A trip out to eat with the family shouldn't be this painful
A garden centre isn't the first place that springs to mind when it comes to getting a Sunday roast, but there's one place that has diners queuing in their droves for exactly that.

The hot food choices were quite limited, but we all found something we liked and in fact three of us opted for the same thing, a roast turkey breast ciabatta, while our youngest wanted chicken goujons.Firstly, people. Just people, everywhere. One queue for cake, a queue for hot food, a queue for cold food, and all of them seemingly intertwining.
My daughter reluctantly decided on a children's sausage and mash instead, at 14 she obviously thinks she's no longer a child, and then dashed off to check with her dad what he wanted instead. The bit about 'order at the counter and we'll bring to the table' didn't appear to be happening. I was given the children's meals, which sat on the trays going cold for 10 minutes, while they dished up the roast dinners and then, you guessed it, we queued - for the till this time.
But the real fun started when we sat down. Finally tucking into our food - our beef dinners delicious and the standard you'd expect from a high end restaurant, but sadly the children's a bit sad and cold by this point - what was to arrive at our table? The two children's dinners.Five minutes later and a separate waitress was just as confused when she arrived holding two cheesecakes and put just one on the table, with the second one meant for someone else.
