We decided to re-visit this place as they do very good pizza's and other meals at reasonably rates. This time the decor had not changed and the staff were still a veritable UN representation. Slightly apprehensively we ordered the Garlic Bread (this time from the printed menu!!) and received a pleasant surprise. (Maybe they read my previous blog???) As you can see it is an actual loaf of bread - or rather half of a loaf. It had plenty of garlic-butter piped into the cuts and also contained a sprinkling of green herbs (Parsley). The two pestos were a nice added touch.
The bread itself was VERY crusty on the outside and the supplied steak knife struggled to cut through the bottom crust. It ended up 3 slices each - which is plenty. The bread itself was of a lighter variety (ciabatta type) so not overfilling your tummy prior to your main-meal arriving.
Definitely an improvement from previous offerings. Now if they would also replace the wooden pizza platter with a solid plate and tweak it a tiny bit, this could well end up being a real winner. . . . . .
