Isle Of Bute Saint Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 On Saturday me and the wife stayed at the Premier Inn Phoenix as were going to a dance at Eldirslie Golf club. So we popped into the Brewers fayre for dinner for handedness. 6pm it was quiet after after 20min we had to ask a waitress to take our order. We both wanted Feta and sweet potato lasagna with salad. After 50min it arrived . No flavour at all tasted of nothing. Not only that it was a frozen ding dong meal microwave heated up from frozen. Could not believe how bad this establishment is. Checked TripAdvisor which also have very poor reviews on this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been about 4 times in the last few months, food's always been decent. Online reviews usually tend to be negative, the only positives you usually get is when some particular thing has been outstanding, nobody really comments on "adequate". It's one of these times of "you get what you pay for", if you go for a cheap option, you take your chances. Would not try it again Brewers Fayre used to be not bad If your serving frozen food from a central production line then flavours have to be strong or it will just be bland when defrosted and reheated. Witherspoon's do the same thing but better and cheaper. Worked for BMA years ago for 6 month same concept frozen meals for the airline that's where I learned taste to frozen. Factory production is not my type of food or job. Of course buy a steak it should be fresh. Each to their own.

If I'm in a restaurant normal practice is waiter service If you cant speak to someone with your cheek why do it on a keyboard. Chip on the old shoulder, seriously grow up.

What the hell do you think I have a chip on my shoulder about? Also I tend not to talk with my cheek so I have no idea what you are blethering on about. I presume your auto-correct is having as much trouble interpreting your incoherent rambling drug-fuelled pish as the rest of us on here. Talking of "cheek" and "growing up", how are your preparations coming along for that street fight you challenged RossC83 on pieandbovril coming along? Selling tickets? A 60 year old asking total strangers for street fights has to be the most cringeworthy thing you can do, Edited October 22, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not only are you a twat hiding behind a keyboard you are also a liar. You seem rattled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I start private messaging total strangers asking for fights in the street maybe I'll come looking to you for advice on how to behave on a discussion forum.

As I wrote you are a liar only you use the word fight. Thanks for taking the thread away on another direction because of your childish agenda.
