Not a recommendation but a complaint went to that ponto in town for brunch with daughter I ordered a coffee and it was over 3 quid for the tiniest cup of coffee I’ve ever seen It was like a kids tea party cup anyway I went in barista on Newland yesterday and they did the same Couldn’t get my finger in the hole, oo er, And two sips and gone while I waited fifteen minutes for my breaky!! They’re charging enough ffs I want a decent cup or mug of coffee
I find that in the type of la di da places Chazz is currently frequenting, the best thing to do is to fold your arms and gruffly answer 'English breakfast tea; mug' when asked what you would like to drink. As an aside, when saying espresso I always pronounce it expresso. It drives the wife nuts. Happy days.
A flate white is an espresso with milk so often will be done in different sizes depending on the cafe. A quick google image search shows that. My lad is the manager of Ponto in Hull, he said if you had asked you could have had a big cup of coffee, no drama.
Two weeks ago I tried to book a table for tomorrow night and couldn't get in (though I just rocked up last night and got a table no problem). After I couldn't get in there two weeks ago, I tried the Westwood and could only get a table for tomorrow night at 9,00pm, which is past my bedtime. There's so few good restaurants in the area, the better ones are always booked well in advance, Cerutti 2 is the same.
Santi's in Anlaby is really good every time I've been. The head waiter 'Ernesto' is a right greedy t*wat though. Desperate and borderline rude when it comes to tips. I always tip nicely but he genuinely asks for more and I don't like it.
