Booked for special meal for friends traveling 60 miles. Not opened at 1.00 for 1.15 booking and no food was told today. I had a confirmed booking that I showed I had a confirmation. Very unhappy. I'll never go again. I wanted to talk to someone later. I left two messages, but ignored. What a business! A really angry person.
