If you were in a restraunt and had ordered a prawn cocktail which first came with a thick facial hair on, then sent this back and they sent you a new plate where the second plate is full of prawns which are frozen, what would you expect the restraunt to do? Discount?

We can see the chef from our table with a lovely thick black beard uncovered so we suspected the culprit immediately

Shouldn't he be wearing a beard net? yukk

Chef should be wearing a beard cover. Report to environmental health

You can get seriously ill from prawns, I'd report them to environmental health and the manager or head office..

I used to be given a bag of frozen prawns to munch on straight from the market stall! Wouldn’t think of doing that now, I defrost them in the microwave instead 😂

But do you know where he defrosts his prawns?

😭😭 a nice thick facial hair tangled around the prawn :’(

Mmmm... prawn and face pubes... and is that really Marie Rose sauce?

I doubt he had the appetite after the second failure to feel like he missed out on the starter. Probably dodged a bullet on whatever it was vibrating under the lettuce.

What are the reviews like on tripadvisor? I would have taken photos of this hirsute prawn and if the service in the restaurant wasn't as expected- written to the manager. IF that wasn't sufficient, I'd then write an honest review on trip advisor. Hopefully it was managed in the restaurant a the time though?

Shit happens OP. I'd expect the prawns to be taken off the bill and maybe a free drink.

Shit might happen but when shit happens twice, it’s probably a good indicator that it’s time to go home and make a sandwich.

Human hair in food? Immediate walk out. Spilled wine and frozen prawns are bad enough but no tolerance for poor hygiene.

I think I would probably have left at that point. I wouldn’t want to risk eating anything from a kitchen with such poor food hygiene standards.

Me too!

TraitorsGate · 12/06/2024 18:55

Oh right it was a human hair not a prawn hair, sounds grim, I would have expected a full refund and walked out,

Yep I have to say, hangry kids or not, I’d have gone to the chip shop rather than risk the main courses.

TraitorsGate · 12/06/2024 18:53

Do you mean the prawn was still in its shell which often is used as a garnish or were all the prawns in their shells.

Erm, what makes you so sure it’s a facial hair? Envy

How do prawns have hair? Attached seaweed?
