Hotel itself is fine, room good, bed comfy, good location for Southgate. We have stayed several times and enjoyed a really good breakfast however this time it was a disaster. We invited 7 family and friends (who were not staying at the hotel) to join us for breakfast before we checked out. We had recommended the breakfast from previous experiences. However the chef couldn't cook fast enough and was rushing and being quite rude to people waiting at the counter. "What are you waiting for?" Its obvious what people were waiting for! A full breakfast! There was never the full choice of full English breakfast available so he was dishing up undercooked food as he could clearly see people were getting annoyed and frustrated at being expected to wait. If the sausages were ready there were no eggs, if the eggs were ready there were no bacon, on and on this went, never a full choice available. The mushrooms were massively undercooked and still white, the hash browns had hard bits of potato inside, undercooked, the sausages were soft and mushy inside, inedible and actually quite dangerous. There were no pastries at one time and they were very slow to arrive when it was pointed out. There was no bread either. No cutlery anywhere! The waitress was walking around like a very slow, I mean really slow, zombie. She never spoke, her demeanor never changed, she never acknowledged anything or indeed anybody, just seemed 'spaced out'. As a result no-one in my party of 9 had a full English breakfast. I paid a total of £99 for us all to eat there that morning and it totally ruined what was expected to be a nice experience for everyone, instead it was an absolute disaster. The manager very reluctantly gave me a partial refund after I complained however I felt very let down. My advice for management at this hotel is give the chef help and replace the waitress, give her something else to do as she should not be in a customer facing position. Have the cutlery on display so people can help themselves if it's not on the table. I will stay here again but will probably eat breakfast elsewhere.
