Frankie & Benny's

This is the men's - quite a shock to the system when you first go inside...


Frankie & Benny's got my custom in recent days - and what an impressive set of toilets (men's and women's).
The men's are a riot of black and white (very this season, I gather, darling) and the tops of the walls are decorated with old newspaper cuttings.
In the women's, apparently (I didn't venture in, but had a spy) there is the option to learn a dash of Italian while you, err, do whatever women do.
The coffee (espresso) wasn't great though - bit stewed and bitter. Probably had it on boil for too long. Not strong enough, either and no water provided with it.
And while we'er on it, the £10.95 sharing platter was a real disappointment. The chicken wings were ok-ish, but the chikcen pieces were more frozen nugget appearance and taste. One of the reasons for going for the dish was the lure of the onion rings - and, sorry, they were very poor. Need improving. If you were a school report, you would get C+ (Could do better).
Atmosphere nice, kids' meals ok and bottomless kiddie drinks were well received by both young and old.

Hello Mr Bean, I won't ask what you were doing with a camera in the gents' at Tom & Jerry's - the name is an 'in' joke in the DW household . . . Tom & Jerry, Ben and Jerry (ice cream), Frankie & Benny. A sort of canine rhyming slang.
Talking of which, a colleague and I had a shock the other day when we had reason to look up the definition of the work 'berk'. Apparently, it derives from the rhyming slang 'Berkshire Hunt' - you can guess the rest!

Hi DW.
Tom and Jerry's - like it.
Thanks for your rhyming slang, too - I guess you have time to dream up all these rhymes when you are walking the country lanes of Suffolk with your poop-scoop in hand.

Hello Mr Bean. Love the loos. I've tagged you...this time for a meme about your middle name. Perhaps you could relate each letter of your middle name to a coffee experience?
