点评:Went to the luncheon ‘Best of the West End’ show on a coach trip. Arrived just after 12. Lovely building with an old music hall/theatre vibe but that’s where the excitement ended. We were Slightly disappointed by our seats as had our backs to the stage but were told we’d be finished our food before the show started.
Table I was the last to be served…lukewarm tomato soup in a plastic bowl. Mine had globules in it like it hadn’t been stirred properly.
It was getting on for 13:30 before we were last to get served our main course. Breaded chicken with a tiny bit of sauce, carrots that looked like they’d come from one of those microwave bags (zero honey roasting going on) and a few new potatoes. Again served on a plastic plate and not particularly hot. Advertised as a ‘sumptuous 3 course dinner’….sorry but it definitely was not that.
We were still eating when the lights went out and the music and singing started.
The music drowned out the singing. I couldn’t make out any of the words on tracks I didn’t know (and there were lots from less well known musicals)
The performers (and serving staff) kept having to squeeze through next to our table to get in/out and I found this rather annoying and I wasn’t sitting right on the end!
The sumptuous dessert of 3 profiteroles served on a plastic plate was served in the interval.
The only thing that worked well was using the Qr code to order/pay for drinks.
Event finished at 16:30 and it’s not something I’ll be repeating any time soon!
翻译:坐长途汽车去观看午餐会“西区最佳表演”。刚过 12 点就到了。建筑很漂亮,有古老的音乐厅/剧院氛围,但兴奋感也就到此为止了。我们对自己的座位有点失望,因为我们背对着舞台,但被告知在演出开始前我们会吃完饭。
一号桌是最后上菜的……塑料碗里装着温热的番茄汤。我的碗里有小球,好像没有搅拌好。
快到 13:30 时,我们才最后上主菜。裹着面包屑的鸡肉加了一点酱汁,胡萝卜看起来像是从微波炉袋里拿出来的(没有蜂蜜烘烤)和一些新土豆。同样盛在塑料盘子里,不是特别热。广告上说是“丰盛的三道菜晚餐”……抱歉,但绝对不是。
灯灭了,音乐和歌声响起时,我们还在吃饭。
音乐淹没了歌声。我听不清任何我不认识的曲目的歌词(而且有很多来自不太知名的音乐剧)
表演者(和服务人员)不得不挤过我们桌子旁边才能进出,我觉得这很烦人,而且我坐在桌子的末端!
中场休息时,我们享用了盛在塑料盘子里的 3 个泡芙组成的丰盛甜点。
唯一好用的是使用二维码订购/支付饮料。
活动在 16:30 结束,我不会再重复这种活动了!
