9 months pregnant, starving and desperate for a taste of home at 9pm on a Saturday night, hubby and I decided to give Union Jacks a try - mainly because they were advertising a roast dinner which was all baby wanted! Really we should've been a little wary, every other restaurant in the square was heaving, Union Jacks had about 6-8 customers outside. Again. Pregnant, hungry, late at night, just wanted food.

Really we should've been a little wary, every other restaurant in the square was heaving, Union Jacks had about 6-8 customers outside. Again. Pregnant, hungry, late at night, just wanted food.
The lady that served us was very polite and professional, however she seemed to be the only member of staff that spoke English.
Hubby and I both ordered the roast beef dinner, which was advertised as US prime beef, yorkshire pudding and roast veg with soup or salad for starters. For the price of $250+ each we were expecting a lot.
I ordered a 7up which arrived in a very small glass, the kind you would put a vodka in. When we tried to check with the staff that they had only served me 7up, and not vodka and 7up, it took us asking 3 members of staff before anyone was either able to understand us or give us a yes or no answer. The lady that had seated us and taken our order (the only one that seemed to speak English) explained that they only served soft drinks in small glasses (quite shocking for the price!$35 for about half a can of 7up) however, she gave me a second glass free of charge.
When our food arrived, our meat was cooked to our order and was a good size, but it really needed a lot of seasoning.The biggest let down was the veg. One very very small potato and 2 slices of courgette with 3-4 stalks of asparagus thrown on top.
Bill came to $850 +. Really not worth it for the price, won't be a repeat customer.
