Upper Crust Charing Cross — Restaurant in London

Probably the worst place to get food in the area

The staff here are absolutely miserable. The queue moves at a snail's pace because they don't do thing with any speed, or in any logical order... and the two girls that work there look like they hate their lives. The food selection is terrible, and what little they do have is tasteless as boring.

The chain ran a £1 lunch meal deal on a Monday, supposedly to encourage new customers. I can safely say that I, as well as most of the other people I encounter in the needlessly long unmoving queue - would avoid this uppercrust as well as probably most other stores in the brand, following the awful service and products on offer here.

Today, I was served up the baguette with one tiny piece of streaky bacon - what a let down. But by now I was on the 8:15 to Sevenoaks and out of the station.

I'm not interested in your promotional draw, I would rather you put some...
