And that excuses cold food in 'spoons (or anywhere else) how, exactly? 😉

I am used to roughing it a bit also I would complain to the restaurant and not on here!

You're missing the point, the "complaint" post was probably in response to your not-entirely-unexpected and blinkered defence of 'spoons... 😞

Still missing the point, which is a business plying its trade as a restaurant should not need to be complained to about cold food that is supposed to be hot! Even if it is cheap which seems to be important to boaters.

Cheap hot food, great. Cheap cold food, not great. Unless it's a salad. Or if you're posh, gazpacho or vichyssoise... 😉

You can't do that, social media would close down, what ever were you thinking of.?

One of the ways to serve cheap, hot food and still make a profit is of course, to forget to heat it up. Wins all round (if you're Peter)! 

 

Vichyssoise... isn't that some sort of shampoo?

[magnetman]

I've never had cold food at the 'spoons when I take the kids there for a luxury meal.

 

I suppose whispering to the bar staff that I am a mystery shopper helps in this regard.

Only if you annoy the waitress and she tips it over your head... 😉

I complained n the website, so called customer services who indicated they don't want to know.

I could not complain as I was a guest. What good would it do. If the manager is happy to send out plates of cold food, what is the point of complaining to him or her?

The only option is to take the temperature of the food, I don't carry a thermometer, take a photo and one of the menu, then complain to local authority. Do you really  think they would do anything?

It was about £30 for two people, cost of materials about £2.50

It was not particularly cheap, anyway there is no excuse, MacD serve up good hot food, it's cheap but good value, and they rely on repeat business.

It is certainly easier to 'eat' soup with spoons rather than forks

Does the soup come *inside* the loaf, like this?

Only do that when the loaf is a week old. Stops it falling on the Yorkshire pudding saucer. 🍞😍

You have odd standards.

 

McDonald's is no better than Spoons in any way shape or form!
