Brasserie Blanc (Milton Keynes)

When you main dishes are taken away uneaten , the bill cancelled, free drinks desert and coffees offered and meal vouchers given, something has gone badly wrong.

On Christmas Eve 2009 6 of us arrived at our booked time of 8pm , we waited 5 minutes to be seated at 8:25 our drinks orders were chased up. at 8:40 our food orders were taken . At 9:00 our starters arrived and were well presented and cooked, at 9:40 our main courses were served , the sea bream was very overcooked (we had seen it waiting ) , my calves liver was cold and raw, the steak ordered well done was bloody ,

the medium well was bleu and cold. One portion of fries was well cooked but two were completely raw , white, cold and oily.

The front of restaurant manager was extremely helpful , took away our food and returned to say that the food was completely undercooked. She offered to have it recooked but then at 10:00 pm the kitchen closed , lights off and staff gone.

So we left hungry and annoyed , it was Christmas Eve but if the service is this bad they should not have opened.

In February my father went back with one 10 pound voucher for lunch, he had the calves liver with roast vegetables. The calves liver was overcooked (school dinners) and the vegetables had been cooked for so long they were a mush of indistinguishable items.

The bill with a glass of red was 24 Pounds , less ten for the coupon. In his words it was not worth 8.

A pity and this contrasts markedly with good meals we have had in the surrounding villages.
