2 /5 Daniel Lindstrom: I just left the Garden Resturant, and I’m extremely disappointed. As someone with coeliac disease, I chose this restaurant because they claim to cater to allergies. However, my experience proved otherwise.
There was almost nothing on the menu I could eat, and the staff seemed unsure about what was safe for me. After waiting 10 minutes for the manager, he went to check with the kitchen, which took another 10 minutes. Finally, I was told I could have either a prawn Caesar salad or gammon and eggs. I opted for the salad, which cost an outrageous £17.50.
After waiting 30 minutes, my salad finally arrived – and it was shocking. It consisted of nothing more than a bowl of chopped lettuce with a few prawns and a basic sauce. For that price, I would expect far better quality and presentation.
While the staff were friendly, the overall service and lack of allergy-friendly options were unacceptable. I won’t be coming back, and I strongly suggest the restaurant makes significant changes to their menu and training if they truly want to cater to guests with allergies.
