Column Restaurant - Brassall

Average food. Ordered the Hiramasa kingfish, it was obviously frozen beforehand, as I could still taste and feel the ice on it. It was also dry from being frozen. The martini tasted like it was made by some apprentice who had no idea how to actually make one. Kangaroo and cous cous main wasn't too bad, but definitely not worth going back for. I'm never going back here again.

Whilst the service was good, the food was not. The menu was diverse enough, however on a Friday night, with only 11 diners (9 at our table) we were informed there were a number of items which were not available. The meat on the dishes came out nicely cooked, however it was the vegetables which accompanied the mains which were a real let down. They did not match what was described on the menu, and if I pay premium price for a steak, I do not expect the rest of the plate to be filled with fries and stodgy mash.
