THE OLD MARKET ASSEMBLY

The Old Market Assembly is the kind of quirky place that feels like it’s trying to be hipster cool but ends up just being a bit chaotic. It’s like your artsy friend who throws a party and forgets half the stuff you need. The staff seem genuinely nice, and they’re really trying hard to make your experience pleasant, but there’s a vibe of ‘we’re still figuring this out’—especially when the roast potatoes flop in comparison to mom’s Sunday best.

Sure, the pizzas are a hit, but you might end up questioning if you’d rather just have a classic slice from your local takeaway instead. It’s decent enough for a casual meal, especially if you're in the area, but don't go expecting a Michelin star or anything crazy. If you enjoy the thrill of an unpredictable meal, give it a whirl; otherwise, you might want to steer clear until they get their act together.
