Wagamama Silverburn - a tale of caution!

Mr F and I found ourselves down at the Silverburn neck of the woods recently.

As we were about to embark on a Tesco shop (an activity we both find traumatic and usually leave the shop with our relationship in tatters) we decided to fuel up beforehand.



So we headed into Wagamama, got a seat and got menu perusing!



I ordered the Ebi Gyoza and Chicken Raisukare, Mr.F went for Duck Gyoza and Yaki Soba. So far so good, or that’s what we thought!



So after a wee while, I comment to Mr.F saying that its unusual for food to sit out, whilst I eyed up a plate that had been lying on the counter for over 5 minutes. The waitress then picked this up and put it in front of me.

Lukewarm but tasty…












However, I soon realised that as tasty as my £10 treat was, there were two bits of chicken in it! Which I was bit peeved at, so I spoke to waitress who arranged to get me some more chicken cooked and some extra sauce. She did offer to take it and get a fresh one for me, but the hunger pangs kept me gripping tightly onto the plate that contained that rich cocnutty sauce!



So disaster one, kind of averted.



Then came the sized. They were rock solid and inedible. They really were a perfect waste of good food.

That was disaster two!














Then came disaster 3! Mr.F’s lunch arrived. It looked a wee bit darker than usual but seemed ok. However once he began eating it, it became clear that the chef had burnt the oil that it had been cooked in, giving the whole dish a burnt smoky flavour. It was also very sparse on the meat too!

He was getting rather pissed off at this point, and my taking pictures of things didn’t help, so I have no picture of his meal unfortunately!



As we were about to say to some staff, we heard the manager screeching on her way past “is that the 6th ‘hing to get sent back in 5 minutes”. Just as the girl next to us sent her meal back.


Tesco shop looming, we decided to quit while we were ahead and give up on the whole fiasco!


I have however emailed Wagamama today, to see what they have to say for themselves.



Hopefully I shall be following this up with a ‘aren’t they lovely…’ post!
