The Old Fire Station in Hounslow

Excellent meal. Came from Cheshire and had a superb meal. Staff lovely. Recently opened and well worth a visit.

Wow, what a find!A very warm and friendly welcome on a brief visit to Brentford.A tasty, varied menu was easy to choose from and we will definitely be back to sample more of their delicious pizzas and pasta dishes.The recommended wine complimented my pasta dish perfectly - I really felt like I was near the Med enjoying the freshest seafood.Thank you, absolutely recommended.

Attended as heard that a "living advent" performance taking place. A very interesting and enjoyable performance to include a short tightrope walk on the building roof without a safety harness/net!! Following the performance had a drink in the bar. Friendly staff and lager reasonably priced so near to London. Very pleasant surroundings and clean toilets..did not have food so cannot pass comment on this aspect but would return for a social drink. This location has a number of live performances throughout the year which are well advertised.

The Fire Station has been transformed into a great Italian restaurant. Caspari staff are extremely nice. The service was good and the food delicious. They do not have parking so for Brentford residents take a stroll. Outsiders there is a parking garage nearby.

Nothing wrong with the service, but the food is really so and so. Had the sirloin steak and it was average. And gluten-free seemed to be a swear word here. Ordered blue-cheese sauce and got bernaise sauce. The waiter complained to the chef and I could hear that he was told that it was basically the same thing (!!!) From that I conclude that the chef was not really a professional, but a mere amateur...

I really have no idea what so ever why this place was highly rated. Very un professional staff and dark unpleasant environment. I only had my meal quickly and left the place. Food itsel was nice since it wasn't authentic Persian but modified in far east asian way.Also over priced when it comes to its ambient.

We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday here and the food was amazing. They catered for my sister's vegan diet with a delicious veggie stew, no problem. Lovely friendly atmosphere and Ogy was so attentive throughout, I forgot to bring balloons but she already had some and helped me decorate. Fabulous cocktails! Thanks so much for lovely evening, everyone was raving about it.

Excellent service and very good quality food. The grilled lamb tasted superb and steak was delicious. It was quiet in the restaurant but we didn’t feel this was a problem. Good choice of food and drinks very resonably priced.

This is a hidden gem in Brentford. Hard to spot that there is a restaurant upstairs - and a really good one. Excellent quality, very authentic Persian food. Pity that it is always so empty, eating there can be a little bit lonely. But food, cocktails and friendly service compensate for the lack of atmosphere.

We used a Grouupon voucher which made it better value as the menu prices seem high for the location Food was good and plentiful the service was excellent and we served by a knowledgeable and helpful young waitress It was very quiet in there on the Monday evening we visited but parking outside was difficult but we parked at a local supermarket and walked a few mins The atmosphere was a disappointment as it was very quiet

Este sitio se anuncia como un bar & Grill con un restaurante y bar de arriba abajo. persa Curioso que nos fuimos a cenar. El restaurante se accede por una escalera de caracol desde el bar de abajo. El restaurante es un poco minimalista y aparte de algo de árabe escrito en la pared que es lo persas como se pone! La comida que pedimos (estofado de cordero con arroz jazmín) estaba tibia y contenidos mínimos de cordero. La elección de la música para el Restaurante Persa 'no era más que el estándar POP pero cuando estaba compitiendo con abajo estilo mexicano todo parecía un poco extraño. Quizás otro día sería diferente, pero por desgracia no es un lugar al que volveríamos.

The restaurant was quiet and cold, it was a Tuesday evening after a bank holiday weekend. We ordered drinks a bowl of olives and two mains which were lamb based. The meals were excellent and the restaurant deserves to be busier.

Fuimos allí hace una semana, desde el momento en que entramos en el restaurante nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos, el personal fue muy atento y la comida era de primera clase, tuvimos una comida de tres platos con vino en un bono de groupon que cuestan 14 libras. 00 por persona pero mirando los precios normales de este sitio no es caro, y estoy seguro de que volveré, así que si estás buscando un restaurante con buena comida, servicio y barato entonces prueba este restaurante persa.

Fue la primera vez para nuestro grupo de 4 personas y nos quedamos muy impresionados. La comida era deliciosa, recién preparado y bien presentada. El personal era agradable y servicial. Sin duda bien otra vez. Fue, para nosotros, una joya inesperada! Bien hecho.

