Giraffe77 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I wish I had seen this thread before : ( Have recently been there for the set menu. We don't normally go out for meals (courtesy of the credit crunch), and I really wish we hadn't go. The service was really poor (the waiter was zombified), the meal was heavy in the stomach, with cheap cuts of meat, bones, tasteless starter and plonky wine, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable. An evening which was supposed to be a celebration, and I just want to forget it. I wanted to like it, too, but all I can say is that I hope my stomach doesn't feel too bad this morning. It says 'best newcomer prize' in their menus, but that must have been a long time ago. Not since my days as an au pair had I gone to such a poor standard of restaurant - I rather eat at home watching The Simpsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithster Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Interesting to read some of the comments on this thread... I know the owner very well and my girlfriend and I regularly go along for the drumming workshops, after which we all sit down and have a meal in the restaurant. Personally, I love the food but I understand it isn't to everyone's taste. I see what people say about the odd atmosphere as well, but I think that is all part of keeping it very informal. However, I was at Peace in the Park last saturday and the queues for their food stall were just ridiculous. I don't think I ever saw less than about 25 people queuing all day long, and everyone commented on how good the food was - so they must be doing something right.

jenz245 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 if you want to impress uk mama isn't exactly the best venue. Friendly but service very slow and food not always great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intastella Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Does anyone have any recent reviews? It's my partner's birthday on Valentine's day, and we were thinking of going here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe77 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Please don't go there! I got really bad food poisoning in summer 2008. It is not worth risking it for the sake of saving a few pounds, it's people's health! Best to eat something nice at home or print a Money Saving Expert restaurant voucher for a BOGOF meal deal, for a meal that you can remember for the right reasons.
