La Bonne Auberge - Glasgow

Popped in here for a few drinks after work one weekday with some colleagues.

Was there for a Sparkling Afternoon Tea with a friend.

I received a telephone call 30 minutes before my booking to state that as a new menu was in operation I could not have my allergen needs met. I asked if food was prepared freshly which it was and instead of a cheese and ham croque monsiuer i required only ham. Unfortunately the young man in charge of customer service was unable to seek guidance about how to meet my allergen requirement. As this was short notice I would therefore have to pay for the full afternoon tea menu even though I could not eat items on it. This lacked flexibility and also seemed unfair. I called back after a few moments to say that I would rather cancel my booking and was left to seek an alternative place at such short notice.

The food could have been warmer. The chicken schnitzel was overcooked, to brown and disguised by cheese. The fries were good and hot.
