[Albion] Yet another Amex food complaint
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Well.....To be even more pedantic, the Latin plural of prospectus is prospectus. But the usual English plural is prospectuses. Prospecti is just wrong .... as any fule kno
Would that bring it back to 4-1 ?

I don’t get the hyperbole about Uncle Sam's on NSC. Admittedly, I’ve sampled their wares only from the Eastbourne outlet, and possibly this is an outlier. It was decent enough, and I have been back a second time, but I couldn’t understand the hype I’m afraid. That said, I agree that the Amex offering is dreadful. I tried one last season and will never make that mistake again.
My other whinge about the Amex catering is that the outlets (ESU, anyway) never have in stock the stuff they advertise. The menu/pricelist above the counter always highlights something — Special Magic Mushroom Pie! Or whatever. But when I ask for one, they’ve no idea what I’m talking about.

Haven’t tried the Eastbourne one so maybe you got unlucky. The Montpelier one is outstanding

I now have visions of you being taunted by opposition fans at a football match with a chorus of "Who are you, who are you" and you basically not having a scooby doo!

They are franchised, so quality may vary from branch to branch. As @jcdenton08 correctly observes, the Montpelier Street one is outstanding, and always has been.
The closest one to my dwelling is Shoreham, the one opposite Southlands. It is also very good, but my only MILD complaint is that they tend to put copious amounts of ice-cold salad onto a hot burger. Which means when I get home, it is in need of a quick zap from Mike. I do tend to say "easy on the salad hombre" these days, which goes some way towards alieviating the issue. I do like some lettuce and red onion though. I'm not an animal.

Do you know, I’ve had the exact same issue at other branches, but never Montpelier St! It’s gotten to the point where I order the double chili cheeseburger
with just onion now and avoid the ice cold lettuce scenario.I make it sound like I have it all the time, but living in Seaford and relying on public transport, I don’t go as often as I would like. But my arteries are thankful I think

Likewise. It is just an occasional treat, sometimes if I happen to be passing it.Do you know, I’ve had the exact same issue at other branches, but never Montpelier St! It’s gotten to the point where I order the double chili cheeseburger

My go-to is generally a double cheeseburger with extra cheese. But sometimes - sometimes - I will have a double hawaiian burger with cheese.
There. I said it.

Very much so. Burgess Hill is consistently good whereas the two in Worthing have been dire the last couple of times I tried.
Montpelier was their first shop, and still the best. I probably go less than once a year and while the staff change they tend to be both aware and proud of this.
Pricing difference is a few pence. the mark up is purely down to the seller.Which bit? My psychic powers are not working this evening

Weren't we winning awards in our first few seasons at the Amex for our food and catering? What's gone wrong?!
I occasionally pop to US’s in Lancing as it’s close-ish.
Haven’t been for a while but always been a simple but well cooked burger with no fuss or fumble.
It’s the sort of fast food I like.

Uncle Sam’s is incredibly overrated on here. Maybe 20 years ago you would have looked at Uncle Sam’s as a half decent option for a burger. But pretty every specialised burger place trumps uncle Sam’s these days.

Smoque and Buddies are better in the Hill in my experience
