TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE

<p>Upon my visit is December to Port Elizabeth I decided to visit Kings Landing in Walmer. I have seen some mouth watering images on Fb and decided to try it - with 4 friends. What you see id not what you get in this case.</p> <p> </p> <p>After eventually finding the hidden pub-style eatery we were seated in an empty restaurant. There was one couple seated outside, an older gent sitting watching cricket and a waitress ****ed-off that she had to work on the 27th of December.</p> <p> </p> <p>We ordered drinks. Asked for juice - "no we don't sell juice". Ordered milkshake - "no we don't sell milkshake. Ordered Redbull (as there was a Redbull fridge) - "no we don't sell Redbull". Eventually we asked WHAT DO YOU SELL?  You have a choice of soda or booze. We ordered Creme Soda and water with a slice of lemon - No we get our lemons from the Fruit & Veg place on the front premises, and they are closed for Dec. Apparently the 5min walk to Spar would have been too much effort. Colddrinks arrived in glasses, no cans, Flat creme soda. They charged us R15 per glass, which must have been poured out of a 2L R12 Creme Soda bottle....</p> <p> </p> <p>We then ordered burgers. First we asked if they use ground beef patties or soya patties. Pure been patties she assured us. Not sure if she knows a samoosa from a beef patty, but we proceeded to order. I ordered the Nacho burger. I asked her to not put salso on my burger, she informed me that it is not salsa, it is a mayonaise. On a Nacho burger? Confused I said okay leave the mayo on then.</p> <p>My fiance orders the big hercules burger.She plonk the tower of a burger down infront of him, asks him if he wants to do the challenge. Only aware that you get your name placed on the "wall of fame", he agreed, I asked what the challenge entails, she turn around and walks off. Few seconds later she returns with a huge glass of flat Coke this time and starts taking photos. Shocked I asked her what the photos are for, as we are not keen on posting images of ourselves on social media, - Facebook, she says,</p> <p> </p> <p>Who on earth in this day and age just grabs a cellphone and starts taking pictures of your client??? Surely she should explain the rules of the challenge and ask for permission to take images or permission to share it on social media???</p> <p> </p> <p>So all our food arrive, first taste of our burgers are disgusting. Tasting like a mix of pets mince and top cat tinned cat food - full of basting that must have been left in the sun for too long. I asked for tomato sauce, she brings me a bowl full of tomato sauce that must have been standing in the heat longer that a car guard. The sauce tasted off, so we decide not to eat it.</p> <p> </p> <p>As if the food and service was not pathetic enough, we struggle to pin point this damp mouldish like smell at the table. Eventualy we found it was the wooden handle on the steak knive and the wooden cutting board that the food is servied on, So dirty and smelly. If the table and toilets are so filthy, I would rather not want to see what the kitchen looks like, I doubt that board has even been in hot water above 40 degrees. Or that the kitchen has ever had a HACCP compliant sertificate on their walls.</p> <p> </p> <p>All of us took a few bites, I started feeling ill and nauseous almost immedandly. We decieded to rather ask for the bill. She asked if we wanted doggy bags. We tell the lady that this was the worst meal we have ever experienced and would rather not take take-aways.</p> <p> </p> <p>Again, not a word from her side. She swiped our card and off we went.</p> <p> </p> <p>So too say the least, unless you want to feed a stray cat - do not go to this one-man-band restaurant. I would be shocked if the place still exist on my next trip to P.E!!!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
