We suggest you read this first:
And then read our review of the review
Hi
Caroline Cook, thanks for sharing your review of food at the pub -
Revolution with us.
This
IS a RESTAURANT review isn't it?
So,
you leave work at 5 with the sun shining, go to a pub and order a
“glass of wine”. Caroline, what wine did you have? Was it any
good? Was it kept well? Was it from a bottle or one of those
anonymous 'hose' devices pubs have for serving (seemingly)
watered/tasteless/nondescript drinks?
So,
into the menu and the interesting bit – oh how lovely – 15 new
“dishes for the season” but oh Caroline you forgot to tell us
what the new dishes are – how can we be enticed if we can't imagine
the food in front of us on a plate? We can't sniff the air and catch
a whisp of the flavours you yourself tasted on our behalf.
Nachos
are actually Mexican and not Italian. Tortillas (again, Mexican) are
either omelettes or a flat bread of maize or wheat flour – we can
only presume you had either maize or wheat flour.
Mezze
is a Mediterranean dish originating from the Turkish/Ottoman empire.
Hang on – do they prepare all this on the premises? We bet they
don't and there is a bank of microwaves out the back somewhere or a
steady convoy of delivery scooters bustling to and from Revolutions
back passage. We can only assume this as there is no evidence to the
contrary.
Come
on Caroline is this a review or a description of an evening out 'on
the company' with a mate?
The
only enticing aspect to this review is Carolines all to brief
encounter with the unlikely 'Bakewell Tart flavoured Vodka'. In fact
no, not even that – we shall never enter “Revolution” looking
for food.
Thanks from WRFW (West Reading Food Writers) wrfw.blogspot.com
