Today it was decided that rather than go through the hassle of cooking, the new Laboratoire kitchen is still far from fully operational, dinner would be prepared by the experts at Toby Carvery. How can you go wrong? A choice of up to 4 meats and unlimited quantities of 8 different vegetables for a mere £5.95. Plus for an extra £1.50 you can go 'King', that's extra meat an extra Yorkshire pudding and 2 Chipolatas. How could I refuse.
But refuse I should have done (I know, terrible grammar), for a meal fit for a 'King' it was not and instead of even more delicious meat I had even more tough, grisly and completely tasteless meat. My larger plate merely allowed me to choose more tasteless and undercooked vegetables. And rather than eating more I left at least 50% of the bland and badly cooked food on my magnificently proportioned plate.
So I warn my reader (I didn't forget the 's'), if you are ever asked if you want to go 'King' turn around and leave, for anywhere offering such a service will likely disappoint with spectacularly large portions of substandard and inedible food.
And I haven't even mentioned the 20 minute queue for the food that stretched across the building.