Restaurant original. L'escalier typique vaut la peine d'être utilisé. Nous avons mangé dans la petite salle calme à l'étage. Le...

El cordero era húmeda y sabrosa, el pollo perfectamente cocinada. Suficiente comida que tuvimos hambre y aún no podía comer de todo. . . A pesar de realmente disfrutar.

Me fui el sábado por la noche a ver la banda alma misión imposible. Buen Entorno para la banda. Las bebidas no eran demasiado caros. Gran noche.

We ate here when we stayed at the Premier Inn just along the road. The 2 for 1 cocktails were lovely and we enjoyed our foos in a pleasant room. Good service and value too.

eine außerordentlich freundliche Begrüßung in angenehmer Atmosphäre führte über in einen wunderschönen Abend mit Freunden und köstlichen Drinks. Wir werden gern weiter empfehlen und wiederkommen. Danke

Attended pub during happy hour which was a contradiction in terms. Place was empty and the one staff member clearly had no interest in what she was doing. Despite going during happy hour still £22 + for 2 pints and 2 glasses of wine. God knows how much it would have been during normal pricing time. Not a place I would go back to.

As always the food was excellent. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, flavoured and great portion sizes. We ate in a quiet atmosphere on a Saturday, no clue why it was quiet, the food is amazing and always very attentive staff. Cannot recommend the food enough, it's simple (not drowned in sauces or disguised) but so tasty and such quality. Really good value for the food and wine, a lot less than I'm used to paying in London. Only hope is that they bring back the Persian mixed sharing platter of starters, please!

Delicious rump steak cooked to perfection. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Really enjoyed the experience.

My adult daughter and I had dinner here on our last evening at the Premier Inn next door. Unfortunately, there was a very large party of extremely rowdy diners, less than sober, who dominated the evening. The restaurant staff did apologise in advance that there would be a wait because they were so busy, but we initially did not mind. Then the group got more raucous, also using foul language and popping downstairs to the pub to blast music out periodically, which I presume was from a juke box. The noise drowned out the pleasant Persian music in the restaurant. The atmosphere was really poor and that was a great shame, because the food when it arrived was superb. My daughter had salmon and prawns with saffron rice; I enjoyed skewered chicken with salad and bread. My word it was good! We agreed, had it not been for the other table, we would have had a perfect evening. The staff were attentive, the food was delicious- a little more chicken would have been good, but my daughter was served a huge piece of salmon- and the bill was reasonable. We did not pay the discretionary 10% as we felt so uncomfortable with the situation, but nothing was done about the music or language/volume of the other diners. For these reasons, we did not have pudding nor coffee and our bill took over 20 minutes to arrive as the staff by then were caught up in the larger party trying to work out their bill. Food 10 out of 10; atmosphere atrocious.

I have now become a regular customer in this place. Food is always fresh , delicious & steaks are done to perfection. COCKTAILS ARE THE BEST IN BRENTFORD. Sometimes I sit in the garden & just have a glass of latte. No obligations to spend a minimum amount. Staff are very friendly & make you feel at home. Sometimes busy & sometimes restaurant or bar is quiet but standard & service is always high & price very reasonable for the kind of service they provide. Great place after a hard day's work to wind down & enjoy an early evening Happy Hour before going for a meal in the garden or restaurant. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE THE OLD FIRESTATION ANYWHERE NEAR BRENTFORD. It's become place to have my business meetings or just meet up with my friends

Very reasonable, tasty meal. Good value and good service. All food freshly cooked. Can cope intelligently with gluten-free options.

We popped in here for a few drinks prior to our Christmas party, was clean and very nice environment, plenty of choice for drinks

We came here from a recommendation from a local hotel. It was very quiet for a Friday night. The service was very friendly. The food was fresh and and tasty. The fresh naan was delicious as part of my starter. My husband had the lime and chilli prawns. These were delicious.For his main my husband had the lamb and bean casserole. A few more pieces of lamb would have been nice. This did not stop him eating it all though. It really is in an old fire station too.A good start to our weekend away.Thank you

The food is very good, all authentic, reasonably priced. The staff very friendly and helpful, they know their food and can recommend it without fault.

