Formally the Railway Hotel in Richmond - with the train rails going directly past the hotel. Neither are visible today and everything has changed. Not sure even if this is the "original" site to it.
The Bar itself had a change too - it used to be known as Bar321. I have never included a street shot of the location - in this case I am making an exception. We did say that if the menu did not appeal we could always go and have the American diet next door!!
The place looked comfortable enough and we decided to stay. Turns out the new Chef is from the former Huruni Bar/Hotel in Canterbury - a place we have stopped a few times and always had good meals. All good then.The garlic bread itself arrived in good time. A bit soft on the outside and needed to be cut at the bottom. Big wraps for serving it on a plate and without the napkin underneath. It ended up a bit salty - you can just spot the salt on the plate. The inside was soft / liberally flavored and had one or two herbs with it. There was more then enough for the two of us - and we had to pace ourselves in order not to get to full before the main-meal arrived.
