Book a sumptuous romantic meal as advertised including a Rose on arrival for the lady only to find there was no candles or romantic music. We were greeted at reception by a teenager in a shell suit The Rose was handed to the lady complete with thorns and no sleeve so she had to carry it to the table by the petals. Soup was brought to the table with the spoon in the plate. The waitress insisted the bottle of White was definitely Rose as she could see a blush off it when she placed it beside the red napkin. Main course was ok but dessert was served frozen solid in a wee farmfoods tub. Only meal I ever got free after telling them where to stick it.
Fortunately it wasn't our first date.
I get an email every year inviting us back.
Other wee tubs are available.
