Re: White swan fence
For what you're getting, that's a really good price. Wreckfish was about £80 for two of us but on a set menu and not enough for me I tend to lunch more than anything else. Wreckfish is a 3 for £20 ish I think (similar to hispi and sticky walnut). There’s a big jump up in the evenings in fairness. J...

Re: MC city centre where to drink/meet Sat ..?
For a nice leisurely bite and a decent beer try the Mackie mayor. 20-25 minute stroll to the ground as it’s the right side of town.
Bit pricey but there won’t be any idiots in there.

Great place if you get the chance to visit, and on the doorstep.
Can’t think of many places serving food of that quality that doesn’t break the bank. Hopefully they don’t move the price up too much from the 3 course for under £30.
