Cinnamon Kitchen

Went as a big group for a friend's birthday, so we all had the £19, 3 course set menu accompanied with a bellini.

Extraordinarily cheap for its location and atmosphere, then figured the meat served were not the prime parts of an animal. Starter I had chicken gizzard, main was porks ribs and for dessert had the kulfi ice cream. The food was tasty and just right in portion.

The staff were very nice but they could be a little more organised as they would mix up the dishes between guests but things were sorted quickly.

Arrived at 5:40pm and there was already a queue on a Wednesday evening, doors opened at 6pm on the dot and being third in line but my friend had not arrived so I had to wait in the bar area. My friend arrived at 6:15pm and there were no more seats but I had already grabbed a bar seat so we ate upstairs at the bar.

Whilst waiting I had a hard lemon cocktail, yummy! When my friend arrived we had a pickle back, which is a much try but be careful as it can be potentially lethal (easy drink but STRONG!).

Food arrived not long after we made out orders, we ordered pork loin and pulled pork. Both were tasty though I thought the pulled pork was a little dry but the loin was juicy. Must try the chipstole coleslaw.

Overall, a quick (finished under 1 hr.) and cheerful meal.

I have been a patron to this restaurant for many years, each time returning for its acclaimed spare ribs and crispy duck - a must try!

Though the restaurant was busy but we were met with great hospitality and were quickly seated with menus. The food was served quickly and was of high standard. I must praise the frogs legs for the adventurous and the shredded beef for the conservative!

Dessert was toffee banana with ice cream which is another all time classic. We will be visiting again soon!
