I have been to gourmet on ashford twice. The first occasion I got rissole roll, and roast pork roll, with gravy. Both were absolutely lovely. So I decided on a follow up visit, a few weeks later. The second occasion I ordered a grilled chicken roll with added cheese, and a roast beef roll with gravy. I took them to the park across the road, to enjoy whilst my dog had a runaround. These were terrible. Lets say the dog had most of the gourmet lunch. The grilled chicken was cold, I thought they would cook it to order, thus why I ordered cheese, I wanted it melted on top. It was a cold chicken and salad roll, not to my liking at all. And the beef roll was half full of fat, tough and chewy, dry as cooked to a well done, looked like a bolar blade roast beef. GET A TOPSIDE BEEF ROAST, if you are going to do a beef roast. Trust me, you cant go wrong, It will turn out much better. Will give them another visit, to try their hamburgers/burgers, steak sandwiches, that way I can try something...

You are a service-minded legend...

The jokes are already worth popping in, let alone the great...
