Madison's — Restaurant in England

Madisons Gelateria This place is located on London road, one of the main places to visit if you're around here. After a successful meal, there was only space in my heart/stomach for some good dessert. I opened up google, asked what dessert places were open so late at night and this was the closest link that appeared. A few minutes of stalking their Instagram later, I knew this was worth a try.

The place is huge, I counted at least 3 floors. 3 floors for a dessert place! Madness. There is plenty of seating and the decor is amazing with lovely quotes/facts on the walls to keep you busy until the dessert arrives. The menu had an extensive range of desserts but here are the ones that were chosen. Molten chocolate volcano: A scrumptious chocolate volcano cake with an eruption of chocolate sauce served with a scoop of Madagascan vanilla gelato. Caramel pud: A warm moist pudding, smothered with rich sticky toffee sauce. Served with Madagascan vanilla ice cream. Caramel brownie cheesecake: no need for a description, I didn't like it.

The ice cream was disappointing, frozen but overall wasn't too bad. Warm volcano and caramel pud was perfect after walking in the cold for 2 miles to find this place. Reasonably priced in a warm relaxing atmosphere. Worth a visit if close by but don't make too much of an effort to get here because there are better...

Madison's have a nice selection of desserts (albeit a few are relatively pricey for the size you're actually getting).

The physical menu's need CHANGING because they are filthy and falling apart. They are sticky and this is just so unhygenic. You are serving food, and yet you have dirty menus. Do you want customers to fall ill?

We placed an order at the counter with a rather introverted waiter who took an excessively long time to bring over two milkshakes. I couldn't even hear what he was saying. At least try to be enthusiastic towards your customers.

The milkshakes however were lovely. Nice music, good ambience. Decor was rustic which compliments the establishment really well.

What’s the world come to? Where appearances matter more than substance. At this place the presentation & the professionalism is a veil for average desserts & other items. My cheesecake was drier than skeletal bones, as was the pizza slice, which looked colourful but was doughy. It’s like putting Burnley in a Brazil kit, thinking people will suddenly believe Matthew John Lowton is Marcos Evangelista de Morais aka Cafu.

The temperature of my tea was cautious, like how you warm milk for a baby. It’s tea for an adult. Make it bloody hot, so that when you stupidly fully grip the cuppa, you burn your hand. But No! Health and Safety for effeminates is the...
