• "The roast potatoes was hard inside and not crisp at all."
• "Parsnip was also under cook and the stuffing was hard and dry."
• "The grand finale, a 'decadent chocolate fudge cake', tasted like dust."
• "The same burger ordered downstairs a week later came out overcooked, dry, with the buns barely toasted and equally dry."

• "Really disappointing main course, the tuna steak resembled the sole of a shoe - slightly warm and fishy."
