The Bengal Lancer

The starters were a little tasteless, we had paneer tikka and chicken pakora. The mains were average.

The waiter wasn't very attentive.

Be careful if attempting to park your car in their "ample parking area" as it is actually a private area with a lot of warning signs about clamping and tow-aways being enforced. We phoned the restaurant but they told to ignore these and park anyway. We used our better judgement and parked elsewhere.

Just like other reviewers we suspected that we were overcharged on the food.

Lime Bar & Restaurant

Everything thing good as usual but not too happy with the prawns massala this time. Wish they had a more varied dessert menu.

The waiters were polite and attentive without being annoying. I've noticed that it gets quite cold in there sometimes but they turned the heating on when we asked

Thai Express

Went there for a quick meal but never again. As soon as we walked in we were smothered by an almost unbearable flowery smell like someone had emptied a few cans of air freshener into the room.

We ordered the green curry and the duck curry. Both were very spicy, the green curry especially so. When we sent it back the chef had just added water and sent it back. When we asked why it was so watery the waitress was adamant that only coconut milk had been added and went on to explain that in the city no one adds water in the curries insinuating that we were that naive. I cook Thai curries at home and know the difference between water and coconut milk. The duck was nice.

Went to the the pub round the corner.
