Really Poor Service & Not Nice Food
We love Churros so what a find to see the van at McArthur Glen, Cannock in the West Midlands. We made it our last stop before going back to the car so we could eat them before setting off for home. However, that was the best part of this experience, the anticipation! Let's start with placing our order. We wanted a regular with cinnamon and chocolate sauce, 3 filled with dulce de leche, a looped love with dulce de leche and a diet coke. We were at first served by one team member, but another did not know how to make a hot chocolate for a different customer, so following a discussion, they changed roles. We placed our order, but then there was no way of knowing whose order was being called because there was no number and several people ordered the same thing, so no one knew whose order was being called. I figured we would know because we had three items plus a drink. But no, instead of sorting our order in full, the regular churros were called first. Some 7 or 8 minutes later, we still didn't have the rest of the order, which meant the regular was by now cold. They then started on the remainder of our order after my husband asked why they did not complete one order at a time. He also asked for the regular to be redone as they were now stone cold. We were told that will be another five minutes, whilst the filled and the looped were now done and getting cold. They also forgot the drink. To top it off, these were the worst churros we have ever eaten; they were undercooked and soggy, almost like they had been rushed to complete the many orders they had taken. The staff were not friendly and not apologetic about the delay in parts of the order, the cold churros that needed to be redone or the drink that had been forgotten. No one actually knew what our order was, so potentially, we could have said three drinks as there were three of us, and they would have been none the wiser. This was a very disappointing experience that we would not want to repeat.
