The Devonshire

When with my two sisters and brother in-law for Sunday lunch. After some fairly promising starters (mezze, fig & mozzarella salad and some very average calamari) it all went down hill rapidly... well, when I say rapidly I actually mean VERY slowly. The plates from our starters were still sat in front of us after 30 mins - in the end we cleared them ourselves. Then the wait for our main course began, and continued...

After 1 hour and 30 mins (and several requests) our food finally turned up. I wish it hadnt. Admittedly the lamb chops (2x) were apparently very nice but our burgers from the much vaunted BBQ were simply inedible. Having both asked for them to be cooked 'medium' (we were asked how we'd like them done) they arrived like lumps of charcoal and were complete devoid of any taste. I seriously think they had been on the BBQ for the entire time we had been waiting.

Good location, nice out door area - just a shame about the organisation and food!
