Papa's Pizza - Hull

55 Princes Avenue, Hull HU5 3QY

27-12-2011

These total idiots completely got my order wrong, so bad the dog wouldn’t even touch it.

I ordered a Hot Shot pizza and asked for NO onions. When it arrived it had so many onions on it I may as well as ordered a raw onion with a little bit of pizza hanging off it.

We also ordered a burger with mayo and lettuce, when it was delivered it had ketchup, something we couldn’t describe and another kilo of onion.

Next time going to order from somewhere that understands English and doesn’t have a weird fascination with onion.

When can we give somewhere Zero stars?

El Burro - Lanzarote

Calle Reina Sofia 36, Puerto Del Carmen, 35340 Lanzarote

Great Fajitas, possibly some of the best I have ever had and pretty reasonable at around 9 Euro each. They came with (white) rice and black beans which I haven’t seen before in a Tex-Mex place. If the rice had been Mexican style it would have amazing. The menu is grills, fish, anything to be truthful.

The service was pretty good except for when we walked in I saw they had chip’n’pin card terminals so thought I could pay by card, but when I pulled the card out to pay the bill the waiter’s face changed, which I didn’t like, and he said they weren’t working. Luckily I had some cash on me which covered the bill which for the two of us plus a beer each came to 24 Euro.

It’s in the old town of Puerto Del Carmen at the top of the big hill Calle Reina Sofia so not somewhere you would pass unless you are staying in the apartments around there, but it’s worth a 5 minute walk to.

The Godfather - Hull

803 Hotham Road South, Hull HU5 5JX

First time we have ever ordered from here and next time will go elsewhere.

They got our order wrong and we were missing a portion of chips. We rang up and asked them to be delivered, they then must of put the phone on the side until we went away as they wouldn’t speak to us. The chips never turned up.

The pizza we got wasn’t great, the burger we got was pretty poor too.

Harpers Fish & Chips - Hull

629 Anlaby Road, Hull HU3 6SU

Average fish and chip shop to be honest. The patties were huge but were not the best I have ever had. To be fair the service was really good.

The Regent - Leeds

15-17 Regent Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS7 4PE

20-11-2011

Top pub, great for watching football. Not over the top busy and usually get a seat. The pint of Stella at £3.01 makes me laugh, why not just make it £3.00 to keep things simpler for everyone.

Vongs Kitchen - Hull

510 Anlaby Road, Hull HU3 6SZ

20-11-2011

The first Chinese I have ever been to where the staff don’t understand what a Szechuan Chicken dish is.

The staff openly took the mick when I ordered the Szechuan Chicken, which I pronounced normally as I do in any Chinese. Next time I would just bark a number at them but I won’t be going back ever again as I don’t know whether it was a really poor Szechuan dish or they had given me something entirely different.

Either way it was a really poor standard of food coupled with ridiculously bad service. Avoid.

When can we give 0 stars? This place doesn’t deserve 1 star but the lowest I can give.

The Manor - Chapel Allerton

5 Stainbeck Lane, Chapel Allerton, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS7 3PJ

31-10-2011

The small black girl behind the bar completely ignored me as I waited to be served, then she served the first person who walked up next to me. Worst service possibly ever. Avoid.

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would.

Hola Manito - Gràcia

Carrer Gran de Gràcia167, 08012 Barcelona

20-06-2011

The fajitas and enchilladas here are very good. The fajitas came with salad and chips which is the first time I have ever seen in a Mexican.

Service was spot on. It was quiet when we walked in but soon the place was full, so I would say get their earlier.

It's not a tourist area so mainly locals. Parking was a bit of a problem.

Royal Inn On The Park - Homerton

Lauriston Road, Homerton, London E9 7LH

Had a sunday lunch here recently which was pretty good and the plates are big. I ordered the half cornfed chicken which was very good, the roast potatoes were excellent.

The service was really quick and the staff are really good.

I've never had Litovel lager before which they sell here and it's a new favourite.

My only gripes are that they have the salt and pepper in little shot type glasses which I always find annoying. They should be in shakers.

It was £13.50 for the dish which I thought was slightly over-priced.

I prefer carvery style sunday roasts were you can pick what you want as sometimes you don't eat everything it comes with.

Further North - Chapel Allerton

194 Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS7 4NZ

21-05-2011

£4 for a pint is ridiculous. I asked for two pints of lager. £8.

Not going again.

The day before yesterday
