Apparently if one person has a bad meal they will 20 people how awful it was but if that person had a good meal they will only tell 6 people how good it was on average.My golden rule now is once i`ve made a complaint about the food i won`t have anymore from the kitchen.How about you?

I never complain. I just don't go back.

I'll just enjoy the meal as much as I can. tbh i dont think i've ever had something that was inedible and it's more about the company you're with and the wine you drink than the food.

Once had an Indian which was ok but a man at a nearby table complained vociferously about the time taken to serve his meal and then moreso when he burnt his hand and the metal container which was keeping his meal hot. :D

His female companion looked as if she wanted the earth to bury her.

I think they were in their 40's.

well complaining puts everyone in a bad mood. Its usually done by people who are tight wads and just want to get a free meal.

Ill complain if I get ** service but in the long run Rusty is right I feel.

I had the worst meal ever over Xmas,was with the wife and son and went to frankie & bennys.

Long story short paid and never complained what's the point ?

I`m afraid i disagree i get the impression that there are too many people like Rusty(no disrespect) that don`t complain and the establishment continues to make the same mistake if not told.(Plus Rusty might tell 20 friends its rubbish there)
Report rustyboy • January 15, 2010 6:23 PM GMT
I feel there is a point to complaining but not when 90% of people complain just to get free stuff.
Report Bamboo • January 15, 2010 6:26 PM GMT
Just to get a free meal is not cricket imo but to be a positive influence on the eatery and making constructive critisism is no bad thing

mugs.
i eat out a fair bit.
most of it overpriced and hyped.
i am no cook but can cook better than a lot of it. and thats across the board.
i dont complain but i will let them know what was wrong with it , it gets ignored , they are on the gravy train and couldnt care less.
few years of ripping you off and onto another venture.
how many of these places open and close within a couple of years?
oddly enough there are a few in my town that were sh1te 15 years ago and are still sh1te today.
as for frankie and bennys and all that , jesus , wouldnt call any of that eating out.

The French have it cussed when it comes to eating out -different gravy imo chefs and waiters are more respected and they have this" j`en a sais quoi" when it comes to food.Over here any old Tom Dick or harry wants to be a chef or waiter

franky and bennys is pretty bad.
Report rustyboy • January 15, 2010 7:00 PM GMT
their spicy chicken wings are good though.
Report curious-cat • January 15, 2010 7:04 PM GMT
agree about frankie & bennys

places where the staff are 18 or under never seem to be v good.




atm our local embers inn is v good ......... excellent menu and the prices are cheap

^ feck off almost as bad as weatherspoons :(
Report rustyboy • January 15, 2010 7:10 PM GMT
wetherspoons chicken wings aren't bad but you'd never "eat out" there would you? A portion of chicken wings with half a shandy sure but not - "Shall we go out for dinner? Weatherspoons perhaps?"

Heston would be SEETHING.

Frankie and Bennys are indeed terrible,argubaly the worst example of all the chains.If they served the rubbish they do in their american stores theyd be empty in 2 weeks.The quaility is no better than "good" ready meals.

For the record Weatherspoons are good value for what they serve,they dont use the crappest food by some way and sell the same food as many chains do but at half the price.The dilema being do you eat your dinner surrounded by tramps or get it served by unitersted hopeless teenagers?

naturally spoons is pub grub to ahve with a pint if youve missed your lunch as opposed to "eating out"

I know a chef who winged it once when it came to a portion of tomatoe soup,he opened some tomatoe juice and heated it up :^0
