Woohoo! (it is nicer up there). We are going to give it another go... and see what happens. We will keep you posted but for now, Pizza Express have redeemed themselves...

We went in there once - just three of us - but they were full. We left our mobile number for them to call us when a table became free but they were so rude in their manner of telling us they were full, grouchily taking our number down and not being able to give us an estimated time for getting a table, that we just ignored them when they finally called over an hour later - we had long since found a far friendlier place to eat by then!
