Crap Food

Been away at the weekend was playing in a TT tournament in Leicestershire, was drawn in a tough section and didn't perform my best which was a dissapointment but these things happen.

Paula came with me and we got a good two night deal at the Leicester Hilton, the hotel and staff were excellent as was the Beakfasts which is always a bonus.

Anyway some TT friends invited us to join them for a Pub meal on Saturday night and after it been bulled up by them (they'd been the previous year) it turned out a disaster. The Pub called "The Blue Pig" was nice enough, sort of old fashioned . http://www.thebluepigpub.co.uk/
Anyway there was 7 of us and we ordered our food which then took well over an hour to arrive, 3 of the 7 meals turned out a disaster including Paulas and myself. Paula went for the sirloin steak medium rare which came medium well for starters. She also ordered Peppercorn Sauce which initially didn't arrive until we asked, she poured some on her steak and then tasted, it tasted of washing up liquid. Told the manager and he took it away and offered to cook another steak, told him as everyone had got their food we weren't waiting another hour +. So he offered to half the cost which we accepted and Paula scraped the sauce off her steak. Then she found the steak was full of grissle, it was more like frying steak than sirloin.
My own meal was a mixed grill which looked good when it arrived but soon as I started to cut into the various meats it became apparent they were all of the cheapest cuts, in fact more fat than meat which was inedible.
Another Lady in our group also had issues with her food and raised the issue with the waittress who just laughed as though it was some kind of joke which went down like a lead balloon.
Wasn't just us as we heard another table complaining about their food, it really was that bad.

One thing for sure we wont be eating there again.
