Was a busy night with the typical office Xmas party groups and rapscallions jovially bustling about…read moretheir business.. Set against a back drop of scantily clad teens attempting to dupe the bouncers into letting them into their clubs, A chill pricked the air, and I was feeling very cold, to be young, sigh, and venture out in winter in summer attire!
It was the night of the big plate, and wanted Italian, yep i wanted Pizza, washed down with some Italian lager. Our waiter looked about after warmly greeting us, and sighted a table, he could squeeze us into. it wasn't the best seating, and conversations from all angles were heard with the utmost clarity, I felt included.
The menu prices were typically chain, so around 8 to 12 pounds per pizza. And the starters were a couple of pounds each, so typical kind of cost for eating out, competitive.
A few small carbs to start, so we went for the and a ciabatta and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. to dip to share. Pretty standard, good bread, not enough olives, had to pull out the sad face for that one.
The pizza, was very good, not the best I have had, just the right amount of everything on it to make me savor it.
The only bad point is when I tipped the waiter, he seemed slightly embarrassed, no I didn't tip him small, so pfffft. He seemed to scurry away in case I made a mistake. Why not ask just like in Canada or elsewhere, that, "i will get you some change", then I can politely say, it is okay it is yours? Maybe even draw a smiley face on the bill and write their name, if only!!
Overall would go back, loved the food. its pizza its beer its staple;)
