I have to say that my visit to Hall & Woodhouse was very disappointing. Poor service, indifferent menu, average food and exorbitant prices. I ordered an egg mayonnaise sandwich. It was described on the menu as 'Proper Egg Mayonnaise'. The sandwich arrived on a large enamel plate (all part of the rather self conscious retro branding) with some limp and inedible lettuce garnish. Nothing else. Just two thick slices of ordinary brown bread with a rather mean filling of (proper?) egg mayonnaise. The price? £6.50. My fellow diners had an equally underwhelming selection of sandwiches, the worst of which are the flat bread type since they are even less impressive and even more overpriced. The service was slow; the chips (skinny chips which were even more hideous than McDonald's) arrived some time later and not with the sandwiches. The soft drinks on offer were all from bottles - nothing fresh. The location is interesting but they are going to have to get the important things right - food, value for money and service. I will certainly not go back and I was advise others to proceed with caution. Definitely a case of style over substance ....
