Decent Italian arrives in the Lane


Recommended Posts

I had a look at the menu, and the "carne" section (veal medallions in cream & mushroom sauce, steak and chips, chicken in tomato sauce, etc) seemed totally uninspiring - outdated even. And a restaurant selling ?12 pizzas seems redundant when Franco Manca do excellent pizzas for under ?7.


I know I shouldn't criticise a place without eating there, but come on... use some imagination. Cook something I've not eaten a hundred times before.

Strange but having walked passed last night, their second night they were VERY busy...


... whilst for the first time since they opened. Franco Manca had lots of free tables and no one queuing.

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
