just eaten at a restaurant that advertised cheap beer on Mondays-we get there a party of 20 which was prebooked-they had not got their beer order so had very few beers (they did send out for some after many complaints-good)-the food was served to our party from 7.30 pm to 9.10 pm-I called for my bill at 9.35 -received it at 10.00pm-expensive food -cheap warm beer -I complained to the owner twice-they agreed they had under trained and insufficient staff-the billing problem was they did not have a pos system-there were 12 other paying guests on three other tables
I was told that when the owners had been in my bar the beer was too cold (I consider this a compliment)and I expect far too much and should not eat out-
Personally I say if you live by the sword you die by it-if you open a restaurant and take a booking for 20 you should be able to provide their meals at the same time and if you cannot provide cold beer close it until you can-or advertise the fact we only serve luke warm beer
the last thing the bar tender was pissed I only tipped him around 4% and told me so-I believe you tip for good service and good drinks am normally ambivalent about food
