  It took me a while to get there but i eventually made it to SpitFire to try out their food. I was long overdue so my excitement and expectations had been growing over the month. I follow them on Twitter and got to see alot of lovely looking meant. I went along after crossfit so we were hungry for some tasty protein. We both ordered the Short Rib that comes with corn. greens and sweet potatoe fries. I asked for normal fries as im not a big fan of sweet potatoe ones.Our order arrived but both had sweet potatoe fries. The waitress said she would send up a portion of normal fries. These took ages to come and I was halfway through my meal before they were pop on the table. The rib meal looked good but once we tried to tuck into out rib we found it near impossible to find any eatable meat on it. Both our ribs were ladened with grizzle. We tried picking them up and just gnawing on them and also using a knife but to not much success. I was luckier than my friend and i manager to fine some meat to eat. The meat was lacking. It was spicy but I got the impression that was the external rub because the meat underneath was bland.The corn again was lacking. Salt was much needed, as it with the greens. The normal fries were nice.I ordered desseret Chocolate and peanut butter whoopie pie salted caramel milkshake.I’m a sucker for anything with the words salted caramel. This was another massive disappointment. The whoopie pie biscuits weren’t chocolatey and the peanut butter was not peanut butter is was some white impostor that tasted like peanut butter but was a strange consistency and appearance. The salted caramel milkshake was over ice and had a grainy texture. Nice flavour though.The waitress was nice enough to organise no charge for one meal since we had struggled to eat the ribs. I was so disappointed that Spitfire didnt live up to my meat dreams. I might go back and try there chicken and see if that is better. thehobson.co.uk

  The decor was lovely. Made a great impression when we came in. We then ordered, the lemonade was lovely and refreshing. They had a very good light beer for a driver to drink. But that’s when it all ended. Waited 45 minuets for a lunch which was two baked potatoes and a sandwich. We actually would of left if we weren’t starving and hopeful. I ordered a pig Cheek sandwich…. I got a BLT!!! It wasn’t pig cheek it was bacon. Massive disappointment. My wife and mum had a chicken and spicy tomatoes baked potato. For being a spit roast place you would hope the baked potato were baked and great but nope nothing special. And it was very dry… Asking for Mayo to add flavour and a sauce. Bill coming too 25 and we’ll just felt it really wasn’t worth it at all… Seems they should of spent the money on the chef and the food instead of the decor… Would consider going back for a beer but not for food.

  I finally made it to SPIT/FIRE last night and I was not disappointed. Great beers in a beautifully decorated and cosy bar. We grabbed some of the sofas, a nice table and enjoyed a lovely night out. I also checked out their upper floor, where food is served, although we did not eat there. I guess it’s time to go back… just in case the lovely kiwi beers were not enough reason. madaboutravel.com
