I'd order now - you might get your food. Alternatively I can recommend the tomato crisps they sell.

My annoyance has upped a notch when last night FB decided to tell me that I had received a direct message thing. The message was from the chef and had been sent early Sunday morning. It seemed to be accusing me of fibbing - "I am truly sorry but I was working last night and can confirm the...

Understood. It's a genuinely decent pub, evidenced by the fact we stayed there until midnight.

It wasn't indecisiveness - we were out for the evening and in no rush! Drinking and talking was taking priority over choosing food.

To be fair, from the way the chef chipped in on FB, I'm not sure she was aware that orders had been stopped ahead of 9, which makes it seem like a front of house decision. Crescent Road - it first re-opened as "Opening Soon" which was, supposedly, a private members' dining club. They've since...

They didn't say the kitchen closes at 9 though. As per my opening post, I asked something like "Are you still doing food?", or "Are you still serving food?" The barman looked up at the clock and said "Yes, until 9." At no point did he indicate that the kitchen was closing at 9 (and I know that...

And it was 16 minutes, not 5.

I'm sorry that's utter bollocks. At no point was I told that the kitchen closes at 9 (and indeed it didn't). I took the barman's "until 9" to mean food could be ordered until 9. If taking orders late on is such a problem for establishments and/or those working in kitchens, then it's really not...

A shitty move to order 2 (two) meals the best part of 20 minutes before I'd been told was the 'deadline'? Fair enough.

It was more like half an hour - about the time it took me to drink a pint of Aspall. We also weren't in any rush, neither of us were starving and when we went in we weren't sure what we were going to do for food, be it eat at The Egremont or go somewhere else. Finally, of course, we weren't...

The place was rammed, although I couldn't say how many people were eating as the more restaurant-y bit of the pub was the far end to where we were sitting, but I certainly could see some people eating. As it happened, the chef who was on last night joined in the FB conversation and said she was...

I deleted the post because it was just getting ridiculous, so I can't copy and paste some of the responses now but some were just bizarre, including a suggestion that I'd left it late to order on purpose to catch the pub out so I could complain (I didn't complain, I bought some crisps).

We went out to Worthing's excellent Egremont pub last night for drinks and something to eat. When I went to the bar for our first drinks, I asked either one of these (I can't remember my exact words): "Are you still doing food?", or "Are you still serving food?" The barman checked the clock...
