We used to love going to the Waters Edge in Ruislip (by the Lido) for the carvery. It was always cheap but nice food. We went there on a Wednesday Evening a few weeks ago and it was awful. The meat was so dry that it was hard, the vegetables were dried up, soggy roast potatoes and the gravy was a congealed blob !! There was no cutlery and despite asking we ended up finding some ourselves. No wonder the place was empty.
We thought it might have been a one off bad night and went back on a Sunday - it was busier but the food was just as bad. Over cooked & left on the hot plates to dry out. We won't be going there again !!
I went there a few weeks ago after a bike ride and the although the pie looked dry it was lovely on the inside and range of veg and choice of potatoes was great.
Now as mentioned earlier we had cycled there on the Celandine route from West Drayton and eventually through the woods so was fairly tired, hungry, cold and extremely muddy so after all that my overall state may have clouded my judgment.
Don't think I would choose go there for a meal, I tend to like the vintage inn chains
