Restaurants in Banbury

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times before and it was brilliant however we went this Thursday (3rd Feb 2011) for my birthday and it was AWFUL. I was so disappointed. We arrived and were seated and then 10 minutes later a table of 32 people came in. Despite the fact that we were there first and there was only two of us the staff served the massive table first leaving us with a very long wait for both our starters and our main courses. My husband had ordered pizza which was cooked fresh and was delicious, I had crespoline which tasted as though it had been sat under the hot lamp for the entire time it had taken to serve the large table. When we came to pay I said to the waitress that I had been disappointed with the service - she couldn't have cared less what I was saying and said it was our fault we had to wait as we had been too slow eating our starters! She was so rude and it was such a disappointing experience we will never go back.

I found the staff very pleasant and helpful, food 6/10 the only criticism is the fact they charge you for each tiny pot of preserves, so if you like chutney its 50p a spoonful not good.
