- Pizza crunch!
Generally, I love Mono. When I time it right for the specials board (which I always check before ordering) for something that isn't soup they can have some amazing stews/kebabs/burritos on offer. I love their chips, their pizza crunch (deep fried pizza in batter - it's a Scottish thing and amazing) and their Oreo cheesecake was fabulous - until they stopped making them. :( The buffalo cauliflower pizza is a must, though the tempeh burrito was a bit underwhelming as I couldn't really taste the tempeh. Mac and cheese and garlic bread is delicious though last time I was in the macaroni was really boiling and burnt my mouth. Often they have cake/doughnuts/croissants/scones on the bar and I always check for those as well shortly after arriving. Every week or two they'll close their kitchen early if they have an event on so I would highly recommend checking their facebook and/or twitter page that day, and their events list on the website if booking ahead. They can be very busy, especially on a weeknight or Saturday afternoon, so I would also advise booking at peak times. Dogs are allowed on the bottom level of the venue. When large groups are in (I'd say about 12+) it can take a bit longer to get your food while they're cooking food for the large table. Service can be a bit hit and miss at the best of times, so if you go at busy times expect a bit of a wait. I tend to go up to the bar to pay as I can't be bothered waiting for the bill - here or anywhere - so if you're waiting more than 5 minutes for someone to come by don't sit there for 20 minutes then complain about it, especially if the staff are obviously rushed off their feet. Sometimes my order has been wrong, and it makes me nervous when I get a staff member who doesn't bring a notepad and writes things down. They don't do takeaways.
