I met up with Caro, her former house-mate Sasha and Nate’s sister Jules for a bite to eat at PJ’s Bar and Grill tonight. Our first choice, Frankie’s, was unfortunately booked out with Christmas parties and what not. Sadly this second choice failed to live up to the initial expectations.

Upon first impressions the bar is very nice. Warmly decorated (gorgeous wooden floors and stained glass windows) the bar has a nice buzz to it. Service was very good including ensuring our plates were never empty of bread whilst we decided on our meals and also whilst Caro and I waited for the other girls. Then it kind of went downhill from there in terms of our food.

The food started off okay with the calamari starter that Caro ordered being of a generous portion and good taste. However, our mains and the small dish that Sasha ordered were simply awful. Caro’s mussels were grossly overcooked, at £10 for four measly spring rolls Sasha’s dish was waaay overpriced and my lobster linguini was awful and oversalted.

Based on what we had PJ’s Bar and Grill is really let down by its food. However if you’re happy to stick with chips (french fries) and calamari you are guaranteed a pleasant experience at least.
