Today Tony and I went over to Shildon to the railway museum Locomotion. It's one of my favourite places to visit when the weather is getting colder as it's all indoors, it's free and even the car parking is free. When we left we were both famished so called into a little cafe for lunch. We kind of assumed it would be really nice as it was supposed to be home cooked food. Frankly it was a big disappointment and the pasty white chips should have alerted us both. The hot chocolate was basically hot milk with a squirt of cream and a pile of marshmallows. I'm not sure the corned beef pie had more than a scrape of actual corned beef in amongst all the mashed potato. All in all a huge disappointment. If only they'd cooked the chips until they were golden brown it might at least have looked appetising. Needless to say we won't go there again
Such a shame, but glad the museum was OK.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real shame and we certainly won't go there again
DeleteI'm glad to be back for a visit but it sounds like your visit to the cafe was not much fun. Annoying when you were hungry and looking forward to a tasty meal.
ReplyDeleteI can pretty much eat anything but this was a huge disappointment
Deletethat does not sound very appetizing at all.....we have had some miserable meals out recently!! Makes you not want to support smaller establishments.
ReplyDeleteI said exactly the same thing.
DeleteWhat a disappointment! I swear that it takes effort to make food that bad.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.
DeleteOh no! What a shame!
ReplyDeleteIt was really disappointing
