   Been to see Taylormania tonight, thought staying in one venue would be better & booked a table for myself & my 11 yr old Niece. Menu was extremely limited - especially since Niece is vegetarian & does not like the texture of meat substitutes - asked for Children's menu. Niece ordered a Margarita pizza £7 & a portion of chunky chips £4.50 & I ordered the Engine burger £16.50 & paid an extra £1 to upgrade from skinny fries to chunky chips. The meals arrived & the pizza was a cheap frozen pizza (similar to the first frozen pizzas you could buy in the 70s - if you're not that old think of something akin to supermarket saver/basic frozen pizza 4 for £1!) The burger wasn't much better - a thick tasteless lump of processed grizzle (Mcdonalds burgers are better than this offering!) - for the £16.50 price tag it should've been proper beef - I was expecting something along the lines of a freshly prepared smash burger. When asked if our food was ok - I told the server I was not happy, I did not finish my burger & explained why. She spoke to her manager & came back to say the bill would be discounted - upon receiving the bill (which should have been £35.50) it had been discounted by the grand sum of £3.55!! & I was informed that I was not charged for a coffee I ordered also. What makes matters worse is after we had left we were made aware that the venue were cooking proper log fire pizzas outside! (A chef came from the outside venue into the place we were just leaving & proceeded to the kitchen & returned carrying fresh dough on a bakers tray. Why on earth were we served the frozen "crap" when their chefs were making far superior ones for a few pounds more? - had it looked like it was operating when we arrived we would've opted for that but the venue looked closed down & half dismantled as if it had stopped trading. My first experience of the venue has not been a good one & I will not return to eat here again.

   Waited awhile for someone to come to the table even though there was barely anyone in, christmas menu wasn't very good either, came last year and it was so much better. One of the gentleman who works there, believe he had a foreign accent, was constantly sat on phone and not paying attention to customers.