Lovely restaurant with great Persian food.The menu is quite small - but that is a good thing because everything was cooked to order and was fresh. The vegetarian menu is however limited to one thing - (halloumi skewered with roast vegetables) - so lets hope you like halloumi and roast vegetables!My dish was tasty and fresh tasting - but was dry. The staff were very friendly and were completely responsive to us - when we wanted more time to order, re our preference for music (see below), drinks, our queries about the food etc This is a large venue and we went when we were the only diners there (about 7pm) which meant the place felt empty and lacking in atmosphere. The staff put on some music (loud 1980's pop) which didn't work for us at all but to their credit they were responsive and turned it off (later putting on some lower volume muzac which was so in the background it was actually better!).The cocktails are potent and I suffered for a couple of days afterwards! Beware!

£4.50 for 4 prawns for a starter. Wonderful. Then for a main we had oven cooked chips and tinned veg. I ordered the chicken and lamb skewers and only got lamb. Luckily ordered sides of chips (hand cut home made my @rse) otherwise it would have been a skewer of meat on a plate looking lonely.Never going back.

Oh my goodness, we ate so much food! It was good to have to stroll along the Thames to digest our meal afterwards. We ordered way too much for three people - the share meze for four people with your choice of 5 dishes from their starter menu, followed by such tender chicken and lamb skewers, plus saffron rice and minty yoghurt. Very good choice of wines - we had a bottle of Merlot and a bottle of Pinot Grigio - couldn't finish the white so they corked it and we took it home! Superb service, delicious food, easy to book a table - all in all a very pleasant evening. Have been here twice now, and needless to say we shall return!

Old fire station is one I shall most definitely be returning to. Very nice food staff friendly . I left with belly and smile on my face 6/6 for me

Great food and atmosphere with a multilevel restaurant and friendly staff. The food was delicious and was worth every bite!

I went her with a colleague & was not sure what to expect. Great food, great service, great find. I will definitely come back here, should I be in the area again.

The old fire station is one I shall most definitely be returning to. With an exquisite cuisine and a friendly staff, I felt right at home in this rather comfortable restaurant.It filled all of my criterias and I left with belly and a smile on my face 5/5 for me

We went for our annual get together to this venue for food and drinks. The cocktails up until 8pm were 2-4-1 which was good, the porn star martini wasn't that good, but the pina colada was lovely.At about 8:15pm we got taken to our table upstairs and there wasn't anyone else in the seating area. There was a few options for food, but we all chose to go for the Xmas menu which included a traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, sea bass or a lamb shank.Some of us decided to let the venue know in advance what we'd be having and when the food came out, the sea bass and lamb shank looked good and was real nice according to friends. The traditional roast turkey meal however was a shambles, there was no stuffing, no pigs in blankets, no sprouts and no roast potatoes (all of which was advertised). They managed to get a few pigs in blankets at the last second, but then compensated the roast potatoes with garlic potato wedges and instead of stuffing and sprouts, they added a salad on the plate with gravy on it.Bare in mind about 8 of us had pre-ordered our traditional Xmas dinner, they still didn't have the correct food on the plate and it was a shambles. A lot of us ended up not eating and just paid £5 for our starter instead of £25 for the set meal as it should of been. Very disorganised, some staff are helpful and listen, one member was quite rude in his mannerisms and his whole service. I'm guessing it'll be better on a regular night, but I'm not willing to find out, hope this has helped.

Been in for tea & cake at lunch time and now a dinner in the evening.A super place run by a nice fella called Mike.● Excellent Service.● Warm & Relaxing Atmosphere.● Cosy Environment.● Lovely food with attention to detail and flavours. ● Try the tapas and a pizza.● Good evening menu allowing you a vast choice of mix and match.● Reasonable prices.A few pictures added.Thank You.

We came across this little gem while staying over in Brentford one weekend. We used trip advisor to find a good restaurant near us and this came up. What a pleasant little place it is. I was dining with my boyfriend and his family and we all had such a lovely meal. Once ordering our drinks and our meal, there was a bit of a wait for it to come out but nothing that was worth complaining about. After all the food was amazing, don't think anyone left a grain of rice on their plates. If you are in the area, this place is definately worth a visit!

Extremely friendly, great service, great food, cant fault it am always going there. The meat is so tender, it just melts in your mouth.

