Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

Nightmare!My (now ex) husband & I went for a night away at a hotel in the New Forest. We had a lovely room, and it all seemed quite nice until we came to eat. The food at dinner was pretty non-descript, but livened up by seemingly incessant plate smashing from the hilariously incompetent waitresses who seemed to be either 16 or 65+.
Best of all came at breakfast. The menu offered eggs done in a variety of ways so I chose boiled - they arrived rolling freely around on the plate. My suggestion that egg cups might be a good idea was met with a blank look from the spotty youth who was serving. We then tucked into the pile of toast served in a basket only to discover that all but the top slice was burned to a crisp. When we pointed it out to said spotty youth he replied with one word - "Nightmare!". It became a bit of a catchphrase for a while.
