[Billy the Fish]

no place ever gets everything right all the time,but have alerted the owner to this thread

Someone's getting bollocked then!!!

Had the same problem at the Courtyard in Brighton once. Walked out after fifteen minutes and hadn't even been given a menu. Others seem to have had a better experience there though.

Why didn't you put your hand in the air, or was that too much effort?

When you are spending your hard earned cash. Wtf should you. That's pi** poor service that

May I recommend you rate all restaurants on TripAdvisor. I do and use it all the time when out of town, as a guide on where and where not to eat. It sharply focusses the owners of this sort of establishment. If they genuinely want to serve good food in a pleasant atmosphere then they will sit up and take notice.

One of the rudest things you can do in a restaurant

Second to clicking your fingers at a waitress?

A distant second behind ignoring the customers.

I thought it was owned by the owner of the Ardington (he certainly had it recently), and he is a massive cockwomble of the highest order. If he still is involved with the place, I wouldn't be surprised.

Another place to avoid in Warwick St is the new "Thieves Kitchen" - trading off former glories with the name, it's a mishmash of "Shabby Chic" (i.e Shit tat) and overpriced undercooked food served by hipsters. It annoys me massively, because they have a very decent range of ales and craft beers, and if it wasn't quite such an aching douche pit I'd go in there.

If checking on Trip Advisor you need to filter out some of the comments, which is difficult. However I know from experience that there are people who write some horrendous reviews without even going in the place, purely based on some personal issue with the owners.
Trolls with a grudge.

Second to clicking your fingers at a waitress?

And third to getting no service at all?

Went to wimpy today (not been there for over 10 years) and pretty decent, although quite expensive. Service was very good but not very busy.

As my son was taught by his tutor at Westminster Catering College if a customer clicked their fingers just tell them it takes more than two fingers to make me come.

Got dragged to Worthing by the wife and daughter last weekend on the promise of a breakfast. They took me to Cafe Traditionale in south street ? Absolutely superb breakfast with Egg, bacon, sausage, Bubble and Squeak, black pudding, mushrooms. The sausage and coffee were both good quality and although i can't remember the prices, the total bill was surprisingly small. Highly recommended

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Slightly odd web site. They list a breakfast and lunch menu, but most of the comments talk about evening meals. Also, site doesn't show opening times anywhere. Odd.

Joint run by a good friend of mine Alan May, top bloke and massive Albion fan home and away. Every time I have been in there it has been top notch, great food etc. don't think you are being fair to hide behind a keyboard and moan on here and put off potential customers. What, did you lose the use of your voice when you was in there? You should be ashamed of yourself, moaning to others and not even bothering to speak to them first!

If that is the one going South just past Tesco local on the right it is very good

Bit harsh. Seems to be a genuine issue. If it was me I'd have just gone up to the bar / till to make the order, but surely anywhere would want feedback as to how they could improve

The cafe opposite has taken the name Thieves Kitchen. Presumably you are referring to the former pub?

If it is the cafe (previously Wright's) you couldn't be more wrong regarding the food. Just wouldn't want NSC to avoid the Thieves Kitchen cafe.
