"I took my wife, son and daughter-in-law for lunch today to celebrate their moving in to a new apartment in Stratford. We were attracted by the sign outside offering a Sunday Roast at £14.95. Two stars were awarded because the service was good, the Peroni beers were chilled and my Diet Coke arrived without ice as requested, plus my son 's lasagne met expectations and was hot and tasty. However, as I put in the title, the roast was the worst we had ever eaten. My son asked if it was nice and we ate it all as we were hungry and supposed to be celebrating, but I reluctantly admitted it was grim and my wife and daughter-in-law conceded it was the worst Sunday Roast they ever had, once I had said it. I had one slice of chicken with a tough skin on one side and fashionably charred until hard and difficult to cut on the other. Not an easy eat by any means. It had an odd grey (peppercorn? sauce drizzled on the plate underneath. The Yorkshire pudding was just a rustic style ball of air with little evidence of the 'pudding ' element and a hard rough unpleasant exterior that was hard to cut and harder to chew. We received a pleasing enough bowl of vegetables to share between three of us with tasty potatoes boiled in their skins. There was some charred asparagus, but no evidence of roast potatoes. I didn 't expect Jamie 's Italian to serve a standard Sunday Roast, but had it not been for the attempt at a Yorkshire pudding, I would not have recognised it by look or taste. I am not sure that anything was actually roasted at all, the Yorkie was more like an old tennis ball, no gravy, nothing I identified as a roast potato. On the one hand there is nouvelle cuisine and on the other, a breach of trade description. Unsurprisingly, we declined the dessert menu. I quietly left the table to air my complaints away from my family and the waitress introduced me to a manager, who asked if I had paid already, which I had, then left it that he would order it himself to try it. I told him I wasn 't complaining just to get money back because I really wanted to hammer home the message, but £45 for the three plates of poor food is really taking the mickey. Having returned home to Brighton and reflected upon our experience, I do actually think a gesture of goodwill was appropriate.The only thing they got right about Sunday Roast is that it was Sunday!"
