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. . . . . .
