My boyfriend and I were meeting some friends for lunch, we opted for Whiteley because it was halfway driving time for us. I have been to a couple of Frankie & Bennys before, one in Gunwharf and one in Newquay and picked here because they generally do good food. It also was a change from the usual chains. I booked a table in advance online for the 4 of us, we were all looking forward to it. It wasn't very busy and there was plenty of staff however service was very slow and frankly they didn't seem bothered by our custom. My boyfriend and friend ordered the combo for the starter, barely anything on the plate to show it was a starter, let alone a combo and it was an expensive combo. Twice we asked for the blue cheese dip to come with the starter and we had to ask again when the starters came. Our server disappeared on a break and then left to go home but didn't hand over to any of the other staff so it was really tricky to get anyone's attention, even at paying time. Food disappointedly was average, had to ask for Parmesan even though all four of us having pasta dishes, my Spaghetti Bolognaise lacked real depth, the lasagne looked appealing but an odd taste. We were going to have pudding, I was looking forward to it but no staff paying notice,no one asked if we wanted pudding and we waited so long, we just didn't bother with pudding and i had to go up and tell them we wanted to pay up because again no one came over. We wandered round the shops afterwards, such a shame about lunch, shame I didn't read the other reviews before booking and maybe the usual places are best sticking too.