We visited the Old Fire Station for the first time recently having lived in Brentford for three years.The restaurant always looked pretty quiet from the outside which I think put us off but we were pleasantly surprised!The building is interesting and unique. Downstairs, there is a bar and we were directed upstairs to the restaurant soon after we entered and explained we wanted to eat.Our waiter was friendly and efficient.The good was delicious and good value for money. I had never tried Persian cuisine before and was really pleased with my experience. We will definitely be going again soon!

Got a drink & asked for menu…15 mins later & still waiting for menu so went & asked again! 5mins later & finally got a menu…another 15 mins & still know one tried to take our order despite us Being the only people in on a quite Sunday evening…finished our drinks & left.

We hadn't had Persian cuisine before and were not disappointed. The upstairs restaurant is well presented in this old firestation building. The staff were very helpful and the food arrived promptly. There was a goods selection of starters and I had a few of these veggie options instead of a main. Most of the main dishes are based around lamb or chicken, however, veggie options are available. The persian bread, full of sesame seeds was light and tasty. Buy one get one free cocktails also helped matters, although we didn't realise this was the case until two arrived. Oh well!

This was a very nice experience we had never had persian food before but was not disappointed the staff were friendly and the food was well presented and adequate portions at a very reasonable price.

Great food, first rate personal service. We had a wonderful wedding anniversary party here. The venue has everything for young and old. Places for kids to explore safely, quiet spots for those looking for time out and lots of space for everyone to gather about. The staff made everyone feel at home and friends and family spoke as warmly about the barman, waiter and waitress as how much they had enjoyed the food and drinks. Highly recommend this venue for anyone seeking to hold a party with a difference.

We went to the old fire station for the first time this week. It won't be the last. The food was delicious. The service very friendly if a little slow but it was worth the wait. The food turned up beautifully seasoned & tasted very fresh. Looking forward to returning.

Great food a mix of western and eastern food not spicy or bland A real joy to eat a tasty dish of really great food Give it a try you will be surprised 2 4 1 cocktails when I went Beer is really nice and chilled

My husband and I recently held a joint 40th birthday party at the Old Fire Station bar - it was amazing!!! Lots of of thanks to Faro and his team for making the evening flow so smoothly. Nothing was too much effort, they even accommodated our 1970's themed music for the evening!!! I would highly recommend the Old Fire Station for any event, brilliant cocktails!!

Nice restaurant with very good starters. We found the main dishes a bit dry as we prefer gravy based dishes rather than just marinaded. Very helpful staff with our children. We were the only diners in on Friday early evening but was quite nice.

The downside with this restaurant is that you have to go through a very noisy bar to access it. We walked around the building looking for the entrance but discovered you have to go into a crowded bar and up a spiral staircase strung with fairy lights! The night we went there was also a very loud party in the room above the restaurant so we had a disco beat accompaniment to the meal. However the food was excellent. Their pitta bread is the lightest bread imaginable and the sorbet is the best in the world!

Lovely food, reasonably priced and great service. We were in the area to watch the six Nations rugby, just stumbled across the restaurant and we're freaky glad we did. Recommended!

I held my daughter's 18th birthday party here and the staff were amazing! From the moment we arrived,they helped with decorations, setting up the projector, went out of their way to make sure we were all happy and had everything we needed. Nothing was too much trouble. My daughter had an amazing time. All her friends loved it and kept saying what a great venue it is. It really is a gem. I want to thank the management and staff for a really amazing night!!!

I arranged a surprise 50th birthday party here for about 60 people. I have nothing but praise for the service and support I received. Irena was both helpful and efficient, she made the function room look perfect, and tailored everything to my needs. Everything ran super smoothly, all the guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I completely recommend this venue if you are looking to arrange any kind of party.

