I’m in a hurry! Where’s the food?

London is the most magical city to go to! With it’s great West End shows, shops and great places to eat.
However you expect on a Friday that it’s going to be manic. After watching the delightful show Dirty Dancing as a birthday treat we left at 5:00 thinking we had time to spare. “Don’t worry [...]

Age Indiscretion

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I recently ate at your restaurant, and I was highly disappointed with the service and food when I visited. My friends and I dined at “Café Rialto” on the 14th of March to celebrate my birthday. I was rather looking forward to my meal, as I have lunched at “Rialto” before, with my [...]

The Giddy Bridge, Wetherspoons

I visited your above mentioned establishment on Tuesday February 23rd 2010 with family and friends for a meal. Upon placing my food order I stated to the nice young girl behind the bar that I suffer from an allergy to peppers which can cause an anafalactic shock and therefore asked her specifically to notify the kitchen of this allergy. However when my meal arrived I was horrified to see that the salsa ketchup provided with my meal contained peppers despite my specific meal order for no peppers.

Your resteraunt is a disgrace

Dear sir / madam
I am writing to criticize the way your restaurant is set, last week I went to your restaurant and couldn’t sit on my seat as it was too small, I don’t know if your attempting to compensate on something but I feel that unless you order chairs for adults and not children [...]

Waiter!

Dear Sir
I am writing with immense thanks to you for your perpetual rudeness yesterday evening when my partner and I dined at your top class restaurant. My thanks may seem insincere especially in light of the unceremonious manner in which you ejected us from the afore mentioned establishment yet they are heartfelt and tinged with [...]

Curry and Football!!!

The cuisine and ambiance at Ganges had been highly recommended to my husband from a work colleague, so we decided on impulse to dine at our closest restaurant which happened to be in Ringmer. Please note, this was not the recommended one. We arrived at about 8.15pm and were quite shocked when we walked in. We were greeted by a flat screen tv facing the diners playing football!!!

Get with it, Wetherspoon

I’ve given up on J.D.Wetherspoon’s Sir Robert Peel pub in Bury. For years I’ve gone on Sunday afternoon for a meal and a few pints. Now I’ve moved to another pub nearby, less choice of beers, more expensive food, but with some idea what customer service means, which Wetherspoon’s seem to have lost altogether.
They [...]

Complaint About Ready Meals

I bought from the Northwich, Cheshire store of Sainsburys a beef stroganoff – they were buy one get one free.
They tasted of plastic and pepper, they were so bad that we could not eat them – I just threw them away – not something I can really afford to do.

Grumbling about grub

It must be a blond person or something because its a blond peice of hair. I mean like can you imagine all the horrible dirty mud and stuff that has [...]

KP Discos Complaint

On a recent trip to Tesco I discovered that KP produced Pickled Onion Discos. I considered buying a 6 pack of multiple tastes as I am quite partial to a pickled onion,but was slightly alarmed to see the words “Pickled Onion Flava”. As I did not understand what “flava” was, I walked on by.
On my [...]

Starbucks Complaint

Dear Starbucks,
We live a long way from any of your branches, so a handy bribe for encouraging my children to visit their grandparents is a visit to the Starbucks which has recently opened just around the corner from their house.
Last August, on our much-anticipated visit, we recited our order, only to find that my thirteen [...]

Refused booze for being Australian

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to make a formal letter of complaint. Yesterday I went to buy a bottle of wine (Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon) at Waitrose at the Goldsworth Park Centre in Woking and was asked for ID.
I proceeded to show the staff member my Australian driver’s license but was [...]

Ticking Timebomb

Dear Parents
With all the media attention being paid to the problems of obesity in the UK recently, it seems reasonable to expect that the message will have hit home to some degree that unless we teach our children to eat healthily now, our younger generation as a whole is a ticking time bomb.
I have been [...]
