I
went
to
the
Allotment
a
few
years
back
when
it
was
still
near
the
town
hall
--
I
remember
having
a
great
time
then
and
was
looking
forward
to
going
back
after
all
this
time.
I
went
this
Monday
and
unfortunately
had
a
thoroughly
disappointing
experience.
The
food
wasn't
bad
per
se,
but
was
awfully
lacking.
I
ordered
the
Bahn
Mi
sandwich,
which
came
with
no
pickled
veg
whatsoever,
no
fresh
chilli,
no
coriander.
The
Salt'n'Pepper
potatoes
were
just
salty,
with
no
hint
of
the
asian
fragrance
one
should
expect
--
I
would
also
have
expected
to
see
some
bits
of
pepper,
and
maybe
onion,
amongst
those,
but
there
was
nothing
of
the
sort.
The
Asian
slaw
was
a
bowl
of
red
cabbage
with
a
British
coleslaw-type
cream.
I
sent
the
whole
thing
back
and
was
told
I
would
get
a
replacement,
but
what
came
back
was
exactly
the
same.
My
parents
had
the
jackfruit
tacos,
which
said
were
ok,
though
looked
quite
simplistic
to
me.
We
then
chanced
the
sticky
toffee
pudding
for
dessert:
the
sauce
was
ok,
and
taste
in
general
was
along
the
right
lines,
but
the
pudding
itself
was
very
dry.
On
further
inspection
of
the
menu
and
photos
from
other
reviews,
I
can
clearly
see
that
the
tacos
were
actually
missing
the
dips
to
go
with
them,
and
that
they
were
simply
covered
with
loads
of
fresh
red
chillis
instead
of
the
usual
chillis,
spring
onions
and
sriracha
mayo.
I
can
also
see
that
the
Bahn
Mi
often
looks
like
a
completely
different
--
and
much
more
appealing!
--
dish,
with
proper
Asian
Slaw
on
the
side,
presented
in
a
baguette
and
with,
expectably,
the
pickled
veg
which
make
the
Bahn
Mi
what
it
is!
The
atmosphere
was
rather
quiet
for
a
bank
holiday
Monday,
with
only
a
couple
of
tables
full
at
any
one
time.
Despite
this,
it
was
still
sometimes
difficult
to
get
the
attention
of
the
waiting
staff,
who
were
at
least
nice
to
deal
with
when
they
would
eventually
come
over.
I'm
not
sure
if
they
were
using
a
different
chef
that
night,
or
if
they
had
some
shortages
of
ingredients,
or
of
motivation,
but
what
they
produced
was
thoroughly
disappointing.
I'm
afraid
I'm
not
going
to
give
it
another
chance,
nor
can
I
recommend
to
anyone
to
visit
at
present.
Shame.
