Greedy restaurants
Here's a pet hate of mine: restaurants that fail to give full descriptions of dishes on their menu, encouraging customers to place side orders that prove to be unnecessary.
Last night, for instance, I placed an order for steak unaware that the plate would also contain grilled tomatoes (and mushrooms). Consequently, my £3.50 side order of tomato salad remained largely uneaten.
Either the waiting staff are ignorant of the dishes they are serving or this is shabby, cynical, money-making trick. Either way it reflects badly on the restaurant. And costs punters dear.
Next time it happens, the side order will be heading back to the kitchen.

Here's a pet hate of mine: journalists that fail to give full descriptions of the restuarant they are moaning about.... come on moron what was it called?
Dave, thank you for your contribution. My point was a general one. Many restaurants operate in a similar way and it would wrong to single out an individual establishment.
Here's a pet hate of mine: people who are rude and abusive when there's no need to be.
And what exactly is a restuarant anyway?
Did you have any VanILLA ice cream to finish it off eh moseley?
