Geales (2 Farmer Street, London, W8 7SN) The food was OK. However, it was service / the staff that contributes to the low score. The staff felt it necessary to continuously chat between themselves at maximum volume so that the customers are forced to hear every single word of their conversations (which are mostly complaints and comments about other staff and customers!). As you don't get any side dishes with the meals, we ordered a second portion of chips. This arrived after the waiter had taken away our plates when we were done with our meals. When I remarked that it would be nice if the chips would have arrived while we were still having our meals, the girl who served us said rather sarcastically “that it takes some time to cook them”. To make matters worst, she walked over to her colleague and started chatting about how she had told me off (at maximum volume, so that the entire restaurant could hear this). If you like rude, uninterested staff and being insulted, then this is your place. One to avoid.
