My husband really enjoyed his food i was disappointed as some of my wings were stone cold which I found very strange as the rest were lovely and hot. I was also disappointed with the chicken pot pie I had it before and was alot nicer and flavour was nicer. This time I found it was bland I actually had to use salt on my dinner and I never use salt and found the sauce was very thick compared to before. Recipe could of been changed from last time I had it. It wouldn't stop me from eating there again as I do normally really enjoy my food.
