    A couple of points to take note from. Firstly, if you only have three vegetarian options, you make sure you don't run out of one of the main ingredients for one of them, Secondly, it can't be called a small plates/tapas if you only have 6 things in that section, Thirdly, why would you allow a dog into the restaurant section, and, finally, the music needs to be changed from the relentless thud whilst people are paying to eat.

    Came to common originally on a groupon, and couldnt wait to come back. After a ay at the shops and a few drinks elsewhere id booked a table for 8pm, i was surprised at how quiet it was, as NQ was packed on a buy saturday nght , we were seated straight away and our order taken quickly too, we were a little cold so told the server who was happy to turn off the air con. The food was again delicious, the chili fries are a meal in themselves, and when we couldnt finish our food we asked to take it home, we were handed two food parcels in the shape of swans :). Again we ha a lovely evening at common where you are not rushed and the atmosphere is relaxed, i have also been here for the coffee and cake offer before and the doughnuts are also to die for, on this occasion i was too full for a pudding.

    My wife and I had a living social voucher which we used on Saturday 5th September Our starters were fine but mine could have been a little hotter. My main was Falafel Salad and this dish failed in so many ways. it was served on a small plate and comprised 4 pieces of Falafel which I enjoyed, but the salad was 90% leaf with a few small slices of cherry tomatoes and a few slices of radish, there were a small scattering of chick pea and a small amount of a savoury white sauce. It would have been better served in a large bowl with larger chunks of tomatoes, cucumber and salad onion and less leaf. This was listed under "Large Plate" and cost almost £6
