When the breakfast arrived it looked awful. The egg must have been cooked in oil so old it looked dirty!! The bacon was half meat half fat, the sausage crunchy and the beans looked as if they'd been kept warm for a least two hours. The tomato was cooked on the outside and raw in the middle ('erindoors had this).
I for one will not be venturing into this place again as there is certainly no pride in serving and producing a nice looking meal for the customer.

Think the Staff member might be wrong there....The Mushrooms might not be replaceable....but miserable staff like that sure as hell are. The staff used to be quite cheerful in there but must admit the current bunch are a gloomy lot alright!
