Upon entering the muffin break abode, we witnessed an immense array of what I thought was a Gail’s standard of pastries - later in this story I shall venture into why my view changes throughout the experience. Me and my fellow friend were a witness to pure weakness and robbery.
We took up on the decision to look upon these ‘Gail’s’ Standard pastries and opted for the ‘full English breakfast’. As we were waiting for my cold beverage I suddenly was arosed by a smell of microwave material cooking - this was true. We look beyond the cashier and behind this there where to be a kitted out station of a portable kitchen ranging from a hot plate and a microwave.
We now understood what we were in for however a slight optimistic approach as where tempted to leave even after paying and having a sip of an iced coffee which seemed to drowned in icecream.
Our food later arrived and oh boy we got served what essentially was a plate of full English fails. The scrambled egg hadn’t seen one inch of salt, pepper, daylight & a stove. From here we knew what a bad decision we made going to a restaurant next to the toilets.
We had advanced onto the bacon, and oh boy what an experience I felt as though I had taken a dip in the Dead Sea. Salt was sweating out of my forehead just looking at it. The texture on the other hand was oh boy… sandier than the sands of the Sahara Desert. And from there we decided depart from this drastic eventful flavourless crispy plain salty and infact rather...
Read moreNot the best. My first cup of tea was lovely, but it took 31 minutes for my breakfast to arrive. The eggs were undercooked and not all the white was white it was still translucent. The Sausages were nice and tasty but could have spent more time in the pan, the bacon rashers were hard as leather in the meaty area but the fatty bits which need to be crispy were undercooked, the toast needed a steak knife and the hash brown wasn't "brown" I'd love to know what they were doing for the half hour. I hate it when restaurants give you your tea as soon as you order and then keep you waiting for your food. It was my second choice for breakfast because the clock house restaurant diner wasn't open at breakfast time for breakfast. Oh well it looks like Wetherspoons next time. I don't want my breakfast at nearly midday I want to eat between 8 & 9.30 at the latest. I don't mind paying good money for good food but this wasn't it. Sorry but I got the impression it wasn't just a bad day but should have guessed when the person at the till said sorry we don't have mushrooms would I like...
Read moreVisited this week for the first time and not overly impressed. On initial arrival the serving staff are quite rude and look miserable, not welcoming at all. We ordered flat white, panini and muffin. The flat white was weak and didn't taste of much, the panini was ok but the muffin was awful, very dry and found a bit difficult to eat so unfortunately it was left. The place is very busy so can be difficult to find a table, we also noticed people sit working on laptops taking tables up even though they are not eating or drinking which doesn't seem fair when you have purchased some and cannot find anywhere to sit. However by the time we left there were a lot of free tables so we may have arrived at a particularly busy time. The prices are very expensive for what you get and there is far better choices a minutes walk away This is not somewhere I...
