Quality of food I feel…

Quality of food I feel is very poor for the prices charged. Evening meal, the hotist item on the plate was the mustard, breakfast, I was second to be served, eggs look warm, black and white pudding less than look warm, sausages just warm. Is the truckers lounge the same quality? If it is I am surprised that they haven't wracked the place. Room for improvement at little cost.
