Goddard’s
pie & mash
Date of Visit: 9th
June 2013
Ambience
From afar, this looked like a
British pub from the outside and if we hadn’t walked past it, we wouldn’t have
ventured it. The traditional looking
pies lured us in for a quick lunch but upon entering, it still looked quite pub
like and it was a self-service place where you ordered the food, paid for it
and took it to your own table. With
wooden tables and wooden chairs, it really was simplistic but nothing more was
expected, except non-sticky tables would have been preferred.
Food
The menu was simple, you either
have pie or something similar like pasties with mash. We had a chicken & mushroom pie and a
steak & ale pie with mash, covered in plenty of gravy and traditional
English tea.
All were satisfying but the option to add your own milk in the
tea would have been better as I like mine a little stronger than what was
offered.
Service
The people taking orders behind
the counter were smiling and friendly and whilst most of it is self-service, I
witnessed a very fast turn-around in tables as there were staff available to
clear up and wipe down the tables as soon as people left.
Summary
In a few words: satisfying, cheap and
cheerful. Can’t really fault the food and for what it is, it’s not really worth
doing up the interior as it would risk losing the rustic feel
