“Miller and Carter Ruislip - standard of food has gone downhill. The salt and pepper calamari starter was very bland and tasteless - like something from a supermarket freezer pack rather than fresh. The cheesy garlic bread starter was cold, limp and lifeless, with no noticeable garlic flavour whatsoever. The sirloin steak was just ok, average at best. Nothing particularly great about it, but not terrible. However, the frozen disc of butter on it was so solidly frozen that it had barely started to thaw by the time I'd finished the steak. There was a quarter tomato garnish that had obviously been chargrilled at some point, but it was stone cold. The lettuce wedge was less of a single wedge and more a collection of separate lettuce leaves. If I'd wanted this standard of food I'd have gone to Wetherspoons and saved myself 70% of the bill (and had a much better selection of beers).
The wall next to our table was covered in grease splatters and marks that had obviously accumulated over time, yet seemingly not cleaned or even noticed by M&C staff?”
