点评:Hans Christian Andersen once wrote an intelligent fable about a King who insisted he was wearing a glamorous gown but in fact he was wearing no clothes at all. However his subjects couldn't bear to offend him so played along. So it is the case with this eatery. It's in a wine bar and run as a "pop up" by a well known local butchers. Everyone told us how wonderful it was and true enough when we arrived, the place was heaving with the well heeled of upmarket Duffield presumably extolling it's virtues and about to indulge. However in reality you pay between £17.50 and £27.50 for a small paper pot containing ( admittedly decent quality ) steak, chips out of a frozen packet, a sprinkling of peppercorn sauce and if they haven't run out, some garlic mushrooms ( at an extra cost ) , that's it ! Oh and I forgot to mention, the menus gave a choice of 4 steak cuts but only one ( naturally the most expensive fillet ) was available even though we arrived fairly early ( having pre booked a table ) at 7.15pm. In addition although we were a party of 4, the tables were barely big enough for 2. The place was also so rowdy that we couldn't hear each other shout let alone speak AND we waited nearly 1.5 hours to get our food ! Apart from all this - it's an absolute gem !!
翻译:汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生曾写过一则充满智慧的寓言,讲的是一位国王,他坚称自己穿着华丽的长袍,但实际上他一丝不挂。然而,他的臣民不忍冒犯他,便顺从了。这家餐厅也是如此。它位于一家酒吧内,由当地一家知名肉店“临时”经营。每个人都告诉我们它有多棒,果然,当我们到达时,这里挤满了来自达菲尔德高档餐厅的富豪,想必他们正在赞美它的优点,并准备大快朵颐。然而,实际上,你需要花费17.50到27.50英镑,才能买到一个小纸锅,里面装着(品质确实不错的)牛排、冷冻薯条、少许胡椒酱,如果还没吃完,再来点蒜蓉蘑菇(需额外付费),就这么简单!哦,我忘了说,菜单上提供了四种牛排选择,但即使我们提前预订了餐桌,晚上7点15分就到了,也只有一种(当然是最贵的菲力牛排)。此外,虽然我们一行四人,但桌子却勉强够坐两个人。餐厅里也非常吵闹,我们根本听不到彼此的喊叫声,更别说说话了。而且,我们等了将近一个半小时才拿到餐点!除此之外,这里绝对是个宝地!
