The Forest Hill Tavern, Forest Hill

Went in recently, and after the refurbishment.

It's like going for a pint in an MFI Kitchen with Mr. Sheen as your drinking companion; everythings dark wood and each table and surface seems polished within an inch of its life. Even the games machine is chrome. I've got to be honest, it was a pretty soulless place.

We ordered food, too, and although the staff were friendly enough, our meals took an absolute age to arrive. We ordered dessert, too - an my rhubarb turned up served in a cup, with some custard in a seperate pot. Very odd and pretentious - and also not very nice.

It's okay in here. Trendy but nice crowd, and friendly barstaff - even if (especially during the cheap cocktail part of the evening) - it's an absolute mare getting served, because they're going all out on preparing one drink and the bar's five people deep with people waiting.

Ignore that bit about Magners in the previous post. Got my wires crossed - they WOULD serve you if you were inside, it's just that all the Magners was in the outside bar.

Or something.

Ignore me.
