Facebook / Mercury PressChips are cheap. Pretty much everywhere, at any time. Whether you’re in Durham or Dubai, it’s a safe bet chips will always be the cheapest option on a food menu. And you’re guaranteed to get a decent portion for that price.
Well, at least until now.
You see, one woman recently spent £2.50 on a side of chips – bad enough – but, but, there were only seven of the buggers.
Leanne Williams recently walked out of The Clock Face Pub and Restaurant in St Helens, Merseyside and slapped it with a damning one-star review after being served the measly plate.
Mercury PressShe said:
It was like something out of Fawlty Towers, I couldn’t believe it.
The meal was served on a small side plate with seven or eight chips on it – it looked like a doll-sized portion of food.
It was £5.50 for the burger and £2.50 for seven chips, I couldn’t believe it.
When I saw the reply I just thought ‘what a cheeck.’ I was a bit shocked by it and I thought it was disgusting.
Mercury PressBoss Jamie Fildes replied on the work account that he saw eight chips. Leanne was not best pleased.
He later apologised, saying:
It was a daft, flippant comment which was satirical and meant to be banter and wasn’t meant to cause any offence.
One the pre-order it said it was a kid’s meal. Ideally they should have said something along the lines of ‘you have messed up here and given us a child’s portion’, and it could have been sorted straight away.
It’s not a fair comment to make as our portions are big.
PexelsChrist. Who knows who’s right or wrong? Who’s the one telling porkies?
I guess the take-away from this is never go near the Clock Face if you’re a fan of chips (sorry Clock Face).
