Went here for a couple of salad boxes, quiche and takeaway teas a couple of days ago. The quiche and salad boxes were delicious. The tea wasn’t great - it was too milky and the cup was so hot you couldn’t hold it!

Anyway, the salad boxes were so good, we decided to go back the next day and ordered 4 more. However this time we got far less in them - no olives, avocado and generally less salad. It was really disappointing as they’re not cheap at $10 each. What made it worse was that they said they’d run out of wooden takeaway knives so we had to eat it with just a...
