    You booked a chain pub for a funeral, what did you expect

    During the day as well when they are often short staffed

    Yes the service wasnt great and the location wasnt the most appropiate but then whoever organised it should take the blame too

    Cheesy pop tunes, £5 fish and chips and cheery uniforms do not go hand in hand with a wake

    I think this is totally out of order.
    Either they are a pub or they are not.
    If they are a pub & they take a booking like this (WHICH THEY DID) then they should give the service promised & charged for.

    They booked a private room with pre-determined menu.Don't see the problem.As it was pre booked,staffing would't be expected to be an issue.

    The pub shouldn't have taken the booking if they couldn't handle it! They obviously just saw ££££ signs in their eyes :rolleyes:

    Iamthesharpestmouthalive more like.

    Why don't you read the thread properly before shooting your mouth off and being totally insensitive.

    Or are you the manager of the Chiltern Hundreds in Maidstone? You certainly have the right sort of people skills for the position.
