WARINGS Lifestore — Restaurant in Norwich

Can see a lot of reviews on here about semi-cold / not thoroughly heated food & drink. Although I don't usually write reviews unfortunately I feel the need to in this case, as I received quite severe food poisoning (later diagnosed as Campylobacter) from a suspected Panini. These were stored near the counter in a container that wasn't particularly chilled and once reheated was warm at best.
