Mains range from £6.45 (creamy vegetable pie with chips and seasonal vegetables) to £9.95 (chargrilled ribeye steak with chips, grilled tomato, mushrooms, and mustard butter sauce). Three vegetarian dishes on the menu; the vegetable pie, plus vegetable lasagne and vegetable jalfrezi (both £6.95). Desserts are also available, priced at £3.25-£3.95. (Prices as of April 2007.)
Kake and Martin tried the food on Thursday 12 April. The creamy vegetable pie was supposed to come with seasonal vegetables, but it didn't. It was also somewhat overburdened with potato; as well as the chips that came with it and the mashed potato on top, there were several chunks of new potato inside it as well. Apart from that it was good; well flavoured, with nicely-cooked vegetables, and certainly a sufficient portion. The chips were good and crispy too. Martin will have to give more details of his steak, but we did notice that it was somewhat smaller than the fabled Star steaks of the past, and it also wasn't cooked rare, as had been requested.
