"I ordered a breakfast and I asked if they could swap the beans (which I don 't like for mushrooms, and was told it was company policy that you can delete an item for free (how generous of them! but if you want to swap an item they charge it as a side order. When the breakfast arrived it consisted of two tiny rashers of tough bacon with about 5mm of meat on them, 1 sausage, half a small tomato, a little bucket of beans (which I didn 't want anyway and an absolutely tiny portion of mushrooms. Then when the waiter came to do that insincere box-ticking 5 minute check back thing they all do these days where they clumsily interrupt you mid-conversation to ask Is everything ok? without giving a toss how you answer, I told him that I thought the portions were stingy, the breakfast was overpriced, the company policy on swapping items was petty and inflexible and the portion of mushrooms was tiny, his answer to this was that the mushrooms shrink when they are grilled (so just grill more of them then, eh? . Anyway.... £10 for this breakfast was over the top and I presume they only justify it by the pretentious faux artisan ambience of the place as the money clearly hasn 't been spent on the mismatched car boot sale-esque furniture or customer service training courses. They have their policy on swapping items but I have a policy of leaving poor reviews for establishments where they would rather save a few pence than keep a customer happy."

"This review covers my experience eating their peanut butter and jelly burger and the experience my son (3.5) had with his childs vegetarian burger. But if you don 't want to read the full review: My peanut butter and jelly burger 4.5/5 My sons vegetarian burger 0/5 I was looking to take my son to Society Standard next door to have some Mac n Cheese, but theyvwere closed because it was a bank holiday. I saw the Got Beef sign, which I 'd ordered from for takeaway before but never eaten in, and thought yes, I could do with a burger . I went inside and it was empty because I think they 'd just recently opened and I was greeted pleasently, and I asked if they did kids food and they said they did. We sat down and they brought us the menu and I quickly found the childrens option, which was a beef or chicken burger, fries, a juice and an ice lolly. My son is vegitarian so I asked if there was a vegetarian option and the waiter said that the children 's option included a veggie burger, so I ordered that. For myself, I asked about the peanut butter and jelly burger, because I didn 't want to order it over the Soprano if it was going to ruin my meal, and the waiter convinced me to try it. The pb&j burger was great. Taste was brilliant. I 'd give it a 5/5 if it was a little bigger (the bacon comically stuck out of the burger both sides by about an inch). My sons food was a different story. He started by eaten all his fries since the burger was too hot to eat, which is frequently the case when you order food for children in a restaraunt. When it finally cooled down, he had some and after two bites threw his hands to his mouth in panic. I tried the burger and I realised it was really spicy. I like spicy food, but I was genuinely suprised by how aggressive the spice was for something that a child was meant to eat. I would have happily eaten this burger if I wanted something spicy. When the waiter came over to ask how everything was, I said mine was great but veggie burger wasn 't suitable for a child. The waiter apologised and said she 'd tell her manager. The manager came out and said that the burger my son had was the one they 'd been serving children for ages and they 'd never had any complaints. He also said that it says on the menu that it is a spicy burger. In that moment I didn 't trust my memory that it wasn 't on the menu, but I double checked afterwards and it isn 't there. He offered me 50% off so I didn 't argue, since it 's not like it would change the meal. What I didn 't realise is that he 'd taken 50% off the kids meal, which considering I would have gone somewhere else where my son could eat his whole meal had I have known they serve a very spicy burger to kids, wasn 't actually that reasonable. I took a picture of the menu on the way out to evidence this. I thought maybe the manager might have thought I 'd deliberatly ordered the spicy burger and been mistaken, but actually reminded me the kids meal comes with the ice lolly before I paid. Another possibility is that they gave my son a spicy burger in error, but the manager again specifically said it was a spicy burger (and advertised as such on the menu, which it isn 't), so I 'm baffled. So yes, great burger if you 're a meat eating adult, terrible burger if you 're a 3.t year old vegetarian."
