A return and a third visit to the Black Rat on Friday 09 March 2018.
4 of us had Dinner there last Friday night and unfortunately and disappointingly the food was really not that special.
Our starters of Ham Hock terrine, Trout and Smoked Eel were fine, but what followed was not.
The Brill was tasteless, the Chestnut Gnocchi nothing that wonderful, the Pollock was overcooked and dry, the Brandade was not a Brandade but was presented as dried up flakes of Salted Cod, a very unpleasant concoction.
Having finished our starters we waited 1 hour for our main courses to arrive , probably because the kitchen was busy cooking and serving a large party upstairs.
A pet hate, why train your "servers" of wine to continuously overfill wine glasses, especially when you're drinking chilled wine? The wine just warms up in the glass and becomes less enjoyable.
Otherwise, service was great.
