July 20, 2019This was not our first visit to Basil Spice. It was a busy night with a large party for a 40th birthday. The restaurant was decorated with awesome ballons supplied... read more by owners wife. There were a few tables on the perimeter for those not part of the 40th celebrations.
Our order was taken promptly but we were not rushed. Service was good with all waiting staff and the owner being attentive to our needs. We were offered our starters at the same time as our main course which we declined - an odd request I thought!
So we had our starters and then there was a reasonable gap before our mains arrived. The food was good and well presented. We both had drinks too.
When the bill came I was disappointed to see that the beer I was drinking shown as £4.95 for a pint on the menu had actually been charged at £5.50 a pint. I did point this out and was told that the prices had gone up but the menu's had not been updated. I was unable to check the price of the food as we only had the drinks menu at the table. I was left wondering with a large party of revellers had the drink prices been put up for the night? It was a disappointing end to an otherwise enjoyable experience. Will we go back? Maybe but we will keep an eye on the prices. And £5.50 for a pint in a local retaurant seems a bit steep to me. Oh well!!Steve H
