"Having regularly visited the old Rosebourne for breakfast, and always having been impressed, this morning at 'Hillier ' was a total disappointment. Three of use went for breakfast. The cooked 'Hillier Breakfast ' was no better than a roadside caf. The bacon was fatty and undercooked, the toast was just warm bread, the sausages were cheap, undercooked and nothing like the delicious sausages Rosebourne used to serve, the mushrooms were seemingly tinned/ frozen and the whole meal was just slopped on the plate, swimming in grease. The bacon roll was dry and the portion of toast was thin, measly and hardly toasted. We had to ask for butter, ask for the marmalade we 'd ordered with the toast and the overall wait for food was too long. One of our party had their scone brought to the table a good 20 minutes before the rest of us had our food. Our drinks were more or less finished by the time the hot food came. We 'll not be bothering with breakfast again, it was so disappointing given that it was just shy of £40 for three of us! Hillier have taken over Rosebourne and managed to ruin the restaurant in one fell swoop . . . guess it 's all about the money and profit and less about service and tasty produce!"
