| - After dropping off family on the strip after a day out, we were quite peckish and stopped in on a Sunday evening. We've heard of the place and wanted to give it a try since it moved to Charleston Blvd. It wasn't very crowded and we were seated right away, in these amazing pews salvaged from a church in Philly. Right off the bat, I found 3 or four pasty's I wanted to try, the first being the Peppered Steak. Sadly, our server for the night, Sean, came right off and gave us a list of 4 of the sold out pasty's, that being one of them. He said first Friday weekend wiped them out ( excellent! ) I opted for The Guinness Stew Pasty. My husband chose the Full English Breakfast Pasty and a pot of tea. I had the German Pilsner from Japan - a suggestion again from Sean. I am a Stella drinker and he said I would like this one, and again, I did! I was not bothered by the wait, I know that these pasty's need to be in the oven for a certain amount of time and I understand the process.We were able to enjoy the care put into the restaurant decor, subtle industrial / public house. The smells coming from the open kitchen area were amazing. Patience is a virtue. When we finally got our meals, the wait was worth it. I mean really, what is 10 to 15 minutes out of your life, especially when you are spending it with family and friends? The tastes of the stew were spectacular. The meats were tender the veg inside melded perfectly. The Full English actually had an egg that oozed yoke.. I have no idea how they did it. The chips with garlic were enough to split and we also shared a sticky toffee pudding with a delicious bowl of vanilla ice cream.. that sucker is HOT when it is delivered to your table.. so give it a minute love..the roof of your mouth will thank you. We are delighted to say we cant wait to go back! They not only have a full bar, they have a pool table and darts!
And THANK YOU for calling it just a CAR BOMB. No need to be rude and call it something else!
