Dock Gate 4

We have used this place a few times now mostly for a drink or two, and mostly as they used to do 1/2 price on all drinks, from the top of the line Champagne to their soft drinks, which is very unusual, we often order the Gavi di Gavi, here, after all 1/2 price. But this has been stopped, i think it is now 1/4 off the price not as good but still a fantastic, selection of drinks, and the building is wonderful, almost has the feeling of being on a cruse ship the lines and shapes are very good, last time we were there i ordered the chicken fillet burger, which was still moist and very much your basic burger and bun, Richard went for the fish and chips with peas, good batter, crispy on the out side, and very good fish inside, the peas i would say were slightly over done in the microwave, but both were fine from the bar menu.

I have to say that the bar in here is very much a drinking bar, and although a little bit away from the eating area, it seems that the drinkers are slightly older, and i must say that once it starts to fill up, can become loud not the place to go for a romantic dinner or somewhere you would want to relax, i have once been in to the club that is under this restaurant, and well i have to say it really did reminde me of a meat market for the middle aged, the thing is it seemed was the guys were looking for younger woman, while the woman were looking for any guy that would get them a drink, but like i said i have only been in here once so it may have just been that night.
