Went to The Old School House tonight for a Sunday roast with Sarah. We did go to Hafla Hafla but they said they had a large party coming in so didn't have a free table at the minute for 2. The Old School House was where we were going to go anyway. They had the Liverpool v Man Utd match on so it was busy and a bit loud when we got there. It was 4-0 then finished 7-0 so everyone was a might rowdy. The table they gave us was right next to a TV.
I've been here before for brunch last summer but not for lunch or dinner. As it was Sunday we went for the Sunday roast. It says they serve it until they run out so our back up was going to be a pizza as they do pizza and other bits too.
Sarah got the Veggie Nut Roast with all the trimmings - £17.50
I got the Pork Belly Roast with all the trimmings - £16.50
Roast pork belly, roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, roasted carrots and parsnip, sweet potato mash and 1 tender stem broccoli
I asked for my gravy separate as I only put gravy on the meat, Yorkshire pudding and potatoes. I don't put it on the veg. I don't want everything to taste the same!
It was massive and I'm so full after it - didn't even eat it all because there was that much.
The Yorkshire pudding wasn't great - it was dead dry and was burnt, over done. Pork belly wasn't crispy and was hard to cut with just a normal knife. They were stingy with just the one piece of broccoli. I think the roast we had in Leaf on Smithdown was better.
Might try the pizza and hope that's better than the one I had yesterday from Il Ristorante by Crust. As long as it's not dead salty and too thin so it goes all sloppy! Also our server was very strange. Other than the food it was nice to catch up as we don't really see each other. We see each other in the gym but don't train together like we used to. So we definitely need to catch up more often!
