Tower and Turret, new Italian restaurant in the Garrison Hotel. We decided to try the new place out and 3 of us dined. We were served our drinks and ordered our food, we asked for it all to be brought out at the same time as we were all going to share. We ordered the fig salad, olives, seafood pasta, chicken and cous cous and muscle and clam broth. We waited for over an hour to get our food, when it finally arrived, there was not the relevant cutlery to eat it with, no spoon for the salad or the broth so had to ask for them.

Onion rings dripping with oil. Somewhat undercooked.
Garrison Burger extremely greasy and over cooked unseasoned

Good selection of beers, stunning building exterior.
Old till system meant receiving my refund in cash and waiting...

So overall the food was poor ! When I went to settle bill server asked if I had had two pints for £8 deal (wasn't even told about any beer deals) Just an all in all poor service... I...
