Had several emails asking me to review the Station, I wouldn’t normally bother, but as i’ve emailed twice this week for my receipt and had no reply, maybe you’ll read this?
I’ve stopped here about 18-20 nights over the last couple of years. I’ve seen the decline from good to not very good. Staff don’t seem to care any more. Website says breakfast served from 7. It’s not. Been down twice to find “chef doesn’t start till 8”. No use to me at that time, so I haven’t ordered breakfast recently. Shame. It used to be good. And at 7am. Last week I ordered my evening meal as a starter and main course. Pretty standard I thought, but the lad brought them together and said “which do you want putting where?”. I asked him to put my main course in the kitchen as it would otherwise be cold by the time I finished my soup starter. He didn’t seem to get it. I was quite surprised, as I’d made it really clear it was a starter and a main, due to the same thing happening last time I stayed. I blame the cook not the (clearly very inexperienced) waiter. It came back with the tartar sauce warm, so they had clearly just chucked the plate under the pass. It’s not difficult. It’s basically Wetherspoons food at restaurant prices.
