Dire Dining at College Soiree

Dear Oxbridge College, which shall, for its own good, remain unnamed: You might ask what exactly I had expected from a Cambridge college dinner; but it was certainly not what I received. Three courses for seven pounds – reasonably; in fact the same price as the banana-flavored chardonnay I ended up with, due to stuttering [...]

Stale fish

Dear Sir/Madam, I bought a ‘fresh’ trout from Sainsbury’s fish counter in Lewes Road on the Sunday 16th January. When I opened it later that day, I realised it was covered in slime and clearly, dangerously, stale. The use by date on the pack was the 17th of January. I took it back to the [...]

Pizza hut!

Dear employees of pizza hut, recently me my husband and my two daughters Lucy and Carmen went to your pizza restaurants for Carmen’s 12th birthday at tower park Poole, on the 21st of December 2010 to be precise. When I arrived at pizza hut I was a few minutes early for my booking so I [...]

Age Indiscretion

Dear Sir/ Madam, I recently ate at your restaurant, and I was highly disappointed with the service and food when I visited.

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.

A cheerful complaint about Walthamstow’s Asda

Dear Walthamstow Asda, I’m not an angry woman. I like to think of myself as patient and tolerant – I used to teach eight year olds for God’s sake, and they’re bloody irritating. So little things tend not to aggravate me too much, least of all a shopping expedition to the local supermarket. What could [...]

Lets do Lunch!

Dear Sir, I would like to complain about the appalling service I received at a local branch of a fast food establishment this past week. The Girl on the till was obviously just turned 10 and well, I found it incredibly rude of her to firstly not listen to our order correctly and serve my [...]

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 [...]
