Went to Neighbourhood on Castle Street last night for dinner as one of the girls Jess on my team in work was leaving.
Chicken satay skewers
Breaded turkey stripes with broccolini, biscuit, honey butter, spicy sausage gravy
Rosh got the NBHD burger served with fries, beef, emmental, special sauce, salad, gherkin
Soft serve ice cream
We had a table booked for 4:15pm, we were a table of 14 all eating and there was one other table when we went in. We all got the £18 3 course meal apart from Rosh who just ordered a main when we got there from the bar.
The service was awful and so was the food. The staff were rude and just not attentive even though there was no one there. It wasn't like they were rushed off their feet, they just all looked miserable in there which I'm not surprised as I wouldn't want to work there.
Rosh just got a burger which she ordered at the bar and they put a £2 service charge on it with her drink. They were bringing the drinks over then the waitress just brought out a pair of chopsticks and soy sauce as Karen was having sushi so Rachel thought she forgot about the rest of the drinks and reminded the woman and she was so snotty to her. They were doing 2 for 1 drinks but only a very selective few to choose from. Chloe got a cocktail with a lid in it. The bottles for the tap water were filthy. When the food came Rachel asked for mayonnaise and the waitress just rolled her eyes at her - she should have offered sauces you shouldn't have to ask for it never mind get an eye roll!
Karen got the steak which she had to pay an extra £5 for then had to pay £4 for a side of chips. Why would you get just a steak on its own with no sides? The chips didn't even come out with the steak, they brought them out like 10 minutes later when Karen had pretty much finished her steak.
I changed my side of chips for broccolini. The turkey strips weren't even nice they had no taste to them and I would have been better off going to KFC. Anne got the same as mine but her turkey strips were so burnt we sent them back and it did come back a lot better.
Rosh couldn't even eat her food as she said it's the worst thing she's ever eaten. There was no taste, was cold and she wasn't expecting the burger to be black. It doesn't mention anywhere on the menu that it would be black so that was definitely off putting and a bit of a shock.
The best bit was the ice cream. The ice cream was actually really nice - a bit too much popping candy but I'd have that over any of the food. The place is just very pretentious for wannabe Instagram models. The interior isn't even nice and there was no locks on any of the toilets. There was no toilet seat in one of the cubicles and the toilets were filthy.
Definitely would not recommend or go there again. The drinks and food are over priced and they put a £37 service charge which we got took off. The staff don't deserve a tip for the "service." Don't think I've ever been anywhere as bad as that. I got a sore throat later on in the night and this morning after eating the food.
We went to Wetherspoons after - would have got better food in there and saved money on both food and drink!
Hope you had a good night Jess even if the restaurant was rubbish.
