Choice was good but vegetables need to be hotter. Semi warm veg on barely warm plates went cold quickly.
Staff in charge attire not professional/smart enough .Suggest management uniform.
Price not competitive with local establishments. Not value for money.
Why is carvery £4 dearer on Sundays? for nothing extra.
Just to be clear, the food was pretty top notch actually. The waiting staff were fine. Not exactly cheery but it was New Year’s Day and franchise restaurants aren’t usually particularly good to their staff. Moral was low.
However, a simple mistake was made by our waiter. They had taken our drinks order and given one of us a double vodka and coke when they ordered a single vodka and coke. That doesn’t seem like a biggy really. And that’s exactly how we treated it as we went to pay at the till. We were splitting the bill but I just wanted to check on behalf of one of the other guests that we could have it amended on the bill. Probably the difference of a pound so I guess that makes me a stickler, but after what happened next, so be it!
After querying this with the first member of staff available replied “well he had a double so you’ll have to pay for it”. If they’d have said in any sort of polite way I would have said it was fair enough. But at this point I’d just thought it was a fault on the bill. My friend had no idea he’d drunk a double, unless he’s not told me, he’s trained chef/cocktail expert. But the way they spoke made me continue to question. In response they rolled their eyes and walked away to get another member of staff.
From what I can tell it was the staff manager who took a the reins on this crime of the century! I repeated my request to the manager and they said the same as their colleague. Apparently he seemed to think there would be a noticeable difference between a single and a double vodka and coke. I wonder. What should my friend have done if he’d have noticed it was a double? I’m not a manager so I don’t know.
But really their whole demeanour was aggressive. They stared down my friend and said “you drank the double, so you’ll be paying for the double”. My friend is a super chilled kind guy so he said yes to make peace. But I’m a Karen so I had to tell the manager he was rude. The manager disagreed and made an attempt at an apology. You’ve probably gathered by now it didn’t quite hit the spot.
This started as a tiny mistake made by your staff, why not just treat it like one. Hold the nukes people ;)
