The Bramble Bar & Kitchen

Went here on a Friday night. They stay open and serve food til late which is super convenient if you’re travelling. We had pizza, including a gluten free pizza which was good. Good atmosphere, and there are some TVs too to watch sport.

Went in with 2 hours before we had to head to the airport. We wanted pizza and were told the dough comes at 4 (arrived at 3), and were assured if we had an appetizer and a drink then they could make us them at 4. I was sure to ask this and tell them about our time limit, and they assured me it would be okay, so we got an app and a drink while we waited. At 4:27 our server comes up and says the dough has not come yet and to order something else. We have no time for anywhere else otherwise we would have left. We order a gluten free pasta and a pork as we are assured it will come fast. The server says ‘for you no up charge’ for gluten free (they end up charging me 2 euros). 20 minutes later we say we must leave and they say no the food is ready now. They bring it and the pork is undercooked and inedible so we send it back and take the pasta to go. They bring the bill with the pork still on it and says the chef will not take it off. I go to talk to the chef that the server told us we would have pizza and misinformed us and that’s the only reason we ordered the pork. He winks at me and says don’t worry about it… it’s basic service to not charge me for something I could not eat. It was an extremely patronizing encounter as two young women being treated like they were doing something special for us when they gave us horrific service and failed to do what they promised. Do not go here if you don’t have many hours and a flexible interest in the menu, or are a woman who appreciates being respected.
