user reviews of La Vina, Wallingford

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Laurel got hold of the old post office in order to install a Slug and Lettuce, much to the dismay of the towns grown-ups, who quite rightly thing that one binge-drinking establishment in the town, the Boathouse, is one too many. Serious opposition meant Laural had to install a Forno Vivo - pretend Italian pizza restaurant, which didn't get them very far. So recently it's been reincarnated into a La Vina, a pretend Spanish restaurant and bar, with more emphasis on the bar side of things.

Spanish it is not. True you could parachute it into somewhere on the Costas and no-one would turn a hair, but you could do the same with a Wetherspoon or Kentucky Fried Chicken. Parachute it into a provincial Spanish town and it would be a fish out of water.

My guess is that they'll keep it up for eighteen months or so then convert it into the Slug and Lettuce they always wanted saying they've had a bar there all along and it caused no trouble, what's the problem?

We shall see.
