i must say the sunday lunch i had was quite disappointing. the pork was terribly dry, similar to cardboard. roast potatoes looked to have been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended time and lost all crispness. i found myself picking through a lot of fat to get a small amount of beef (this was annoying!).
