The Canalside Cafe, Birmingham

Nice location by the canal and really nice inside too. A fine selection of ales and bottled beers, although we weren't convinced the cask ales were kept very well. The food is cheap and awful and I certainly wouldn't recomment it. I had sausage and mash; the sausages appeared to be cheap and deep fried, the mash hadn't been seasoned and was stone cold! - all in all not very pleasent. The mind boggles when I try to understand how such a simple, tasty dish can be done SO badly - clearly they don't care very much. The girl behind the bar wasn't very friendly either....
