long wait swiss roll
the food tasted ok, i suppose. the burger looked alright.
i tried to book online, you know, like a normal person. it said nothing was free until 2pm. i walked in and half the place was empty. the burger tasted like onions and gherkins had a fight, and gherkins won. i waited ages for dessert, then some dude told me there would be a 40 minute wait for a swiss roll. seriously?
