My experience at this restaurant for breakfast today left me feeling truly disheartened. From the start, it was evident that the establishment had some serious issues. The plates provided were visibly dirty, and the one I eventually received left my hands greasy, which is far from the level of cleanliness one would expect.

To make matters worse, they ran out of eggs, and this wouldn't have been such a problem if they had warned us when we reserved a table an hour before our visit. It's basic hospitality to inform customers of such shortages in advance. What baffled me even more was that there's a supermarket, ASDA, just across the road. They could have easily walked there to buy eggs, which would have been a simple solution.

The hashbrowns were another letdown. They were hard and seemed old, most likely due to being under the warming lights for too long. Additionally, the staff's demeanor was unfriendly and not very approachable, making the overall dining experience even more disheartening.

What added to the disappointment was the restaurant's peculiar setup. Despite having a meet and greet podium, customers were required to go to the bar to order and pay upfront, which felt confusing and unnecessary.

Breakfast is something we look forward to after a long work week, and it's truly saddening to have that experience ruined by a restaurant that should understand how hospitality works. I won't be returning here for breakfast.
