Alice House Queen's Park, Library

Always a good time in the Alice House. Friendly staff and a lovely selection of beer, cocktails and coffees too! It manages a fab balance between date nights, big dinners, nights out and brunches with babies.

It's a lovely little pub with a good atmosphere but I probably won't be going back for their food which was very disappointing. I ordered the pork sausages with mash and bacon and lentils. I got two sausages and mash covered in lentils. I found one or two tiny pieces of bacon but that was it and it had no taste of bacon at all. It was dry and bland. I then ordered the sticky toffee pudding which was essentially cake with sticky toffee sauce on it. When you make sticky toffee pudding correctly you allow it to sit in lots of sauce so that the cake part absorbs all the sauce and becomes moist and sticky. Hence 'sticky toffee pudding' I couldn't even finish it it was so dry. We also got brought a bottle of water when we sat down...which we were then charged for. The waitering staff kindly removed it from our bill saying it was for charity....which I found very odd. How can you give your customers something (seemingly for free) and then bill them? It's such a shame about the food...
