"The beef pie was terrible... The pie came with a side of steamed vegetable steamed to a mush, flavourless mushy vegetables."
"Main courses disappointing, especially for the price - husband's steak was not hot, my oven cooked salmon was cooked but had obviously been left on a side somewhere as was cool when it arrived with cold and considerably undercooked veg."

Cons:
