"Take your own food in"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I was going to DMH for tests and I was ill prepared and didn't take any food with me! Very over priced each item individually or priced so if you get a piece of pie potatoes and veg and gravy and a drink, it works out to be over £6.00 . Considering you can get two meals in a pub for £8.00 it's overpriced for a hospital canteen. My husband wanted a sandwich but there was no staff to serve him one, I felt sorry for the poor person running around trying to serve everyone, they said it is like that all the time as they never have enough staff.. Take your own lunch in because your not missing much..
