Just got home after ordering and there’s 4 hairs in a reg portion. I live too far away to go back. Gross

During a recent visit to your restaurant, my teenage daughter placed our order, paid for the food and drinks, and then collected our beverages on the way out. However, she was mistakenly accused of not paying for the drinks by a staff member. After a brief check, it was confirmed that the payment had been made. The lack of apology from the staff member was quite embarrassing for my daughter and the other customers present. I suggest providing receipts to customers after they have made a payment to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future.

The fish and chips at this restaurant were disappointing. The batter on the fish was excessively hard and greasy, with very little actual fish inside. The only saving grace was the chips.
