Papa's Taste

Eat. The. Bird. What a surprise and I understand why my friend highly recommended it. High points - Cheeky Names, Design choices. Mix of sass, retro feel, in your face boldness. Food - great flavors and so much of it sounded good, great options for a burger/chicken joint. Service was pleasant, location clean. Casual vibe, added to enjoyment. Cocktail options/happy hours. Cons - There were some elements in design lacking fitting with the rest. Some retro elements on the wall - but like 2 for such major floor space felt lost. Price, a little on the high end but worth it enough to get over.

I have, we have eaten here before, many times, but as well all know, we judge based on our last visit or from someone we know who has been recently. The greeting was good, a smile and a hello. I was out with one of my daughters, and both were hungry. Things are looking a bit tatty now, chair covers broken, cleaning not great that kind of thing. The service has always been relaxed and chilled here, but tonight, it was almost sub zero. Painful really. The food was alright. We both had the plant based chicktator burger and shared a cheesy louisianna fries. The fries seem to have got smaller and smaller portions as visits progress. It's like the whole waggon wheel thing as kids!! Have I got bigger, or has the waggon wheel got smaller? And why oh why is there so little attention to detail when it comes to making the veggy/vegan options? Looking around us, everyone else's burgers looked tall and dare I say sexy, ours looked squished and definitely not sexy, they did though, taste really nice. Put as much attention into the alternative as the main would be my point, I think. I did have a chat when paying about my observations, and the chap listened and agreed. I hope he took this to the managers? Yes, we will go back again. We like Eat the bird, and as an independent, we need to support them. Attention to detail.

This used to be me and my partners favourite takeaway but since last Christmas they've had an unbelievable decline in quality. The last 2 orders we've had have almost represented a completely different restaurant with how bad quality they've been. Portion sizes literally cut in half and ingredients are missing! The meal deal sized wrap in this picture cost £13.50!
