The Duke of York, Victoria

looked friendly from the outside.
we were seated very quickly, but had to ask for drinks. Staff took ages to come and take food order (40 mins). When food finally came out it was stone cold. Staff took the food back, bought it back out to me 15 mins later. By which time my mate had already finished her food. I was advised that the meal was a fresh meal though when I investigated under the chips it was the exact same meal i had sent back and it had been microwaved. While sitting waiting to be served I noticed at least 50% of meals were being taken back into the kitchen. We were offered tea/coffee 'on the house'. a small token but not enough to either make me recommend or re-visit this pub. If it weren't for the fact that they are next to 2 theatres and 95% of food trade is passing trade they would not have enough trade to warrant needing a restaurant. Absolutely awful!!!
