Well, the title suggests ‘mmmm’, the reality suggest otherwise. Let me tell you about a lunch that I don’t want any of you to have to endure. This was a chicken roast with ‘trimmings’ of a nature I know not how to describe. I’ll start by saying that I don’t expect Mother’s finest when I have a roast dinner in a pub. However nor do I expect cremated roasties, at least I think they were roasties. Who knows?.. as they were hard to identify. Maybe I could find out what they were from their dental records.
Aside from this major culinary error, everything else on the plate (packet veg, peas, gravy, two balls of stuffing, a soggy yorkshire pudding and a hideous gravy that tasted of fat) was mediocre to say the least. The chicken however was the star of the show. What a comeback, if there was to be one. This was the only thing actually edible and on par with a Nandos. No, what am I saying? It was very nearly, only just qualified to almost be on par with Nandos chicken. It was a tasty half chicken and it was through to the next round.
I give this meal 4/10. Also, the service was a delight….funeral style.
