    My AGM complaint continues. I am determined to get us all some form of ... well something for such bad service we had.... This is their reply today

    Dear Mr Mike St Helens
    Thank you for bringing details of your recent visit to The
    Hampton Brewers Fayre to my attention.

    Malcolm Winkley, the Operations Manager for Brewers Fayre East
    Midlands has asked me to respond to this incident on his behalf.

    I am sorry to hear that your food was not edible, clearly what
    you experienced was totally unacceptable; please accept my
    apologies.

    As a gesture of goodwill, I would like to send you a £10.00
    Complimentary Voucher that can be used in any Brewers Fayre
    restaurant. Please forward your full address to
    customer.relations@whitbread.com so the voucher can be posted on
    to you.

    Thank you again for contacting me and I hope that we can look
    forward to welcoming you back to one of our restaurants.

    Yours sincerely,

    MY Response....
    Many thanks for your response.

    I do appriciate your offer of £10. However I am fully aware some of the food on the evening and my room has already been refunded. This however does not excuse the amount of money we spent as a group. 3 people had rooms, we had lunch at your establishment and to say the least spent more than £250 at the bar, I for one know I spent over £70 myself out of a group of 7 people. All in all you would have had takings from us of over £500.

    The £10 you offer, I feel is somewhat of an insult. How are 7 people supposed to split this ? It works out at around £1.42 each, does this buy us a soft drink each ? I doubt even this.

    I look forward to your response.

    Kind regards
