Went to the Hub for some post Inners and GT vitals and there's a wee sign saying "out of rolls", the person in front of me asks for a bacon roll and they say sorry no rolls, i then ask for a bacon sandwich, and they again say sorry no rolls, no says i, i want bacon between 2 slices of bread, we can't do that.
so i had to have a flapjack (which was very nice).
Anyway, surely the bread product is irrelevant, you don't buy a bacon roll for the roll, you buy it for the of bacon in a convenient grease catching, yet edible, holder.
I mean, coming from the country that invented the deep fried marsbar and pizza crunch, you'd think this wouldn't be too hard a leap of the imagination?
They'd buy saturated fat in a can if someone thought to produce it!!!!
i was so insensed and furious that i bought and ate an entire packet of pork scratchings. then had a curry when i got home, i feel a little unwell.
GT was mobbed today. Which I didn't mind as I stood waiting trying to figure what to eat I came to the conclusion that The Hub is a rip off. £2 for a slice of millionares shortbread? £3.20 for beans on toast? I left.
the Hub hasn't been worth eating in since they stopped doing Bacon bagguettes. (hasn't stopped me mind)
I couldn't get a roll and Lorne sausage at 1330. Gutted.
FWIW I don't think The Hub is particularly expensive (and given how busy it is they could easily charge more). They serve quality stuff and I'd rather pay a pound extra for nice beans and a tasty egg on decent bread and a decent coffee than save a pound and eat crap stuff I'd never cook for myself.
If you don't like the prices you can BYO or go elsewhere.
I did go elsewhere. They serve good food, I'm not denying that, but it's no better than anywhere else. And a portion of beans on toast I got at one of the Welsh trail centres was vast and cheaper in comparison.
How much would petrol from Glentress to Glyncorwig be though?
Presumably more than the difference between the beans and toast?
