Feelings were a little mixed this time. Not long back, Smiths announced a wind up, citing unsustainable rising costs as the reason for closing shop. But it seems that closure has been postponed till July. The food here isn't cheap. At the prices they've been going at and for the duration they've been around, how have they been coping all these time?
There's house made lemonade which we've never noticed before. Very lightly sweetened and also pretty expensive a bottle.
Trying their spam fritters for the first time.
You know what? I like it. Deliciously salty just like...spam underneath the fried batter. No surprises here.
Got ourselves some cod and haddock & chips. The fish appears to have shrunk along with their portion of chips. At the prices they're charging, it's not making me look forward to coming back. Even though those chips today tasted exceptionally good.
I remember their giant Yorkshire pudding with onions and gravy from the last time. Liking it. 😬
Pretty overpriced shepherd's pie considering the portions. Did not taste bad per se but wouldn't get it again considering that we can make something we consider better tasting. For what they charged, expecting double those portions would have been reasonable.
I've only been once despite staying nearby for over a decade. Turn off by the high prices and medicore food.
