  I keep trying to go there - after many recommendations about the food and service - but SOMEBODY prefers the attention they get over at Pappagone.

  who is this mysterious SOMEBODY that you're talking about? I am partial to a bit of halloumi though - if there are kisses too then I may be sold!

  I finally went for the first time on Saturday night - excellent food and great atmosphere.

  I can't recommend it enough. John (one of the owners - the tall one who doesn't look like Roman Abramovich) rocks. We go there often, and within minutes of us sitting down, he's fixed a fancy pants complimentary mocktail for one of the younger members of our party.
  
  If, on the very rare occasion, John's not around, the front of house/service can be a bit dour, but hey - the food's tremendous.

  yes. exactly that. shake enough strangers hands in a special way and you might get it right. don't forget to use both hands, a bit of tongue and a strange, rapid blinking. (Colette, I've got a few apostrophes wrong in there. Could you get your red pen out?)

  Went again on Wednesday. John wasn't there but the service was great and the staff friendly and the food as ever excellent.

  I always make the mistake of ordering starters. Why oh why oh why ...

  Never order starters, the bread, dip and olives are enough and the mains are always very filling.....

  Nah. Order all the starters and no mains. The starters are the best.

  That's what the vegetarian fiesta is - all the veg starters and a bit of rice rolled up into one main course.

  If they did a little complimentary pot of houmous along with the dip, then I'd be a happy bunny and go straight to the vegetarian kebab.

  I just find that the dip and olives along with the bread are quite filling. The veggie fiesta is massive and you have to be really hungry to get through part of it...Delicious though..

  We all realise that the gritty lumps in the amuse bouche dip are pieces of dirty pear, don't we?

  my preferred phrase for a sub quality pear is _moody pear_.

  I always thought it was potato - but yes, pear - it all makes sense!

  Yuck perry. They've tried to rebrand perry as some fancy pear cider in an attempt to get some of the Magner's trade - you can't polish a turd.

  There's an excellent organic pear cider that I could drink until the cows come home, or at least did at a Festival last summer.

  Been twice now. Both times the meat was mind-alteringly salty. Like, *crazy* salty. Am I alone in this opinion?
