Good Pensioner' Special deal sunk by the meat

On Saturday, 4 February 2023, my partner and I (both pensioners) had an evening meal at Indigo Spur, Waterstone Village in Somerset West. We opted for the Pensioners Special of a 150 g steak, which included an Americano and an ice cream. We chose medium-rare sirloin on the waitron's advice from the kitchen that the sirloin was more tender than the rump that evening. First disappointment: Our sirloins were definitely more on the rare side than medium-rare. We decided to soldier on without comment as we didn't have time to wait for new pieces. Second (BIG) disappointment: The sirloin I had had a significant piece of sinew/tendon down one side that needed a surgical scalpel to remove - the blunt steak knife hardly made an impression. In addition, they were of the toughest pieces of sirloin we've ever had. The deal of a steak plus coffee plus ice cream was a certainly good one at the price. But it was sunk by the quality of the meat. I had to wonder if Spur (or at least some of the franchises) keep the worst cuts for the pensioners because they are paying less. If anything, we should get some of the better cuts. Spur can do better than this.
