Came here for a light lunch. There's inddor and outdoor seating, but because of social distancing, the indoor seating is about 5 tables and the decor looked in need of some refresh. There was light rain, so I had to sit inside. Most of the menu is standard British fare. There are some international favourites on the menu, but I just went with the Eggs Florentine and a Latte.
I've had Eggs Florentine many times before and this was just about the most disappointing one ever. There was too much water left on the egg and as soon as I cut into the egg whites, the water flowed out soaking the muffin below. What should've been a lovely crisp texture mixed with soft eggs just turned into soggy chewy muffin mixed with eggs.
You can see from the photos just how much water was in the eggs. I also pointed this out when the waiter came to collect my dish, who claimed that water was normal. Erm .. no .. I don't think so. Years of eating this dish tells me the water should be drained properly before being served, and no it is NOT normal.
Both the Egg Florentine and latte very very average, with the former disappointing in the way it was served. TBH, I blame myself for not checking the reviews properly. There's such a mixed bag of ratings, it's inevitable that there's going to be good and bad days.
