This breakfast / lunch left me totally speechless. Just near The British Museum, Munchkins is an eating place that will make you fall off your chair. Has to be the worst breakfast I have ever had.

Catering sausages, eggs cooked to within an inch of their lives, bacon you didn't ask for, chips fresh from a bag in the freezer, some baked beans, a pot of tea, and two slices of white sliced pan bread, £23 is an insult, I'd imagine you'll not be back, using my own arithmetic they probably cost around £3 for the ingredients (if that), so 700% profit isn't bad. I'd be ashamed to charge anyone that amount for substandard food, taking the piss!

I was in London for a week vacation last October. A good tourist looks for where the locals are. If a tourist gets caught in a tourist trap, gets bad food, service and high prices, it’s on them. As far as the food went I quite enjoyed the meat pies, obviously the fish and chips and of course the Indian food which I had a few times.

@hardywatkins7737 2 месяца назад

That's a good story. Actually i have a similar story. When i was 14 or so i was walking along the main road near my home and a TR7 came speeding along the road, and seemingly hit something small, lost control and span on the spot like two or three times before it ended up facing the way it was headed and sped off again. About 14 years later i was hitchhiking on the same road and a guy gave me a lift and for some reason i mentioned the TR7 incedent and he told me it was him driving and he told me about it! Just one of those spooky cool things that happen sometimes.

As 90% of London caterers are foreigners, British dishes are always going to be a challenge for them, so they go for the ready-made option. If it looks right then it will taste right. As brits never complain the cook's think 'A job well done'. They nailed your hat on with the price though🤗.

Sausages look like Morrison's Savers or ASDA Smart Price range with less than 30% meat. Within a mile from the British Museum, you can find hundreds of dining venues and B&Bs determined to endorse/honour the statement in most tourists guide books saying "Britain is not particularly famous for appetising food, which, however, is well compensated by the beautiful leafy landscape in the countryside."

I find it increasingly common not getting things that you ordered in restaurants. Recently I visited a Mcdonalds in Ely, I ordered a latte and porridge with jam.

If they can't be bothered to get my order correct I can't be bothered to give them my money.
