Le Signore Snack Bar

For a snack bar, the food was really good!

Does anyone know the opening hours M-​F and S&S?

Ensconced in a little side street to the side of Buck House is Le Signore.
Would that I could tell you that this little haven of decency and good food were not worth a spit but that would be churlish of me and only ensure that I get one of the savagely sought after tables at my pleasure.
Tina, our resident flirtatious stand-​up, welcomes you with a caustic and scathing wit worthy of her Puglian roots. But make an order and the joking stops. You will be served up an epicurean delight that puts Jamie Oliver’s Italianesque cooking right back in the Essex box it should never have crawled out of.
You may enter thinking Oh today I’ll have a little omelette with a side salad — watching the waist line don’t you know but you won’t have counted on our Tina having cooked one of her special specials.
today we have spare ribs with passata and spaghetti
You make to protest but find the words stick in your craw.
Ah go on then
The Puglian minx has tempted you in again and you find yourself chomping on a pork rib with tomato sauce dribbling down your chin. There is something of the nursery in the atmosphere, Sigmund would have a field day here.
However, when all is said and done and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of it all I’ll tell them the thing I remember most about Le Signore is the incredible food.
Let’s hope Lizze in the Palace doesn’t get wind of the place — although I guess she’ll send over for take away.

Second to none! I found this place by happy chance a couple of years ago and I’m so glad I did.
For a start, the food is wonderful — their lasagne is head and shoulders above any I’ve ever tasted anywhere — and I’m very fond of lasagne. Their meat balls must be experienced to be believed. There is a fantastic variety of delicious food on offer, especially considering how small their premises.
My wife is vegetarian and has nothing but praise for the various veggie delicacies she has tried there.
Amongst the staggering selection of sweets, is a Portuguese wonder called pastel de nate (I probably spelled that wrong) to which I have become addicted.
The service is very friendly, the atmosphere excellent. I have come away from there before now with my sides aching from laughter at the banter of the cabbies who frequent the place.
I am only sorry I live sixty miles away and can’t visit more often.
Give yourself a treat and go there without delay. It won’t even cost you much — their prices are spectacularly reasonable and the portions generous.
I would give it six stars if I could.

Everyone in the office loves this place, and I’m sure they have good reason.
However, the one and only time I went there, my roll was rock hard. Literally. I threw it on the counter and it made a hollow thud.
One of the staff are friendly, and one not so much. But the prices are good, and if you go there and get something you like, that’s excellent!
But if you get a rock hard roll, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Also — they load up on the butter, so if that’s not to your taste ask them not to put too much on.
Sorry Snack Bar, only 2 stars from me today.
