A table of 10 of us went for the business lunch at 2.30pm. The staff greeted us well and very friendly and well mannered.
We had the choice of a can of soda, a starter and a main, or a main and a dessert for 79. Alternatively, the possibility of all 3 (starter, main and dessert) for 99.
I didn’t go for all three as I was not excited by the menu. The first thing I’d like to recommend, is that you broaden your options for vegetarians.
I would’ve preferred to go for a starter and main like everyone else, but as a vegetarian I went for the gnocchi burrata main, so didn’t fancy a the burrata starter. As vegetarian starters were rather limited, I went for the dessert. A brownie.
This meant that I had to sit and wait for the other 9 to be served their starters and finish them before having my first bite.
It took 1 hour 20 minutes before I received my main. I sat there nursing a coke during that time. A staff member should have asked if I wanted my main earlier so I could start eating with the others. The other diners were all taking pity and apologising for eating without me, which is not what I wanted.
When the main course arrived 1 hour 20 minutes after sitting, I finished it within 3 minutes. It was definitely more of a starter serving. The burrata was tiny and smaller than the one included on the starter itself. The brownie was as expected, but the dessert options were pretty poor to be honest. No tiramasu, it definitely felt more like a poor man’s lunch. The ice cream another diner chose was the smallest I’ve ever seen.
I used to go to The Kitchen regularly a year or two back, but something seems to have changed. It is now usually always empty and the servings are tiny. For the rest of the menu, it is pricey and the draught beer comes in smaller than usual Sizes for a premium price.
There really is not reason to be visiting this place anymore when there are so many other options around, giving deals or decent sized portions.
I think today finally put the nail in the coffin for The...
