Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

Lake District child chefsMe and the other half started to go up to Ambleside every so often and we would arrive around 9pm on a Friday. Bars going well, loads of people about.
So first of all we went to Mr Dodd's chip shop (now defunct, I think). "Sorry, we're closing in a minute." A chippie?
Never mind, we think, and the next day we go to the restaurant entitled "Mr Dodd's".
One of the very few places actually run by children. No manager, noone over 12 years old seems to be running the place. Ordered a grill. Received carbon. Wedged into a table that could have sat two Barbie dolls.
Needless to say that whenever we go back and are thinking about dinner the food at "Mr Dodd's" comes slightly after dwarf bread.
And the wine was shite too.
Still its best to find somewhere else after the Glass House went crap about five years ago.
