Around the time of my visit here, the yet to be renamed Press Up Entertainment - now Eclective - were in various forms of financial trouble.
My visit here may have suggested why.
This vast, vast restaurant pub was under a quarter full. Shortly after being seated, it became clear that the table beside me had been given the wrong main course, providing a significant hit to the kitchens food costs.
My own meal was then delivered, with the wrong main course...
I did get what I'd ordered, it was fine but not fantastic - a common problem with Press Up menus - and a tad dear. But the margin for my visit would have been reduced; and with a giant, mostly empty dining room to light and heat, they would need a very big margin to keep going.
I also don't think "doolally" is a good name for a pub, but there's plenty of premises I'd suggest get renamed if anyone would listen, and I'm not sure this would be even in the top ten!
