Was that Welcome Friends in Addiscombe? They're usually very good. (And several centuries less anglicised than it was under the previous owners* - although I think they had to review the menu they had originally planned after discovering that it wasn't what the locals actually wanted to order.)

* Under the previous owners, the starters included prawn cocktail. This caused some confusion to a chap who came in after the change of ownership, and didn't realise there was a new menu.
