Exchanged £10 of my Tesco clubcard points for a £20 Cafe Rouge voucher to take DS (aged 3 at the time) out for an early dinner.
The T&Cs state it has to be used after 5pm and you need to buy 2 main courses. On their menu is a list of kids main courses.
When I went to use it, I was then told that you had to buy two ADULT main courses. Not impressed. Took DS somewhere else, but the voucher then expired without any opportunity to use it.
(If DH and i eat out, it is Saturday night, so voucher not valid either).
Anyway, emailed Tesco, and they exchanged it for a new Pizza Express voucher instead, which have very few daft restrictions.
YAY!! Well done and thank you Tesco!!
(And meh to Caf! Rouge for their silly T&Cs)

Why didn't you buy him an adult main course and let him leave most of it?'Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.' George Carlin0

Do you not get four times the value for cafe rouge? So you should have got £40 for £10.0

Probably because he is 3 and children like to have the childrens meals as they are plain and more to their tastes, plus they normally come with some kind of activity
I had the same kind of thing happen to me in a pub. Meals were advertised as 2 for 1 within the time frame we were attending. I picked out my meal cost was about £14 I asked if I could have a childs meal (cost £5) as the free one, was told no both meals had to be off the adult menu. We left, I didn't understand it I could have had another £14 meal but was only asking for a meal of £5 in value! (My ds would not have eaten anything off the adult menu it was all too 'posh' for his taste),0 -

Because £20 doesn't stretch far on two adult meals! We like pudding too
Kids meals are never classed as main courses.
They have a kids menu with a "main" section. I checked before buying the voucher!
The voucher should clearly state two ADULT mains. It Is unclear...Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

I had an awful situation in Caf. Roug., many years ago I went with family, including an elderly relative of DH's, as a family, and it was 6 of us, tried to use 3 vouchers, one for each pair of us, but was told that I could only use one per table and the manager made quite a fuss, embarrassing everybody present. Very upsetting situation. I complained here on the forum and one of their company representatives contacted me, apologised and gave me £25 vouchers for future use. I was very impressed with their Head Office attitude, sometimes it is the individual restaurants that don't understand the rules!Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0

It was just double at the time.
Thanks for the tip about flashsale on Pizza Express frugalmacdugal! Might have to get some more than have a huge family meal out at the weekend!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

Really? I thought Cafe Rouge and the other chain restaurants have always been 4x the amount, it was for me last month!0
