We've been to the Palmerston about five times and been very happy on every occasion, the menu is always interesting, the last time I had a wonderful confit lamb with mash and veg followed by cheese, my wife had a main and a dessert and we both had a glass of wine and some water and coffee. I don't remember how much we paid but I certainly don't think it was over priced. I can understand you being unhappy with the crab, but why didn't you tell them at the time, they probably would have plated you another with the dressing on the side.