We were planning our wedding for over a year & visited many venues but because of the friendly staff, we decided to choose The Old Fire Station for our big day. No Regrets. For £2000 inclusive, , we had delicious food, fabulous decor & flowers as we wanted, Dj, very friendly & caring staff & much more than we had expected. Already our friends planning their birthdays & future coming weddings at The Old Fire Station. What a fantastic way to start our new life . Must be visit to believe

While visiting Kew Gardens, we heard about the Old Fire Staion Bar & Restaurant in Brentford & thought why not try the food & drink here. We all wished if this bar & restaurant were in Knightsbridge, where we live. Food among top foods I have had in the top restauants in London with the exeption of service which matched the food. Very Knowledgeable & friendly bar & restaurant staff. With a Bar, Restaurant & a Private room on 3 floors, I know where we will be spending our Valentines & afterward our anniversary party. 100% recommend this place

I attended a football match at Brentford and this restaurant was 5 minutes walk from Griffin Park.The building was a 'cool' renovated fire station and a chilled atmosphere was evident immediately upon entering the bar which occupies the entire ground floor. The bartender was friendly and it was 2 for 1 cocktails so it would be rude not to.The restaurant occupied the first and second floor and we made our way to the restaurant level with one of our later rounds of drinks.The waitress took time to explain the menu and options and allowed us plenty of time to choose and was fully attentive when we were ready.The food was excellent and beautifully presented and enjoyed by the four of us.The staff were attending to two big parties (I think 60 in total) and apart from a slight delay in our desserts (which we we warned about at ordering) they coped admirably.I would visit regularly if I lived locally.Thanks for a great evening.

Few of us friends spent our New Years Eve at the firestation cuban bar, loved the tasty cocktails, awesome DJ!!We had a fantastic night, i would defiantly come back. This place is a hidden gem.

I don't know why, but I just really like this place. I've been there as a punter and my company used it for a corporate event last year and it's just a cool place. It's a shame it's not in a busier area, as it deserves to be packed.

On an impromptu jaunt for dinner, The Old FireStation here in Brentford proved to be a good option, certainly the best in the locale... From fab. cocktails in the Bar downstairs through to the excellent service in the restaurant, great stuff !

We visited during a brief stay at Travelodge Kew Bridge, a 10 minute walk away. We enjoyed a delightful dinner & having never eaten Persian food before we went with the waitress's recommendations, a mixed meze starter followed by a meat platter with rice & salad, Persian ice cream & tea for dessert. Reasonable price, approx £30pp inc drinks & service charge. Certainly give it a try if you're in the area.

What a delightful find. We enjoyed some very different food, infused with pistachios, pomegranates and herbs. Persian flatbread with tarragon, feta cheese, radishes, spring onions and walnuts made a fantastic pre-starter as recommended by the waitress, followed by an unusual smoky aubergine. Our main courses were mixed kebabs and chicken stew and then baklava and tea finished the meal. Our waitress was exceptional, very knowledgeable and helpful. A visit is recommended.

Having seen the sign Persian food,we decided to give it a go.What a wonderful experience.We were asked if we had eaten Persian food before, as we said no, we were given helpful advice on the dishes on the menu and an insight into their preparation.The meal was delicious with a very nice wine, an altogether very enjoyable experience at a sensible price. We would certainly go again.

Excellent food, pleasant surroundings. The waitress was excellent, very friendly, especially helpful with the children. Would love to go again. Very convenient if you're staying at the nearby Premier Inn.

Chose this restaurant from the internet on our recent visit to London and cannot recommend it enough. The welcome, the food, the drink and the price were all very good but the waitress was excellent explaining the menu and making our meal and evening very enjoyable.

Cycle past here each week and love the outside so wanted to give it a try. The bar on first floor was completely empty (not even a staff member). Went up to the first floor restaurant and greeted by friendly lady. House wine was good. Had mixed starters which were mainly dippy bits. Some bits I loved, some bits not so much but good mix - maybe a there could have been something else for texture? The poppy seed bread we ordered with it was really light and yummy. For main we shared a lamb kebab (I could have eaten a whole one but I was hungry). Lamb was tender and lovely and came with a nice salad. We chose to have this with the bread again (could have chosen rice). We still had some yogurt dip from the starter to add to it.Pudding I had pancake with really aromatic orange syrup and ice cream. Tried the turkish tea - first time I'd tried it and it was a nice finish to the meal.A little lacking in atmosphere but it was a Tues night!Would def go back and try diff starters, yummy bread and a whole kebab. Yum yum!!!

I walk past the Old Fire Station on the way to the office and fancied it because of how inviting it looks from the outside. On entering I was meeted and greeted by Andre who was the perfect host.His great customer service complimented the food perfectly and I had a thoroughly enjoyable and very authentic meal.Will be making a weekly visit to sample more middle eastern delicacies as long as I remain working in the area.

