It is with regret that I leave this review but unfortunately my experience the last two times I've been to Foreign Muck has left me with little desire to return. Yesterday myself and a friend decided to pop in for some food and found the service poor. Despite there being clear tables we were told to leave our number and they'd contact us, however upon our insistence that we were happy to wait at the bar, they allowed us to pull up a seat and wait. Hoping to grab a beer while we waited we asked the staff, but we're told that we'd be seated shortly and not to worry about. We were then taken to a table several minutes later and slightly parched. Our order for drinks were taken but then a few more minutes go as we watch another table arrive before we ask our initial waiting staff if our drinks were on the way. They admitted they'd forgotten our order and it would arrive shortly. We get our drinks and starter, shortly after and all is going well. We demolish the starter between us and while enjoying our drinks we see two large tables seated next to us. Our server asks us if we want new drinks and being thirsty gentlemen we place our order. Unfortunately once again our drinks were not immediately forthcoming and we asked a different server if she could chase them up for us. During this time both the tables seated after us start receiving food and we are left still waiting for both drinks and food. We chase our drinks down once more and they arrive almost immediately, having been forgotten at the bar. We consume most of our drinks as the tables near us now receive further food. Annoyed, we go to ask the server why those tables had received their food before us, having been sat down before. They tried to explain that it was based on when our starter was finished. We then questioned why they had to be reminded of our drinks orders and they blamed the use of a notepad for them being forgotten. At this point they called over the manager who then condescendingly explained how food service is conducted. They then informed us that our food was now ready. At this point the mood had soured and we refused, paying for our drinks and starter before leaving. We were one of three tables remaining in the restaurant. It's such a shame as the food and service in previous years had been excellent, but both this experience and my previous one having large service issues has moved me to leave this review in hope that some change will take place. Unless it is someone else's suggestion, I do not think I'll be coming back any time soon. The food here is still exceptional, but the price has gone up and with the service I've received it's a much harder sell.
