Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Welcome to Petroc Academic Catering - The Taw Restaurant, where hygiene is sparkling clean, but the food seems to be on a permanent lunch break. Sure, the place has a 5-star hygiene rating, but with a Google score of 3.8, it’s a classic case of ‘look but don’t touch’ when it comes to the menu. The reviews highlight the staff’s friendliness, and let’s be real, they need it when the food is about as exciting as a soggy sandwich.
Sure, there are praises for the welcoming atmosphere and tutors, but we’re here for the food, right? The culinary charm seems to have taken a long holiday, leaving diners feeling confused and disappointed. You might get a decent experience from the staff, but don’t expect to leave with a full belly or a happy palate. If you're in dire need of sustenance, it'll fill a hole, but don’t expect a culinary awakening. 🚫
"A great place for adult learning also for adults with learning difficulties"
"The staff are so welcoming. The tutors are both professional, friendly, funny, kind"
"Teachers were nice enough but didn’t actually teach"
