Full • Coffee • British • Breakfast


"Obviously a captive audience in an airport so without any other food outlets (other than a coffee bar that we spotted after or WHSmith we had no choice. Ordered 2 breakfasts one meat breakfast with fried eggs and one veggie breakfast minus the roasted peppers and tomato (I know, I’m fussy when it came out the meat one had scrambled egg (not fried as requested with toast that was bread on the top and toast on the bottom and I’m not talking either side of the bread I’m talking as if you drew a line across it or popped it in the toaster with one half hanging out. The veggie breakfast (including the peppers I asked to be left off came without toast (my fault for not understanding the menu properly, but who serves breakfast without toast? the waiter said ‘do you want toast’ I said ‘yes please’ I took this to mean he was getting me some, never came back. The beans were cold, and not been sitting for a minute cold like hadn’t been heated cold. The eggs were snotty. Looked around for someone to talk to about my disappointment but there was now a queue as long as my arm at the bar and no one else in sight. Eventually when I told the same guy who had offered me toast how awful it was he just smiled and cleared my plates. For the price of that breakfast I think it was an absolute joke. Would have waited to talk the manager but I think I would have missed my flight. Confused at how over run they were as well, surely they are used to the patterns of busy trade times it’s the only eatery in the airport for goodness sake (after security .......maybe they hadn’t checked the flight times when making the rota. Can not deny that the staff were polite and the ordering process was fine (apart from getting both the meals wrong coffee came out quickly. Colour me unimpressed!!"
