| 6 reviews and only one by someone who has commented on any other pubs – that should set the alarm bells ringing. A group of us went there to eat there recently, and despite it being 8pm on a Saturday night, we were the only people eating. One other group came in at 9ish but that was it. A handful of drinkers (4 or 5) hardly helped to create any sort of atmosphere. Not sure how to describe the decor, I suppose some would call it minimalist, but that implies some sort of conscious styling decision. I’d suggest that the owners just haven’t bought enough furniture. Despite the lack of competition for the waitress’s attention, we still had to go to the bar for the first round of drinks. Three of our group ordered steak, only to be told that they only had one left even though no one else was eating and the menu was already quite limited. The food we were able to order was actually okay. Service was slow, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. But overall a really, really disappointing evening given the reviews on here, and one that has knocked my confidence in BITE as a reliable source of opinion. Always prepared to give a place a second chance, but this place was so comically poor, and the town has so many decent alternatives, that I won’t be rushing back until someone else (whose opinion I can trust) tells me they’ve had a good night there.

| A relaxed grown up chill out zone for relaxed grown up people. A great selection of food and drink for such a small place. Thoroughly recommended for all grown ups or those with ESPECIALLY well behaved children, if not, don't spoil our day, get a baby sitter!!! ikati - 24 Oct 2008 22:00 |
