Unfortunately one of our readers and PTC member has had the displeasure to dine at a new fandangled restaurant situated between 129 and 133 The Promenade in Cheltenham and have asked that their experience be shared. I feel a tad upset that I wasn't in attendance at their dinner because if it is as bad as they endorse then I would have almost certainly done a 'Basil Fawlty' with a facial twitch just for the totty fun of it; something would have had to lighten the evening!!
Four people being seated on a table big enough to hold four boiled eggs in cups is a terrible start. Waiting ages for Champagne with your feet piled on top of each other under said table is not good; ones stockings are almost certainly going to get laddered. Loose Winkles rolling around on a plate resembling a game of Tiddlywinks, cold Foie Gras, Lobster that must have shrunk to a Crayfish and Beef Wellington halved not sliced would have had me looking around for the secret camera's and suspicion that we were being filmed for a hysterical Dom Jolly sketch!! Charging extra for everything you would need to assist gastronomy and keep your main course company on the plate is as incredulous as the waiter's efficiency.
This leaves the main finale frump grump being £345 for a two and a bit course meal with wine softened by the inherent compulsory 10% discretionary tip added to each bill which must be used in cash to tease the waiters to attend and put up with the massive onslaught that will surely accumulate each week?
Clearly this is a place one goes to for a royal totty laugh?
