"Downloaded the app. Nothing worked. Ordered at the bar, paid £2.25 extra for beef on my burrito bowl. When it came out, there was literally 5g of beef and sauce added to the smallest burrito bowl I have ever seen. The bowl itself was fine. But if I had paid just £10 for the bowl itself, as standard, I would have been furious. But then having paid £2.25 for an extra 5g of beef. After asking for an opinion from the staff (who were extremely helpful), it sounded like they either agreed and didn’t want to comment, or didn’t really know what a standard protein portion on a standard meal should be. Ground beef is cheap. Slow cooked ground beef is low maintenance, cheap easy to prepare. My concerns about the portion sizes were confirmed when I was brought out a 2nd portion of the beef… which appeared to be no more than 10g of beef (if you were being generous), and a lot of sauce. For context. At home, you could make 500g of the same thing for around £5.00… and as a business, buying at wholesale, bulk prices, you can make it a lot cheaper. So even if you were serving a standard portion of protein 20 30g for an adult you’d still make money, if you were buying wagyu ground beef from waitrose. If you are looking for decent food… give this one a miss. The service and drinks are all standard for a chain pub, its just the food that is a scam. Staff were 10/10 though, and brought me out a 2nd portion, with no drama. But even 2 portions of that beef wasn’t really enough protein for an adult. And there was far too much sauce to cover the fact that there was hardly any beef"

"Wow what a difference in customer service, in comparison to the Hourglass at Piccadilly.. I popped in Here for lunch as I had a cheque of £35 to use from Trg Concessions , after an appalling service in Hourglass at Piccadilly Train Station.. The food here does not offer homemade burgers but Italian food. Approaching the Italianesque restaurants, we were greeted and seated outside with great enthusiasm. I could not fault the level of care from beginning to end. Even the manageress came out several times to ensure everything was okay. To start we chose the garlic bread to share accompanied by mushrooms rissoto balls. I have to say this was surprisingly one of the best garlic pizza breads I have had. The base was light and airy with lots of garlic...nom! The risotto balls were tasty , firm on the outside and soft and ricey in the middle. The Mains where everything drops slightly in wow factor. It is rare I choose a veggie dish, but I decided on the butternut squash with pine nuts, and my companion the chicken scallops. The presentation was not great , and mine was just a roast butternut squash, no hidden surprises and a bland salad to match..also not enough pine nuts! The chicken was also apparently bland and very dry... The Peroni was good to wash this down..Overall I think this place is a tad pricey in reflection to what you receive. If they offered the same quality and variety of food as the Hourglass but maintain the high level of customer care this would easily be a 4 star place."
