The Fossgate Social — Restaurant in England

Deiced to visit for a nice craft beer and the menu was reasonable, not too much local stuff but that is fine. The staff were were indifferent and clearly not interested in beer. I was disappointed when I requested a half pint but they said that they only served 2/3rds. I understand this with regards to high percentage, normally craft beer, where pints are ill advised, but not the otherway around. Cynically it feels like a cash grab, but maybe they just don't have the glasses. I was not a fan of the seating, it was uncomfortable especially where I was with a pillar wedged into my back with no wiggle room around the table. I didn't enjoy the vibe, it felt like a place where dates flounder, indecisive over what the place wanted to be. Coffee shop and craft beer don't mix and I found the pairing uncomfortable.

It used to be jam packed all the time with buzzing atmosphere, great food and coffee. Today however it was empty which was surprising for Sunday midday. Coffee was ok, service as well, but they had very little sweet selection this time and the place wasn't the cleanest either. We sat on the outside and tables were covered in cigarette ash, and there was broken glass on the floor ( I guess) from the night before. Now I understand we might just entered in a very unlucky time and that's the reason for a little less positive experience. I hope it's still the same great coffee place as I...
