We decided to go back to Rick steins after a long break,because lets be honest it is expensive,we had the set lunch which looked on paper a good bet at £29.99,the seafood soup and crab were both very good and we thought great this is going to be good,then the hake was served and it was a disaster the batter was ok but the fish was mush inside way over cooked although the pea puree with it was great,the half lobster thernidor was also excellent a kick back to the 70,s.
The puddings were both very disappointing we had some chocolate mousse which was more like a hard and dry cake and also something like small doughnuts that was also very hard and inedible,

All in all even though the price was ok we feel that they could do better in the kitchen.

The service by the way was very good ,maybe slightly over attentive but the staff our very welcoming.
