I called at Substation today for the second time since it opened, it opened around the same time as Subway did in Middleton, of course taking off the name "Subway" to make "Substation" and the logo of course takes off the London Underground logo, which once again likes into the name of it being a "Subway" The menu here is quite big, they sell mainly breakfasts, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. This was my second visit to the store as I said, firstly when I called in, just after it was opened I was pleased with the service and satisifed with my gluten free sandwich, albeit the food quality wasn't fantastic it was okay, just okay. The bread used I am told is from a bakery, although it is typical prepacked gluten free bread when they do have it in. This is pretty much an average local cafe, not a typicla restauraunt, with metal tables and quite cheap feelings around it, such as the menu simply just being laminated paper, and the salt and pepper pots etc being on a cental table rather than on each and every table, you order at the counter also. My second visit, I ordered a jacket potato with tuna crunch and cheese, of course with salt, pepper and butter and I was quite upset with the quality, the quantity of the toppings was very poor, and even the quality of them was as well, my potato just tasted bland, it was dry and I had to leave some of it because of that, which was a shame because I was hungry and I hate seeing food go to waste, but because of the awful, dry taste I just couldn't stomach it. My friend ordered a bacon and egg sandwich after being told they were out of turkey, and the only chicken they had was Teryaki Chicken, which didn't look very nice, even the waitress had to look at it twice to be able to work out what it is, it simply looked thick and disgusting. My friend later went on to complain about the quality of both her bacon and the eggs, and mentioned the only good thing was the bread, of course this is expected coming from a bakery, but surely there is no point having good bread without good fillings too? The overall service wasn't fantastic either, and the food was quite cheap but sadly due to the overall feel inside, for example the floor level is uneven and slight cheapness in the decor in some areas (albeit in some they have made it look nice on a budget), while also considering the poor standard of food, I sadly feel Substation lacks any feel of originality, with the name being unoriginal and taking off something else and the food standing out but for all the wrong reasons, hence deserving a single one star rating. UPDATE: After this visit, I decided to come back again to try them out again, giving Substation another chance having an issue in the past with food quality, and sadly I was once again upset with the quality of my food. I ordered a jacket potato with tuna crunch and cheese filling, and I found the quality of it all to be quite poor, with a very low amount of toppings on my potato, which in all tasted really dry and a little hard, and it really wasn't too enjoyable which was a real shame.
