Review of Canteen
31 Jul 07, 22:39
Wagamamas of British food 
The menu stated that all orders were made to order. The slight inaccuracy of this statement was apparent when I tried to first order a juice that wasn't a mixed one. 'They've already been made' came our waitress' reply and then again when I tried to order a main dish.
The layout of this restaurant is exactly like Wagamamas if you've ever been, even the juice drinks are uninventively the same e.g. carrot and ginger. Bench seats where you get sat snugly next to strangers, but then it is called Canteen afterall. I chose the steak and asked for it medium rare. Instead, it was well done, dry and tasteless. Another member of our party had the roast pork which was on the specials menu, that was by contrast to my dish quite succulent but this merely emphasised how my dish was small, bland and not worth around the £16 mark that they were charging for it.
Have heard, however, that their pies are rather good and that I happened to choose the wrong dish. I might end up going back and trying again.

Review of Rocket

Could have been anywhere
The service at this restaurant was exceedingly slow and rude. I went there during my lunch hour and by the end of my lunch hour, the food had still not arrived as we'd only just been served. Ok, that's probably a little harsh, but it did take 30 mins to get someone to take our order. Our table was not the only table to get bad service. One that was adjacent to ours were still eating their starters when the mains arrived. When I asked how long I could expect that our food would take to arrive, I was curtly told by the waiter that everyone was in the same position as I was.
I was expecting more from here given that the two times before that I'd tried to eat in the restaurant it was fully booked. The pizza was ok, could have expected the same at Pizza Express but with better service.
Won't return soon.
