Wow, not sure what went wrong here after seeing the other reviews. Firstly to note- it was a busy lunch and we were a huge cover, the waitresses were helpful and pleasant, but obviously under-staffed and were having to juggle a million different things when it suddenly picked up.
We all had the lunch buffet which included a salad plate, drink and a main course. The salad was sort of standard grated carrot, sweetcorn, pineapple, coleslaw fare and bread. They were nice and accommodating with the vegetarians in the group as we subbed the chilli burgers for halloumi.
Sadly that's where I have to say the pros ended, the burger had a sweet cheap tasting floppy bun and one sad wet piece of lettuce, the bbq and orange (burger?) sauce included tasted incredibly artificial and again overtly sweet, my apple juice from the buffet was again a painfully artificial sweetened affair. The others in the group seemed to feel the same way, the buffet was very underwhelming, with the Swedish classics (meatballs) with a few fresher-looking elements faring a bit better.
Perhaps it's best to go for a dinner when there aren't cost-saving elements or corners cut, either way I came away feeling like I'd eaten something that wasn't fresh and without that cosy pub feeling I miss! read more
