The Clipper Restaurant — Restaurant in England

It was ok there, my mum used to take me there when I was a kid about 24 years ago and it's not changed much - or at all haha.

The queue was long all for hot food while all the cold food counters are ignored. I think they need to think how to speed things up with the hot food and childrens food was a bit of an after thought.

The children's counter was too high up for my daughter to see what she wanted, could add some photos at children's eye level perhaps (?). The selection was poor and the juice carton we picked was missing a straw and the only sandwiches were grated cheese(!?), quite a lot of cheese for a child, and it all fell out of the sandwich which was also annoying as just want her to eat independently.

I ordered a small English Breakfast as it looked like a good deal on the menu, but yeah it was small :) and the sausages were not anything premium and was overall adequate, nothing special.

Not in a rush to go back but was nostalgic and feels more humble and relaxed than going to KFC or Subway, probably main reason...

I challenge anyone to find fault with this fabulous eaterie. From the moment you enter it is like stepping back in time. The food items are attractively displayed on an island and the selection and variety on offer is very impressive. Everything is squeaky clean. Hot food is served carvery style. This is an exceptionally well run establishment where the emphasis is on freshness and quality. The atmosphere is great and always full of customers! My Cheese and onion salad wrap was perfect. So well made. We also had salad from the salad bar and Lemon meringue pie. The lemon and ginger tea was lovely. Chairs are soft and very comfy. I glimpsed into the kitchen which was running like a well oiled machine. Even dogs are allowed - dog ice cream,...

Visited during the eat out 50% off. Meals were deep fried, tasteless, my son had the small veggie breakfast which was ridiculously small. My child had the kids nuggets and chips, deep fried in a couple of minutes, beans had been nuked clearly several times and inedible. I had cod and chips, peas dry and inedible. Also the fish had the skin on, so u had to scrape that off, but the batter was so thick also inedible. Having never been here before I thought ok, maybe that's what they give you. My daughter had an ice cream too, it was also inedible. At this point I complained and got another one. I don't know if the bad food was because it was nearing the end of their service period at 3pm or if this is normal? Needless to say I won't...
