Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen

I purchased a voucher for 2 course meal with wine. I telephoned the venue on Wednesday and was told I needed to send a email (instructions not printed on the voucher). I was then emailed a menu and booking form (spreadsheet). I had to complete the spreadsheet giving name, email address and was ask to make my choice of starter and main. I was the most peculiar restaurant booking I have ever made. Myself and my daughter arrived just after 5pm this evening i.e. 12 Nov 2011(booking was for 5pm) and was asked by a member of staff whether it was 5pm already. We were told the voucher included wine. I asked for a glass of red a a soft drink for my daughter. We were not asked what soft drink she would like. A member of staff arrived with a glass of white wine and what we think may have been a tropical fruit drink. My white wine was replaced without a fuss with a glass of red. The wine was served in large wine glasses filled to a quarter of the glass, it so little wine was on offer it would have made sense to serve in small wine glasses. After 15-20 minutes a member of staff called out to us from the kitchen "has anyone taken your order". I called back we were told to email our order before we came. 35 minutes after entering the restaurant we has our starters. I had chicken wings, a mix of pepper and herbs coating and barbecued and my daughter barbecued ribs both with a small bowl of chopped salad. We both enjoyed the starter although the barbecue sauce was salty. We waited another 40 minutes for our mains because the rice and peas was not ready for my meal of jerk pork. My daughter had chicken tostadas. I was offered an alternative to the rice and peas of crispy yam cakes which I agreed to reluctantly. When my meal arrived 2 out of the 3 yam cakes had no yam filling. The pork was tough and tasteless. My replacement meal of curried mutton was only a slight improvement with chewy pieces of mutton with some tinny tender pieces, portion size for coleslaw was meagre.
