Regrettably underwhelming.
Given the substantial price tag of £11 for breakfast and the positive reviews, I expected better.
The series of disappointments began when my order arrived, without the promised black pudding. Disheartened, I was compelled to go back inside and specifically request it. While the staff promptly brought out a piece of black pudding, they did not check whether any other elements were amiss.

Hence only 3 stars review,the young staff need to pay attention to...
