Ms K: "

Very smooth, an almost sweetish taste. Surprisingly refreshing - Would order again

."
Mr P: "Went down without touching the sides. Re-freshing taste. Would order again"

Meals:
The Bargemen's Triple Delight - 12 oz Beef Burger with cheese, pineapple, bacon - 9.95
Plain Beef Burger - 8oz Beef Burger with added cheese and bacon - 9.00

Both Burgers were served in a bap with mixed leaves and chunky chips. The presentation was perfect, the amount of food on the plate plentiful but the taste of the beef burgers itself was not all that great, bland.
It may be down to personal taste but both Ms K and Mr P would have prefered the taste of a flame grilled Whopper...
