This
is
/
was
(?)
one
of
those
city
institutional
restaurants
that
was
a
favourite
back
in
the
day
by
a
number
of
the
financiers
from
the
left
side
of
bank
station
or
the
lloyds
underwriters
/
brokers
from
the
right
side
of
bank
station.
Generally
always
packed
at
lunch
time
and
serving
generous
and
heavy
british
style
dishes
and
with
a
lot
of
'meat'
involved.
Fairly
decent
wine
list
and
with
a
range
of
prices
-
on
each
of
the
times
visiting
it
has
always
been
as
a
guest
of
a
client
and
it
has
always
involved
heavy
red
wines
and
port.
Many
years
back
it
was
the
port
that
was
drunk
first
.....
usually
you'll
have
a
starter
and
meat
main
course
and
then
a
number
of
side
dishes
of
vegetables
etc
etc
that
you'll
share
.........
deserts
/
cheese
after
and
depending
on
when
the
sticky
toffee
pudding
or
bread
pudding
were
good
but
extremely
heavy
portions.
Back
in
the
day
this
was
a
location
you
were
entertaining
at
or
entertained
at
and
generally
made
it
an
'all
afternooner'
The
recent
visit
i
made
as
a
guest
had
a
gap
of
a
few
years
between
(
i
forget
the
prior
visit
year
)
and
though
i
enjoyed,
probably
more
due
to
the
company
of
people
i
was
with,
i
didn't
find
the
food
as
provoking
and
interesting
as
in
the
'years
gone
by'
-
perhaps
i
put
that
down
to
having
moved
on
in
life....
But
still
a
worth
while
visit
and
it
still
attracts
its
regulars
-
rustic
charm,
style,
food
and
serving
style
:
though
it
is
good
to
see
it
still
retains
at
least
a
mild
element
of
its
prior
charm
and
hasn't
become
another
overly
decorated
restaurant
I've
never
found
the
pricing
to
be
anything
except
what
you'd
expect
to
pay
in
this
area
for
lunch
and
vino
-
vino
depending
on
what
your
taste
is
....
