The food is atrocious. That is all. Everything else is fine. They do asahi on pump which is great. The manager was very good at dealing with the issues. The cooks on the other hand... Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
My medium rare steak was past well done. Peas were still cold. Staff was very kind and offered to replace the food immediately but I didnt have the time. Chef needs replacing. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Ordered doritos chilli jacket potato, came with a teaspoon amount of sauce with a few kidney beans, little bit of cheese and a sprinkle of spring onions...looked like a plain jacket to be honest. The jacket was not cooked, Rock hard on one half and nearly soft on the other, it had butter on it but tasted just plain. Definitely had been microwaved, which I don't mind if fully cooked. My partner had sausage and mash, was very dry. Sausages appeared to have been microwaved. The mash was packet mash and rather chewy. The gravy didn't even make it seem wet, just like a very thick chewy consistency throughout. My son had burger and waffle fries (asked for no lettuce as my son has autism and is an extremely selective eater) his food came with lettuce on his plate, I quickly dashed it off but assumed it had been pulled off his burger as was only a small amount. Unfortunately he saw this so didn't touch the burger, which if I'm honest I wish I had ordered as his kids meal had more food than my adult meal. The waffle fries were nice also. He ate his garlic bread so can only assume that was nice, basic garlic bread slices. The pudding that came with the kids meal however was a huge let down too. Perfect amount for a child but the brownie was inedible, couldn't get a spoon through it. It was cremated and the ice cream had large lumps of ice in it. For the price, 30 pound it was definitely not worth it. I can go to witherspoon and pay half the price for at least edible food. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
