I get extremely cross at being ripped off on days out with the kids when purchasing food.
But yesterday took the biscuit in my opinion and wondered if I was being unreasonable.
Took DS to a party at Jimmy's Farm. Lovely place, lovely weather, disappointing craft market (but that's another story!). DH, I and DD ordered a sausage in a roll at their outdoor kitchen thing. &10.50 was the grand total.
Imagine my shock when the food was presented. A cotton wooly pappy roll of the type you buy in major supermarkets at about 10 for a pound filled with what looked like piled onions and one very very sad little sausage. I'm talking a sausage that spanned the length of half of the roll, about 3.5 inches!!
Now, I know these places need to make money but if our cheeky chappy makes money on the television harping on about what food contains I would expect him to take a whole lot more pride in what he dishes up in his establishment.
I would have expected a hunk of baked on the premises baguette, filled with yummy caramelised onions and a big whacking rare breed banger. I would have paid more for that and would not have been disappointed.
To top it off the crappy sauces available to go on our food were most certainly the bright sugar filled variety and not the quality Stokes stuff they have in their shop for a horrendous mark up!!
Ggggggrrrrr, sorry, was v v hungry and cross. I expect it from big companies like the one that owns legoland and Chessington but thought Jimmy would have been above serving crap for a fortune.
