Went there Friday April 3rd. Ordered a Fish Pie and veggies. The veggies were delivered stone cold. We sent them back. They were delivered back, hot, with the same teeth mark in a carrot we had left them with when the waiter took them back to the kitchen.

The Charles Wells "Bombadier" was not up to much also...

But the Fish Pie was excellent!

I seem to recall someone working there who told me the food is not actually cooked on the premises. It's delivered from somewhere central, and they use some process or other, which they claim was NOT microwaving, to warm it up.

Apparently quite a few central restaurants do this, what with all those high rents.
