My friend and i went to the silver darlings for lunch the other day and i must say it is one of the worst meals i've had in a long time.
For a start there was a poor selection on the menu, i ordered cod and parsley sauce. Now when i read cod and parsley sauce on a menu i expect it to be a fillet of cod with the parsley sauce on top, what did i get . . . . . . . two measly bits of cod done in batter!!
Once the cod arrived at the table the waiter then asked me if i wanted parsley sauce - doh! isn't that what i ordered, i got the sauce about 5 minutes later by which time the rest of the food on my plate had cooled down :~(
As for the sauce it tasted like the colmans stuff you get in a packet, the veg looked like it'd been reheated more than once and the tatties were pretty scabby too.
Was a right disappointment compared to what the food used to be like - the smoked fish with prawns in a creamy sauce used to be magic. Least now i know why the place is always so empty when i pass.
Think i'll be trying the Smiddy Inn at Thrumster or the Portlands as i've heard really good reports about both these places recently.
