Advantages: none

Disadvantages: unedible food

I have just had lunch in the Barrow in Furness 'Weatherspoons.'

It is furnished really nicely with old pictures of the town scattered around the walls and three areas of seating some normal tables and a few higher tables near the windows.

The menu was quite extensive but I decided to have the special lunch for 4.95 with a free drink.

There was a choice of burger in a toasted bun with salad and chips, breaded fish and chips or a veggie burger with salad and chips, drinks were a pint of lager or soft drink so not bad value.

I opted for the burger and a diet coke I would have had the lager but alas I was driving.

The meal came after fifteen minutes and looked quite presentable with a good portion of chips and a thick chunky burger in a round bun with salad. A nice touch was a pot of tomato relish.

The chips were dry and tasted as if they had been cooked in dirty oil, inspecting the burger I noticed that the lettuce was bruised as if it had been in quite a few burgers served before mine and left on the plate.

The meal was not going very well at this point, I cut into the burger with difficulty because it was dry and resembled a piece of leather it tasted bitter and had a hint of the dirty oil like the chips. To be quite honest I got the impression that it had been cooked and then reheated to order.

Needless to say I left my meal and vowed never to eat there again.

I don't like to completely slate a restaurant but the meal here was bad, if they cannot get even chips right I don't think that anything else on the menu would be very nice to eat either.

I did visit the toilets and found them to be immaculate so maybe I will enter this establishment again if I am in that part of the town and need to spend a penny but not to eat.

Summary: Avoid this place for a meal.
