Hest Bank

Have eaten here a few times now and it is consistently good. Today I went with a friend. It was busy as it was bank holiday and it was clear that the staff were rushed off their feet. That meant a little bit of extra waiting to be seated then to be served by the one waitress they seemed to have on. She wasn't all that confident but very pleasant and didn't mess anything up. I had. Halloumi sticks starter. Very nice with the panko breadcrumbs and sweet chilli sauce but because they were so generous with the size of cheese it wasn't hot all the way through. Not a huge problem as they were still very tasty and you get three large ones. For main I had the lasagne with garlic bread and ordered extra chips. Lasagne was very nice. It had an interesting Herby crumb on the top which was nice but wasn't overly cheesy. Fine for me but some might prefer more. The chips were lovely. Crispy and fluffy and hot. Just what you want. The garlic bread however wasn't the best. It tasted fine but there was very little garlic on it. You got three big slices though. With lots more garlic they would've been great. Pudding. Chocolate delice. It was so rich and lovely. The small bit you get was just enough and so tasty. My friend had the harissa hummus starter which I tasted and was very very nice. Garlicky with a little kick. Mixed grill main which he said the steak was cooked perfectly. The gammon could have done with more grilling as it was only just cooked but tasty. He said the chicken wings were not nice. Not sure if it was the chicken or their sauce. And he got the cookie dough pudding which he said was so good. Best part of his meal and you got plenty. They did mess up our dessert order which didn't seem to go through but then they fixed it and it came. We didn't mind the waiting but some might. The one star lost was purely with the extra wait and the garlic bread really. Would highly recommend. Unfortunately they seem to have stopped doing the lovely chicken gravy they used to do. Which is a shame because it was incredible. Keep up the good work guys
