Bring back the old Red Lion!

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:05:04 UTC

This used to be the Red Lion pub where generous portions of hearty, English pub grub was served. It changed hands to serve Chinese food and has changed hands again and now serves Indian food. The food I’ve had there since it changed hands from the original Red Lion has been dire. After it had changed hands the first time and was serving Chinese food we decided to give it a go and the food was disgusting - some undercooked, some obviously re-cooked several times and some clearly leftovers taken from other people’s plates – have never been back since and won’t ever go back again unless it is restored to it’s former self.

Gone downhill over the years

This used to be a really nice café but since it changed ownership quite a few years ago (I think around the time Café Anglais extended) it has gone downhill. My first choice of café in this area would be Café Anglais across the road from here, but Café Anglais is so busy and popular we used (note USED) to come to Café Delight if there were no free tables in Café Anglais. The menu hasn’t changed much since it has changed hands but the quality of the food has really gone downhill. You have to wait a while for your food and the food is so greasy and quite often is over or under cooked. Also there used to be a lot of nice people who used to go to this café but now it is full of hoodies making you feel uneasy and uncomfortable. If you are thinking of coming here just cross over the road and go to Café Anglais even if you have to wait for a table there as the food, service and atmosphere is the best.

Café and a half!

Now this is a café and a half – if you need a proper fry-up then this is the place to go! This family run café has been here a long time and used to be just one unit but was so popular they took over the shop/unit next door too. It is always busy and in the summer they sometimes have chairs and tables outside. The food is first class, very good quality, all freshly made and lots to offer on the menu. If there isn’t a set breakfast that you fancy on the menu, make your own up. They also have very good home made pies and custard if you have enough room left after your main meal. If you don’t fancy a fry up, I recommend the liver and bacon or omelette and chips but everything on their menu is really good and have always had perfect food served up every time and have been going there for over 10 years.

Poor service, cold and undercooked food

When we saw the empty restaurant and remembered it always seems to be empty, warning bells should have rung but instead my good man and I decided to try the restaurant out – big mistake. The menu is not very unique, usual American diner type food that is done much better in TGI Fridays. The service was so slow and we had to wait ages to order and again for our food to arrive – we couldn’t understand why as the restaurant was virtually empty. When our food finally did arrive, they got our order wrong and the food was cold. The burgers were very served very rare and we had asked for them to be cooked well done. When we tried to raise this with our waitress she was very moody and almost suggested that we didn’t order their food correctly! Overpriced and poorly served food with bad service to boot – will definitely not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
