Complete turn around and not for the best

Have been going here for a long time. Great food, ample portions, great ambience and really good value. Obviously everyone else thought the same as it was always crowded. So what happened? Came back this morning. Menu had all changed and prices up substantially. When asked why response was 'menu was 3 years old and tired and needed a change'. Kept an open mind and ordered 'better than benny' and a friend 'smoked salmon' (now with scrambled egg not poached)'. Food was very ordinary. I had a poach

Have been going here for a long time. Great food, ample portions, great ambience and really good value. Obviously everyone else thought the same as it was always crowded. So what happened? Came back this morning. Menu had all changed and prices up substantially. When asked why response was 'menu was 3 years old and tired and needed a change'. Kept an open mind and ordered 'better than benny' and a friend 'smoked salmon' (now with scrambled egg not poached)'. Food was very ordinary. I had a poached egg on a chunk of tasteless tomato (really thick - bizarre combination frankly). Also the bacon was cold and obviously precooked a long time before hand. In the other dish the scrambled egg had made the bread soggy and the salmon was half as much as you used to get. Asked when paying why prices had gone up and received a short response of 'cost of food has gone up and so have employment costs'. Response to our questions was also quite off putting (didnt really care frankly). Now a place for ordinary food at a high cost. Really disappointing
