Stopped off for a quick bite to eat before travelling home. Queue at a standstill, many customers abandoning ship. Eventually made it to the hot drinks counter to discover the only option was available was hot water. Desperately rummaged through a selection of discarded teapots and dirty cups to triumphantly discover one clean teapot, requested a cup and was provided with paper ones. Breakfast finally ordered and made our way to the cutlery section. Managed to acquire a butter knife to stir tea.

We then asked for the store manager who was an amazing help and shocked at the quality of food . Our meal was £6.50 each and she refunded us £10 each so can’t complain about her at all. But won’t be...
