London & Middlesex Rifle Association - Camp

The Bisley rifle range is obviously one of if not the best in the UK. With ranges to shoot from 25-1200 yards and the introduction of electric targets meaning you get accurate real time information of where your shots are hitting down range. The armoury hosts a massive variety of weapons and you can do a bit of everything all in one day. So precision shooting at 600 yards and then blat away later at 25 yards with a semi automatic. The staff and members of the NRA are always happy to help and advise from beginners to competwnt shooters that just want a pointer or a chat. It also facilitates an impressive clay pigeon area and numerous restaurant's/ club houses. If you had even ghe vaguest interest in shooting then joining one of ghe many clubs that use this range is an excellent idea.

Attended a dinner on Saturday night hosted by the club's new Head Chef. Absolutely outstanding. Highly recommended and will definitely be eating here every time I'm at Bisley.

Very disappointed with the meal tonight.
The pastie was so hard, it was inedible. It was returned and we were told it had probably been under the heater too long!
Any replacement pie would probably be the same!

We were promptly offered another meal.

Our second choice, scampi arrived. Ample portions of scampi, but most of the chips were again rock hard and inedible, like they’d been over cooked or reheated. There was no presentation to the meal, no garnish, etc, like you would normally expect with this meal, it looked like it had just been thrown onto the plate and served. I am extremely surprised that any cook worth his weight, would send out food in this state!!

Sorry but don’t think we’ll be eating here again.

Have had dinner here quite a few times over more than a decade and been quite satisfied each time. This run of success came to a crashing end on Saturday 15 April 2023 at around 7 o'clock.

My order was liver and bacon with vegetables. The liver was completely over-cooked and moving rapidly to becoming a mass of crumbs. The bacon was nicely firm, but completely tasteless. Of the veg, the mashed potato had been left on a plate keeping warm for so long that it was left with a hard, yellow crust and resembled an overcooked German dumpling. The carrots were very thin, clearly out of a tin and had the texture of ...., well I really don't know what. They were just an unpleasant concoction of watery red pulp. The cauliflower did give a passable impression of a decently cooked fresh vegetable, though marred by the separate piece of the core that was several minutes cooking short of al dente.

OK, so for a main dish at £8 you do not expect cordon bleu, but this even fell short of value for money, except for someone without a taste bud in their mouth. For future visits to the camp we'll try anywhere and everywhere else, in the hope that in time the L&M can be restored to their former standard.

This is a review of the bar and restaurant.

Previously, it was my go to place for lunch when shooting at Bisley. Food had a decent range, portions were sensible at reasonable price and staff were friendly. The bar hasn't changed much.

Since covid though the restaurant has gone downhill. My experience during my last couple of visits:

Visit 1, a couple of months ago: ordered something vegetarian on the menu, was told after a while it was unavailable. Was asked if I'd want a broccoli pasta bake or something ... I accepted. A very short while later a plate was brought out. It looked like a previously cooked meal had been frozen and reheated in the microwave. Pasta was hard enough that I'd not wanted to risk damaging my teeth.

The most recent visit , yesterday, I ordered a tuna baguette quite early on whilst the restaurant was not busy, just before peak time. After my order several people placed orders for more complicated dishes....I watched all those dishes come out of the kitchen and be served. I asked what had happened to my baguette. Initially I was told that due to a sudden influx of orders it was delayed but getting out there (suggests to me they didn't serve food in the order the request came in but in reverse order, which makes no sense). Then they told me there was no baguettes left (so sounds like they served people that ordered after me all the baguettes) I ordered fries instead and asked for a refund. I was then approached with a plate of panini ... Trying to convince me that the panini was a baguette, whilst setting it besides several plates of paninis, I stated that that was not a baguette, it was a panini. The waitress responded with "no, paninis are flatter... A colleague of mine pointed to his plate and said he'd ordered a panini and they looked identical. Normally, I'd have accepted that as a substitute....if asked...but given I wasn't asked and then they tried to convince me it was what I had requested, I turned it away on principle and asked for the fries and refund.

About 10 mins later, still no refund. I approached the counter and asked where it was... The lady told me I had to get that at the bar.. my response "surely you need to speak to the bar to authorise it ..I don't think I can just randomly go up and ask for a refund".

In the end, I did get my refund, but it seems I would not have done unless I pursued it. I cancelled the order on fries...an item the usually had ready to be served...so a 10 min wait makes no sense...my lunch at this place yesterday consisted of a packet of crisps and a packet of peanuts.

Only come here if you love sexy barstaff. They will get your food order wrong. And they have to keep returning to your table to get it right. But that's the goal. Lycra leggings how they should be worn. Over a sexy figure almost transparent. Not stretched over those fat mummas like a stocking stretched over turkey and giblets.

Only popped in for the BFTO AGM but it's a lovely facility. Great amount of history on the walls
