It's been eons since we've been in a Pizza Hut. Again three grandkids decided the agenda today from this place to build a bear, to crazy golf, to Burger King.
At one stage us oldies got em into Marks & Spencer so we could get flat white coffees and they each took apple juice.
So it was an eat all ya like Pizza Hut deal but, as grandparents, we restricted the food on their plates so that we didn't end up leaving a pile of wasted food.
We are that generation. Food waste drives us crazy - it's genuinely sinful with parents who allow it, sending kids the wrong message and completely irresponsible.
So the kids were more interested in the two pasta dishes - one tomato based and the other broccoli & cream based with sweetcorn from the salad bar.
Us old timers settled on pizza slices.
Now there had to be a dozen pizza choices, mostly thick based, and as English schools are now closed for summer the place was packed so the food turnover was huge.
I'm an odd beggar as I avoid 'meat' in these places as best I can, so I settled on 2 types - one with fresh whole baby tomatoes and tinned green chilli and one made with barbecue sauce. They were both actually very tasty for junk fast food.
As I waited for my freshly cooked choices the waitress put down a thin based pizza with cheese literally still sizzling on the pan, so I tried a slice and it was delicious. Most of the pizzas were thick based.
We had bottomless drinks too with Pepsi being the cola of choice in PH. They offered a range of flavours to add to the Pepsi choices - strawberry, lime, cherry and so on but we just settled on Pepsi Max.
The kids has bottomless ice cream too but the same requirement applied. Small amounts of food with more allowed if their bowl was empty.
The kids had at least 6 choices of mostly sugary toppings for the ice cream and two sauces - strawberry and chocolate.
All in all we each got something we liked. The bill for 2 adults and 3 kids was just under £54. We would return with grandkids but we do hope it isn't soon. read more
