"My elderly Mother and I visited the Alana cafe on Sat for Brunch. Whilst the setting inside the cafe is lovely, the staff very friendly, the service good and the quality of the food good (nothing outstanding), it was the portion size that was totally ridiculous!! My Mother ordered the pancakes with bacon from the breakfast menu. It was 1145am and they stop serving breakfast at 1200. Her meal came without any bacon and I drew this to the attention of the waitress. She apologiesd and said pancakes were also on the light bite menu at a cheaper price without bacon! She checked my till receipt then brought two slides of bacon on a side plate. The size of the pancakes was totally ridiculous and would have been better suited to a toddler!! There were three extremely small flat pancakes with two slices of very overcooked/hard bacon. I was shocked at how small the portion size was and would have complained but my Mother didn't want to draw attention or to wait on a replacement meal as she needed eat. It was just a well she doesn't have a big appetite because the meal was totally unacceptable for half the price. Looking around at the deserts, portion size doesn't look to be an issue normally, with many large slices of cakes on display, so I'm not sure why in this instance the size and quality wasn't up to standard. I would happily have accepted the meal that is displayed on some photo's on Trip Advisor but unfortunately that wasn't what we were served."
