Morrisons Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

Used to be one of our top choices for lunch. Unfortunately it appears to be going downhill recently, regarding the quality and freshness of the food. On one visit, a couple of weeks ago, my husband chose the scone + sandwich + hot drink deal. In his estimation, the scone was a day old offering. It was slightly hard and brittle, so that his attempt to slice it resulted in it shattering into many pieces. He just had to dip the bits in the jam and cream rather than spread them. The cheese sandwiches had roughly two centimetres of cheese on each one. All in all, very poor. I chose a pink iced cupcake, that looked promising from the top view, but upon removing the paper case it too fell to bits on the plate, leaving me holding the circle of hard icing with merely crumbs of cake attached. Never before have I had such an insubstantial, bland, and difficult to eat confection. I had no choice but to carefully pick up a couple of larger bits and leave the rest. Had I sneezed I am certain that the entire, crumbled to tiny fragments, contents of the cake paper would have been blown across the table.

Then on our most recent visit (we're very forgiving people!) we stopped in for lunch. We both chose a meal we have really enjoyed a few times before - the fish and chips. Overcooked fish, a noticeably smaller portion of (cold, this time) chips, and a small dish of cold peas. Oh dear. Service was a bit quicker than usual, but the food was so disappointing that we were tempted to ask for them to keep it a bit longer and perhaps return with something more enjoyable. In reality what we did was eat it quickly and leave, muttering disappointments and huffy sounding declarations of never darkening their door again.

Will we return? Perhaps, some day, ever hopeful that things will have returned to their previously good standard. Although another issue is their policy of "free" meals for kids. We all know these meals are not "free" and that everyone of adult age is subsidising this food with the prices we have to pay. Quite frankly we could not care less about your children eating for free in a restaurant and resent the fact that restaurants recoup the cost of these "free" meals by raising the price of food for...

Having been a regular cafe customer twice a week for several years and buying fish and chips I can honestly say the standard of cooking has taken a nose dive. The fish is invariably overcooked with too much dark batter having been in the fryer too long and as a result the chips can be covered in black bits from the batter. Completely unacceptable to the point we have ceased to eat there....not fit for consumption or the price paid. Times gone by they added a slice of lemon but thats gone. Now I see they are doing an ££8.99 deal to attract customers, no doubt due to falling sales. I once ordered a baked potato and cheese which was cold whilst waiting on them to provide a fork. I won't be back, like many others I suspect until they have proper cooks and...

Kids meal £1.00 per item ...1 slice of toast a £1 1 sausage £1. £2.79 if you take 3 items but everything is £1.00 otherwise . Member of staff commendably did her best to see if it was the actual true price for a kid but can't change the prices. A total bargain. Will be bringing the kid and all nieces and nephews . And an overdraft. Tables dirty Cutlery dirty I'm all for paying for a meal and expect to pay more for eating doing so but a quid a slice of bread is ripping the hole clean out of it when an entire loaf in store will be less than a pound and for a kid in today's...
