I spent all of Saturday digging dirt and transporting it into my backyard with a wheelbarrow. So, at the end of the day when it was time to head to a birthday dinner at the Robin Hood, you could say I was hungry. I was also expecting the worst. Let down so many times before by the pub staple, I hardly expected to find much better fare here, but I did.
I had just tucked in to a ice cold pint, when the unassuming Chicken Parmi found its way to my table (remember what i've said previously about unassuming schnitzels).
Lets get to the point. It tasted sublime. The sauce was well-cooked, tasty and not burnt, and the chicken was succulent, but not to the point wear the juices were still coming out of it. Wonderful.
The cheese was melted perfectly, toasted a little on top and the salad held a good proportion of mixed veggies. And the chips, oh the chips! They topped off the dish and filled me up too.
The birthday was great, and not just because of the food, but the food just elevated the occasion from fun to memorable. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed.
The surroundings are also very casual and well-placed, allowing atmosphere to permeate, and encourage interaction (we caught up with several old friends just by making eye contact across the bistro). A great summer pub.
