Having spent the best part of 4 hours driving back from Scotland on a Bank Holiday Monday, we were both starving and we wanted a no fuss yet tasty dinner.
We chanced our arms and went for a Besco favourite sans reservation, and popped along to Med One and were very fortunate to get the last table for two, early evening.
Having prior knowledge of the portion sizes at Med One, we elected not to go for starters and went straight to mains. I had the lamb chops with accompanying potatoes and veg. My fella had a change from his usual and reliable Chicken Shawarma (which he loves) and had the Spinach & Chicken Gratin. Both of us fell silent whilst devouring the food, with the exception of customary food-appreciation noises, and both were very very good.
The reason for the lower marks on the * rating is that the waiting on staff didn't get the order right in the first place and so we had to wait an extra 10 minute for mine to arrive (mixed up the reading of the order of gratin and chops with gratin and chips) and so when one incorrect dish arrived and the young lady realised there were two at the table, Richard's dinner was taken back and said it would be kept warm until mine arrived. Not brilliant but I suppose the positive that old style "writing down" an order by hand and not computerised is something to take from this family run business, and that they give a young person an opportunity to learn and earn (the young lady was clearly very new) is to be praised.
Overall, great food and ok service, but a complimentary Diet Coke for the inconvenience might have been better received. read more
