Sweetings

Had lunch here last Monday and this place has not changed in the years since I went last.

Service was fine, friendly and knowledgable, although some of the waiters have been here for years so it should be good.

Food is 100% fish and we went for a crab cocktail and a prawn cocktail to start. Both were very good but at £13 and £9 each they had to be. Mains were not so good, the cod with parsley sauce was good but the scampi were a bit plain and not worth the £15 charged for 8 scampi and nothing else. Sides were okay but again not cheap at £4 each.

The wine list was short and white only and we had a bottle for about £22.

The place has bags of charm and the place was busy for a Monday, but at just over £100 for 2 courses each and 1 bottle of wine not the cheapest place around.
