Lindley's — Restaurant in Kirklees

Always had good experiences here until today. 20 questions as soon as we touched the 'wrong' menu....staying in or taking away, food or just drinks?

The food was awful. 2 raw baguettes with a burnt edge on one side, not sure how that is possible but they achieved it! .
