The idea was simple. To go into town, maybe have breakfast / lunch, and do some shopping. Due to previous success of finding the ultra cheap All day breakfast, we chose to go to Hogshead.
11:50 We try wondering into the upstairs bar at Hogshead just to be told it wasn’t open yet, but to hang on for ten minutes. (weird we were in there at 11 last time?) There was no room downstairs so we decided to wonder around another shop and come back.
12:05 We’re the first ones in the bar making our order for two all day breakfasts and coke (one without beans). I mutter to Anne that we could play pool but trusting our pool skills the food would probably come before we had potted anything.
12:15 Feels like the heating dies as it gets colder in the bar…
12:20 Food starts to get served to people who order after us…
12:25 What looks like two breakfasts come out, the guy wonders past our table for two seconds – turns around and runs off and hides.
12:26 Upon chasing the said food, I get told that one of the plates had beans on so got taken back.
12:30 As I continue to shiver in the pub I put my scarf back on.
12:36 We complain about lack of food and advise if its an issue we would welcome the stupid beans!
12:40 We start coming up with an idea to complain every 5 minutes until either we crack or the staff crack and give us our food.
12:41 A very apologetic member of staff (who by know is looking like breakfast) comes over and advises the food is on its way. I grumble that I cant torture the staff…
12:43 We get our food…with the bloody beans on both plates! Never mind we just wanted food! We start tucking in…the toast seemed a little cold, but I was willing to let it off – toast gets cold…the sausages were warm… the hash browns were like cold rocks of potatoes. We then realise that Anne’s plate didn’t have hash browns on at all.
We take the food back and ask for money back. At least we got a free drink as part of the meal deal, but I surpose the moral of the story is not ask for something to be removed from an order at Hogshead. They cant handle it.
