Today, my friend Tim suggested we went to the Cambria (http://www.thecambrialondon.com/) again, who were running an afternoon cabaret/burlesque event at the same time as serving Sunday lunch, so, to be a bit different, we went there. We sat in the upstairs room, and I ordered the nut roast. When it came, it was shockingly bad. The actual nut roast appeared to have been left sitting on a hotplate, or to have been overcooked, and I simply couldn't cut it, or chew it, when I did manage to get some of it in my mouth. With it, there came a square of something flat and floppy, which I think was supposed to be a yorkshire pudding, but it had not risen at all! On the same plate, were some cold roast carrots and parsnips, indifferent roasties, and vinegary red cabbage. Oh, and some gravy. That was it. No fresh, green vegetables at all.
I didn't eat it, and we were not charged for it.
It was good to have table service, although it was erratic at best, with several people asking us for our orders one minute, and then no-one for ages, and them clearly forgetting our requests completely three times!
The show was unexpectedly great fun! Hosted by Mzzz Kimberley, the show is described on their website as being in a "polysexual and glamourous enviroment" (their typo) and, despite never having seen the word "polysexual" before, I think it is possibly an accurate word to use :)
