I visited the India lodge on Sunday of the bank holiday.they had a buffet on. The first thing I observed was a lack of choice.The selection being very limited. Then when they opened the lids no steam was emitted, and I questioned how hot it was, but I was told that it was at the correct temperature. I had to wait for more rice. I helped myself to a plate full, only to find that it was nearly cold. When I complained, they first of all appeared surprised, then said it may have been due to some power cuts. They eventually re-heated it for me. The food was bland, and it was only the fact that I was very hungry that I didn't just leave. I am diabetic and obviously have to eat regularly. When it came to paying I did not have sufficient cash so I offered a debit card. They scornfully told me that I had not spent enough for a card, the bill was £8.95. There was no notice displayed in the restaurant and they didn't think that it was necessary to do this. They eventually, reluctantly agreed to accept the card. The card machine refused to accept my pin, and they said that I hadn't pushed the button to verify if I wanted to give a tip. Their arrogance was paramount. I declined a tip.About 8 hours after eating I started getting stomach pains, and i was extremely ill on Monday. Spoilt my holiday.Clive Porter
