I will start with the fact that food is fantastic as it's always have been, but that's the only good thing remains that isn't enough to justify the price anymore.

The portion got significantly smaller than they were five years ago, perhaps due to CoL (not that you could increase the price any further). But the most insulting thing is service. I stopped by last night for a quick food trip down memory lane since I was in town for graduation. After all, I eat here all the time when I went through my undergrad program.

All staffs were real pushy about my partner and I ordering drinks. When we make it clear that we are not ordering any (sentiment received with an exaggerated "really???" from one of the staff), the service just gone downhill from there. Extremely hard to flag down any one for anything and when we do, just annoyed look shot at us from all around. It was a moderate busy night but the staffs seem to be treating the next table (who ordered beer and wine) cheerily enough.

You charge gratuity on top of 20-quid-a-plate fish and chips, you could at least try to make it worth it. Our reciept also came out a wrong price (I don't believe it's intentional, but just an annoying cherry on top).

I think the staffs were expected we order something extravagant since one of our party is the graduate (not that we offer up the fact). Truth is we just want a nice quick meal and be off. No one should be pressured into ordering alcohol anyway, no matter the occasion. Sucky.
