The Somerstown Coffee House, Euston

As a local, I have a soft spot for the Coffee House as it�s been beautifully renovated, tho' like many residents, I�ve always found the new menu quite pricey. However the food was good (if not large portions) so I viewed it as somewhere for a bit of a treat. However (credit crunch response?) when we visited it on 24 February, the portions had shrunk (like the economy)! The burger no longer comes with chips; tho� I asked for rare, it came well-done; the salad was half the size of last time; my companion�s Irish coffee was tiny; and I had to ask for extra cream for the tasty chocolate dessert as the original serving was almost invisible. So, I�m sorry, Coffee House, as a long-term customer I was not impressed and unless I win the lottery, I can�t afford to return for such small meals at such big prices.
