Oh Psalms, after all that, I hope your brother got the right treatment. LOL
Yes, the Royal Derby is nice, it should be, it cost over £350 million to build. That is until you are a patient, and have to eat the food. I would not feed it to my dog. Not a bit of fresh food in sight. I've never had a fresh egg, let alone any bacon.
I have got wise the the 'menu' by now, and the last time I was in, I existed on porridge, soup and cheese and biscuits. Even the porridge is Ready Brek.
I do not know what passes for a chef these days, but they are certainly not employed there LOLOL
