"I ordered a Gut Buster, a sausage and bacon baguette, and a sausage roll at Ryder's today, 10/25/2023, around 1:30 pm. I am a local resident of Dawlish, and I used to be a frequent customer of this place. However, after today, I will never use them again. Unfortunately, they completely ruined their reputation for me. Usually, their food is spot on, but today was a different story. After placing my order, I was asked to wait outside and then collect my food from a street side counter, which was not their usual procedure. It turns out they didn't cook the bacon and sausage fresh as they normally do. The bacon was so hard and dry that it could have been used as a surfboard, and the sausage had no taste, like chewing on an old piece of leather boot. The only fresh item in my order was the eggs. Why, Ryder's, why? It seems like they may have had a lunch rush during the school holidays, leading them to increase their prices and overcook the food to keep up with demand. But reheating the bacon and sausage and passing it off as freshly prepared was simply shocking. I even offered the bacon to my dog, who turned his nose up at it, and a seagull choked to death in front of me after trying to eat a piece that got stuck in its throat. I am truly disappointed in the staff for using pre-cooked and kept warm ingredients for my lunch treat."
