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.

Bombay Mix, Broad Street, BirminghamThe food is very nice, but don't go in there without a trained negotiator.
The waiters are obviously ex-double glazing salesmen who quit their former job because it was 'too easy'. It took several hours of intense debate to persuade them that no, we didn't want starters. For the main course the waiter insisted we hadn't ordered enough rice (there was plenty), and tried to add naan bread to the order that we hadn't asked for - cross that off now, matey. While I was counting out the payment, he apparently said pointedly "service isn't included". I didn't hear him - I was told afterwards - if I'd heard him I'd have bloody well taken back the tip we left.
Instead I'm posting about it on here. Rewenge is sweet. And we won't be coming back, you pushy gits.
