The Townhouse Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Absolutely and by far the worst food and service I’ve ever had in my life, We waited 10 mins to be seated in a virtually empty restaurant ? Then another 20 mins before our smirking waiter bothered to come over for our drinks order, and this was only after my wife had to go to the hotel reception to find the waiter who was sitting chatting to another employee.

Was expecting loaded skins for this price. No. Five slivers of skins. I hope this place gets in touch as we were too embarrassed to complain...