Già da fuori il locale è interessante, per nulla anonimo e molto caratteristico. Visto il nome, direi proprio che si tratta di una vecchia stazione dei pompieri trasformata in bar cubano al piano terra, e ristorante persiano al piano superiore.Il locale non è molto grande, ma molto accogliente, caldo, arredato in modo semplice ma elegante; su ogni tavolo c’era una candela ed un piccolo vaso con una rosa rossa. Luci abbastanza basse e musica di sottofondo di origine arabica che non disturbava per nulla. Ci sono stata un sabato a cena ed era prevista musica live, ma purtroppo me la sono persa; dopo una giornata passata a camminare, mi stavo addormentando….Ottimo il servizio: cameriere celeri, simpatiche, disponibili a chiacchierare e consigliare i clienti, sempre sorridenti.Ampia scelta del menù (consultabile on-line sul loro sito), principalmente carne di agnello ma non solo; io infatti ho optato per del pollo brasato accompagnato da riso basmati cotto a vapore con zafferano e condito con delle bacche rosse dolciastre (barberries) a me sconosciute sino a quel momento e pistacchi. Il gusto è decisamente diverso da quelli ai quali siamo abituati noi, ma mi è piaciuto molto; le porzioni sono davvero molto generose ed i prezzi a mio avviso contenuti, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.Come il mio solito ho chiesto acqua del rubinetto (tap water) che è gratis, e mi è stata portata una caraffa con cubetti di ghiaccio e fette di limone.Mi spiace solo che questo locale si trovi un po’ fuori mano (ho alloggiato nell’hotel in fianco quindi comodissimo in quell’occasione), ma spero di avere occasione di tornarci in una delle mie prossime visite a Londra.

I have been here a few times now, with not one dud meal among them. Food is fresh, tasty and zinging with palate inducing sensations. The service is helpful and friendly, with waiters happy to help. The prices are surprisingly good for this kind of restaurant; and the ambience soothing, informal and friendly. I pass it frequently, and it seems to always have happy customers; not seen or heard of any poor reviews. And at peak times, the sound of happy guests fair buzz with enjoyment. Indeed, my next visit is imminent. Outside seating is scarce, amounting to a couple of tables and chairs on the main road, but in pleasant weather, they are often used.

We stumbled upon this restaurant just because we happened to need to eat and were staying very nearby (Travelodge Kew Bridge). We decided to try the recommendations of the waiting staff and went for mixed metze to start which we shared between four. We were left wanting more and couldn't wait for our main course, again we chose mixed kebabs to feed four with plenty of salad, bread and rice all cooked to perfection. A mixture of interesting desserts followed topped off with coffees for three of us. Along with a round of drinks and a large jug of iced water the bill came to just over £100 including a 10% service charge. We felt it was good value for a meal which was extremely tasty and had been an experience too. Four very full bellies (my husband, my two rugby playing teenage boys and me) and happy smiles all round! If I lived nearby I think this place could become a favoured haunt!

A friendly and welcoming feel to this Persian restaurant , the meal was excellent and surroundings relaxing . We will definitely return.

Having recently moved into Brentford I have found many of the bars and restaurant unwelcoming and almost intimidating. Then after giving up hope I was recommended to try the Fire Station. What a suprise! The staff were friendly and very helpful and the cocktail list was great, not to mention the happy hour! Mmm. It really was a place you could relax and unwind after a day in the office. I have yet to try the restaurant upstairs but if the bar is anything to go by I'm sure I won't be disappointed!!

A group of us had lunch and can recommend the restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. Food came quickly and I didnt hear any complaints about the quality. Overall recommended.

Loved the starters -- we ordered pretty much everything! for a large group. The main entrees were good, but had excellent Turkish food at Kervans! Nonetheless, I really appreciated the service.

Fab food, wonderful service, great price, who could ask for anything more, brilliant

Pleasant venue but ruined because the bar person tried to rip me off. The drinks menu clearly shows the cost of the drinks but I was short-changed by £1, I had only ordered one drink so it wasn't if it was an adding up error. The person who served me disappeared after givng me my change and I had to point out her error to another member of staff who immediately gave me the correct change so it must be a common occurrence. Apart from this one incident it looked ok and we were going to eat there until that happened.
