I have been to My Collier 3 times, for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I can honestly say that I have not been impressed any time that I went! I tried different times of going and different foods to see if it was just teething problems for being newly opened but I think the food is very expensive and not impressive! I firstly went for lunch with my husband and daughter, my daughter ordered waffles which they didn’t have so she had pancakes which were nice but both me and my husband had a sandwich which came with nothing else (crisps, chips or even salad) it was very expensive for the fact you only got a sandwich! Second time I went for dinner with a friend! We wanted a cocktail and were told they don’t sell alcohol which was disappointing, the starter was just ok but we both ordered a burger which was a bit cold and what ruined the evening even more is they had no heating and everyone in the restaurant was sat in coats! Both me and my friend had to wear our coats while eating dinner! We went to order deserts but were told they didn’t have what we wanted again! Today we went for breakfast for Mother’s Day (12 of us) we had to ask a waitress to come over and take our order as they took so long! The music for a Sunday morning was SO loud that we couldn’t hear each other talk! We asked about 4 times for it to be turned down! We ordered our food and drinks and it took soo long for the drinks to come! The teas were all warm not hot! When the breakfasts all came 45 minutes later there were so many problems that we were constantly complaining! All the breakfasts came with bowls of cold beans, 1 breakfast came without bacon, 1 breakfast came with under cooked eggs which we asked for well done eggs! 1 breakfast came with no beans at all! When we asked for the beans to be warmed, they didn’t come until the breakfast were finished with! The only reason any food got eaten was because everyone was so hungry as we’d waited so long! But a lot of food didn’t get eaten due to either being cold or not very nice! The sourdough toast is a joke it’s 1 very small piece of bread (not toast) also cold! And surprise surprise when my daughter asked for waffles yet again they didn’t have them! We complained as it was really not a great experience at all and we were ALL very disappointed! They offered to take off the £20 service charge (which is so cheeky that they even added that) and £30 off the bill, which to be fair I wouldn’t have paid anything for the food that we received! I have given My Collier a few chances now but I will not be going back again! Very...
Read moreDisappointing Experience at MyShish Romford
I recently attended an event at MyShish Romford and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
The food quality was poor — the chicken wings were undercooked, the chicken shish was lukewarm, the rice was overly salty, and the lamb was tough and dry. For a restaurant that presents itself as a quality dining venue, this was very unexpected.
The service was even worse. There were only two waiters trying to serve around 60 guests, which made the entire evening chaotic. Why not hire more staff???? Food was coming out slowly, and some guests from our party ended up helping to serve the dishes and even clearing dirty plates just to keep things moving. Like what? Was a service not paid for???
It took an unreasonably long time to get drinks, and when dessert finally arrived, it was served in foil containers, which felt careless and unprofessional for a pre-booked event. I guess they didn’t want to wash anymore dishes ???
Not all bad though, the dynamite prawns, bread and humous, brownie and ice cream was fantastic only good thing to come from that three course meal.
Overall, the experience felt very disorganised and disappointing. MyShish Romford really needs to improve both the quality of their food and their level of service, especially when hosting...
Read moreI ate lunch here yesterday with a friend. We were quite disappointed with the wait. We thought we could be done with food and all in 1.5 hours so she could head back to work but ended up spending 2.5 hours. The food took forever to come out even though the restaurant was empty and it was just 2 of us who had placed orders. Waiter kept saying 5 minutes. Comes back 10 minutes later and says 5 minutes more. When the food eventually arrived, it was nicely presented and looked lovely until my friend took a bite of her lamb ribs. Absolutely bland. I had a taste. I think the chef didn't learn about seasoning at culinary school. Then my linguine was such a small portion, too. When it came to paying the bill, the waiter made me touch my card too many times, citing invalid transaction because she couldnt work the machine properly. So we part paid in cash. Got home and discovered I had also been charged multiple times on my card so we ended up coughing up more than our bill. The waiter was kinda cheerful, but she didn't know what she was doing half the time. Upside is that the ambience and interior decor is nice and easy on the eyes. I want to say I'll visit again despite all the above but I really don't like food that's not seasoned...
