    For those who aren't receiving their voucher......I don't know what difference it makes but both my partner and I have plus email accounts and neither of us got the voucher sent through. However when I tried it with my hotmail account it came through instantly.

    As I said I don't know why that would make a difference, but thats what happened!
    I can't look into the future, but the futures where I'm walking to

    Thanks BIGWHEELER for adding in the Hotel Du Vin link. They are a sister company of Malmaison so the offers is basically the same.

    I hope this helps people that are not near a Malmaison.
    Your really can not beat a good bargain !!!

    My voucher looks like this :-

    It does not have anything specific to me on the voucher - does anyone have a different that has something on it that makes it specific - if not then anyone could print it off?

    Kind regards

    If it's anything like what happened to us last year in Birmingham when we used the voucher then I wouldn't bother!

    We were sat down at the table - 6 of us with menus etc. and when the voucher was mentioned we were treated with SUCH disdain. Sure we were there for a cheap meal but actually quite happy to use the discount to supplement the drinking of some nice wine - you only got a glass last year. The proper menus were snatched away, including the wine list! We were asked if we wanted red or white and they then proceeded to remove all the wine glasses from the table as well without ever asking if we wanted any other drinks.

    It's fair enough if you don't want anything else (you probably won't if you get a full bottle) but to be treated like a piece of dirt really got my back up. I could afford to eat there and pay full price if I wanted - the news is that I will never do it there. Someone needs to inform their staff that it's January and that deals like this are designed to bring in custom in a quiet period and introduce new customers. It really gets my back up when I go to a decent establishment and the people that work there think they are superior to you (it was more than one there as well) - sorry to be blunt, but I am not the one waiting tables :o

    They were serving up properly raw chicken to everyone around us (not just me, they were getting sent back all over the shop) then charged me full price for my replacement dish which I had to eat after everyone else had finished, oh, then they added someone elses bar bill of over 100 quid to our restaurant bill! After my SIL had got wat she thought were the relevant deductions made, we then ended up dissecting the bill entirely and discovered that one friend drinking a particular lager hadn't in fact drunk 7 bottles over dinner(!) and that 5 of them were also from the other party. We were then told that 'we had already accepted the bill' and they were expecting us to pay for stuff that we hadn't had because we hadn't highlighted it the first time round!

    What a pigs ear of a night that was. Stayed at Oxford again recently and the service there has gone downhill big time as well. I thought that was the best hotel I've stayed at in this country initially :(


    Can I ask whats wrong with waiting on tables? Perhaps your attitude to staff may contribute to how you are looked after.
