I'm not aware that we "have form elsewhere", unless speedbird also posts/has posted under other names.

I completely agree that this thread (or indeed any others) isn't an appropriate place to make personal comments about other posters, but if somebody makes one about me you can't expect me not to respond, surely?

Hey ho. Plus ca change.

Sadly I don't think I can. It winds me up too much :(

Pathetic I know :(

Went last night with some mates for food. Nice nice friendly feel and was full come 8.30pm at bar and tables at the back. Good straight up pub food and service beer at reasonable prices and they've taken away the bar stools....a small but tactical move for the better.

Small point ?? but do they now have Wi-Fi ?

I miss bar stools.

I like the choice.. Most of the time I stand.. The EDT has so many you can't get near the bar

and I end up moving them out of the way.

.. Sometimes when I have filled my legs with ale, I feel the need to sit down.

The thing with bar stools...is it depends who's sitting on them.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

And the degree of self awareness they have when others want access to the bit of the bar that they think they own...

We went early Saturday evening for some food and we were impressed. The food was delicious, good choice of options and prices seemed reasonable. Service was very, very good: helpful, friendly, personable, just as you'd like.

Overall, it wasn't too busy (although all the tables in the bar area were taken) but that was probably also because we left before 8pm (we had a little one with us).

Looking forward to the next visit!

A bit of a Jekyll and Hyde experience.

First visit - epic food and service, good value for the quality.

Second visit - ordered wine/food within 10 mins of arriving. Forty mins later, no food. After polite discussion with charming waitress, who couldn't get an answer from the kitchen, we spoke to manager. A shrugging of shoulders, a vague apology, but absolutely no indication of how much longer our food might be. We paid for our bottle of wine and left with it.

If we had been told there was an hour's wait for food at the beginning, we would never have sat down. I do hope complacency, matched with pressure for maximum bums on seats, isn't setting in. Otherwise they might end up going the same way as the four previous incarnations at this tricky spot.

Haven't eaten there and not really my choice of eatery with tables in the middle of the floor

and out of my price range...

.. but for those who choose to support a new local business it would seem not too much to ask

for a little more consistency. With people recommending the place and others being left disappointed

and frustrated.

They really should of been able to sort themselves out by now, or at the very least show a little more

concern about the level of service they seem to be providing.

Perhaps some complimentary drinks when customers are kept waiting.

With the suggestion that the place would make an excellent venue for a pre Cinema meal, that's not

such a good idea if you are going to miss the film due to being delayed.
