So myself and my daughter both woke up early enough to head into town to get a few birthday surprises for her, money is tight at the moment so I hadn’t planned to do a big family get together as we normally would, once my daughter got herself some nice jewellery in town we phoned my mum and asked if she fancied meeting us for food. The exchange was our first choice my mum goes regularly in fact she’s there again this week for Xmas lunch with friends, my daughter has never been here. We did hotlist a couple of other places just in case they couldn’t find us a table as the Xmas dinners were in full swing. Fortunately we were able to get a table straight away without having to wait. We were quickly served our drinks and a complimentary bottle of cold fresh water and ordered our food, we chose not to order starters and this made the wait for mains seem a bit longer than usual but bearing in mind the place was rammed and the food cooked fresh to order it wasn’t any time at all, the truth was the whole meal from entering the exchange and leaving was only just over an hour My daughter was saying how she was super hungry and starving yet the portion size was just far too much for her and she took a lot of it home in a doggy bag, she had also asked for the gravy on her steak sandwich to be swapped out for her favourite sauce ! Peppercorn sauce, my mum ordered her as per the menu and I went for my trusted favourite everywhere I go a good Caledonian chicken, or as the exchange calls it supreme of chicken with peppercorn sauce. I don’t notice if it said seasonal veg on the menu I’m assuming it did as the dreaded Brussels were on my plate lol I’d have preferred some broccoli but I just put them to the side and apart from them I cleared my plate ! I was very surprised I managed the whole lot as my appetite of late is akin to a small child’s portion but nope polished the lot off. As we had birthday cake in the car and the brothers meeting us at grans we didn’t order deserts on this occasion. The food and the service were great and the Christmas decorations were absolutely beautiful

My friend had purchased a voucher for afternoon tea with Prosecco. In fairness the staff were nice, but the selection of cakes was pretty poor and certainly not what they show on their website. 1 tiny piece of carrot cake/ginger cake/ old school cake. 1 strawberry tart. A pinky sized eclair (looked straight from Costco IMO) and a bite size doughnut. They had provided 2 scones, but no-one had left out clotted cream…pointless. The sandwiches were, quite frankly, rotten. In fact the ham sandwich had no butter. All in all it felt like an afterthought. My friend felt so terrible that this lovely gift she had purchased had turned out to be so poor. Really not a good look 1808…not when similar establishments elsewhere do so much better.
