Garfunkels

Inedible food and very rude staff

We will never return to Garfunkels again after a recent bad experience. The service was very slow and when the food arrived it was inedible. My good man had ordered fish and chips but the fish looked like it had been fried and re-fried several times and was solid - I mean totally rock hard, he couldn't even cut it. His chips were soggy, a horrible colour and looked like they were leftovers that had been heated up. My cottage pie was just as bad, the veg on the side was so overcooked and dull and had other food/sauce marks on it suggesting it was leftovers lifted off someone elses plate and then served up to me. The cottage pie was horrible, again it looked like it had been put together from other people's leftovers.

We couldn't eat the food and when we told the waitress she was very rude. The manager was equally as rude and said there was nothin wrong with our food and that they would not bring us replacements as our food looked edible to her. After much arguing and demonstrating that the sharper knife they brought over couldn't even cut into the rubbery fish they said they would knock the fish alone off the bill and would not let us leave until we had paid for this terrible affair.

We will never come back and would never recommend this to anyone - inedible food that was probably leftovers and re-cooked several times, poor customer service, rude manager and being forced to pay for food that was inedible and that we simply could not eat.
