The Pavillion Coffee House And Brasserie

We recently had lunch at this restaurant and were quite disappointed. We ordered a ham and Brie sandwich with a side of chips. The ham was processed and very thin, and the cheese lacked flavor. The chips were also underwhelming. Overall, it was not the best meal we have had. This cafe used to be one of our favorites and we have been loyal customers for many years, but it seems to have changed for the worse. We used to enjoy a cafetière of coffee, but were informed that they no longer serve it.

The turkey ciabatta was actually filled with fatty pork, which was not very pleasant. The restaurant should have been more transparent about the ingredients. However, they did refund the item from the bill, which was appreciated.

The first time that we've had a poor meal here. We both had a turkey lunch and I've never had turkey like it. It was tough and gristley with little or no flavour and was extremely disappointing.

I had a small fish and chips which was fine but the amount of chips served with the meal was in my opinion minimal. Also the side salad with the jacket potato was basic

Luckily for us, the restaurant was quieter than usual so we managed to get a table! Specials menu was good and included new and interesting food. I ordered lasagne , swapping the garlic bread for chips without a problem. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Peroni is lovely and cold! A great pint. Lots of staff, all very busy. Best meal we have had at The Pavilion so far.
