Revisited 11 February 2014

We must be regulars there.  Apart from being the 4th time as an entry for garlic bread - we have been on many other occassions - just not eating garlic bread.  The menu must be good eh  :)

T H I S  time however we got a bit of a surprise!! Instead of the usual garlic bread that we are used to and affectionately call football-loaf  . . .

we got THIS instead

which is a definite retro-step!! 

Top marks for the use of the plate again and stacking artistically the bread. Still not sure about the use of a paper napkin under the garlic bread.  However after this,  everything came to a grinding halt.
The "bread" itself obviously was a half sliced pita-bread, then buttered (with a lack of herbs) and then baked.  It was still warm-ish by the time it got to our table.   The texture was typical pita-bread - soft on the inside and also soft on the outside i.e. no crust ( a bit chewy). 
I was hoping for a little side dish of garlic butter as I tasted very little of the 'garlic' but that was not to be.  As a party of  5  and expecting the "football-loaf" - which would have been enough - this offering was never going to be enough - a pity that the staff did not tell us of the change,  we would have ordered two servings had we known.  So we give top marks for presentation and - well - little else
