The pub's rolls are disgusting. I do not know anyone who feels differently about them. I have seen many people buy them from sheer desperation, take one bite and then throw the rest away.

They are currently made under licence from Harvest and they are wet, flavourless , difficult to eat and completely without seasoning of any sort.

The pizzas are really good and also really good value, it has to be said. A really nice man makes them too, which is a bonus.

For heaven's sake, can we get Wendy back on the job? I miss her Brie and grape.

I think they're perfectly OK, I eat them regularly. The tastes are different, perhaps, but none the worse for that. And anyone who says they're lacking in flavour clearly hasn't had the sriracha.
Not that Wendy's rolls weren't inordinately better, of course...

Is there any such thing as perfectly 'OK'?
