Oh good grief no ... we have a F&B near us ...

On nearly every outing at kleast one of us has had to send the food back because it was cold after sitting at the pass for ages, or on one occasion the chicken looked like it was still able to cluck .... I thought the burgers were very dry and needed loads of relish just to get them down ... and one christmas both of us had to send our main courses back because we could not get the knife through them.

I am led to believe however that our F&B is below par ... I just wish some friends who live near a different F&B (and always rave on about it) would stop sending us vouchers for it.

I am with u Ken, my nephew has taken me to the one in Edinburgh and Dunfermline and I have never had a good meal on either, and we have. Tried them several times. Flora x

We sometimes stay at a Holiday Inn Express en route to Southampton & have been to F&B's there, never had a problem with the food

I have to ask... Why do you keep going?

All my family love FB it's often there choice when choosing going for somewhere to eat, especially the grand children.

As much as I love burgers don't think I have ever had one in FB or for that matter on a cruise ship. I like those from my local kebab shop.

Lorraine loves FB spaghetti bolognaise, my son and his wife loves the pizza's .

I love the "2 courses for £10" deal they do (including Friday nights).

Considering that the cheapest burger on the menu is about £9 I think, it represents great value - despite the restricted options available.

Lorraine and our daughter recently had a night out together for a quick meal followed by the Les Mis film, they chose FB for the meal.

Lorraine had a garlic bread pizza, followed by her spag bog.

Actually I think they shared the pizza as their starter.

One of our sons worked in the Environmental Science arena during the MCD / BSE period, the tales he could tell, we still eat and enjoy burgers but almost exclusively only those we have minced and made ourselves from quality grade meat.

For £9 Mobietta could make ... maybe a dozen quarter pounders, albeit extra for the cheese and one sided bun

Best burger I ever had was a minute Aberdeen Angus fillet burger served as an h'orderves in a Michelin 1 star restaurant.

The flavour texture and juiciness was something else.

...though I doubt we'll be seeing those at a P&O poolside bar anytime soon!

Aberdeen Angus is certainly hard to beat but the Ecoli 105 it is prone to is a real life threatener.

I do hope I haven't put anybody off their burgers

I have to admit - and please forgive me Romig as I know you are a connoisseur of poolside burgers but I didn't get a chance to try them on the first cruise

our next cruise is for 12 days so more time and more opportunity to rectify that and then I will report back. Are the burgers charged for or freebies?

Because friends keep giving us vouchers for them and I have never had the heart to tell them that the one near us is rubbish ... I currently have about £80 of vouchers in my safe ... and I live in hope that maybe they will get a new chef, new kitchen staff, new menu, new management and new waitresses and it will be fine.

Invigi, the burgers are included from the poolside grills.

You could never put me off from eating burgers, even burgers from Tesco's, although I do tend to buy their in house made burgers.

Couldn't resist quoting from OBF's offering in last Friday's "Mornin' All"

Reading the label on these Tesco burgers.... it turns out they're fairly low in fat, but surprisingly high in Shergar

Is it a coincidence that 'hamburgers' is an anagram of Shergars Bum ?

I happen to know of a certain person on here who is attached to a man on a parachute who went on a two week cruise and had a burger nearly every day of the cruise..... dont believe a word he says....

I believe I know that person too - and might have even been on the same cruise as him quite recently!!
