A sad plastic plate, shrivelled sausages, overcooked eggs and congealed beans wasn't exactly what I'd expected when I visited the Asda café on Smithdown Road, but it's what I got.
Many supermarkets have in-house cafés and, usually, they're pretty darn good. You're not going to get Michelin-star ingredients or a fine dining experience, but there's often a hearty menu of much-loved classics at reasonable prices.
With that in mind, I decided to visit the Asda café - Express Diner - on Smithdown Road one cold, snowy morning, seeking some comfort food on a budget - is anyone else counting down the days until payday?
