The best restaurants serving British food in Taverham South Broadland East of England

Upon entering there was a strong smell and decor to match walking into an elderly person's care home. We were very surprised, however we didn't want to judge as the kitchen aren't in charge in decor so the food could be amazing. When I looked at the Carvery you could clearly see it had been sat there a while. There wasn't much on offer by means of vegetables and the gravy was like water. We went to our tables to still not have our drinks and I looked down at the plate with low expectations. Not one piece of what was on my plate tasted edible. I called the manager over. She asked what was wrong, despite me saying all of it was disgusting, and so I went through every item on my plate: Turkey was dried out and rock hard, gravy was water and light brown, roast potatoes had been reheated and been sat a while and got hard, cauliflower cheese was so hard my fork nor knife will cut it (and I showed her a demonstration) and the cheese sauce is just like the gravy - water, the broccoli was like the cauliflower and the Yorkshire pudding - wow - I've never tasted anything like it. I asked what recipe the chef was using or was his flour severely out of date as it tasted like plasticine from school, like the play-doh and to finish it off the sausages were still pink inside so I didn't feel comfortable eating it considering the state of everything else on my plate. I tried everything on the plate but could not take more than one bite of it, it was that bad.

This restaurant is keeping the garden centre going but not for long unless they improve the food quality,we ordered a bacon roll and a sausage in a roll , the sausage arrived in a sandwich for some reason and we sent it back,both meals were cold,it would seem that the fillings were not cooked to order and were just spare food left to one side waiting to be sold ,otherwise it would have been hot.give your kitchen staff more food quality training.
