Came here for a weekend lunch, and decided to order traditional dishes rather than the set lunches.
It was quiet and relaxing for a good chit chat.
Ordered Toad in a hole, and chicken kiev.
The toad in a hole was served with mash and salad, and the chicken kiev was served with chips and stir fried vegetables.
Toad in a hole:This was yorkshire pudding batter baked with sausages and served in rich onion sauce.
The dish was piping hot from the oven, and the mash was good.
I really liked the onion sauce, it went very well with the mash, infact I contemplated ordering bangers and mash, but in the end I ordered this because of the yorkshire puddng, it would be great if there was more yorkshire pudding or some at the edges so when it is baked, it would be crispy.
Chicken Kiev:Rolled chicken with butter and herb filling inside.
If you've had the bird's eye ones, they are escaloupe form, the ones served here are like two big rolls encrusted in bread crumbs and fried.
The whole kiev was quite crunchy and tender, but the butter in the middle didnt ooze out.
As for the chips, they were the lovely crunchy flat cut chips, and there was a generous pot of garlic mayonnaise sauce provided too.
The vegetables was good to balance out the dish, but slightly Asian style.
In general it is a good place to hang out over the weekends for a good long and relaxed lunch.
