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

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.

Prawns with facial hair? What fresh hell is this?

Yes but then my partner has had to miss out on a starter which is no fault of his own? By the time the second plate came the rest of us finished ours then we had to send this one back also. When we first arrived we were sat and had to ask for someone to take our drink order after 20 minutes, then when it came the waitress had spilt the Prosecco on the tray and some of our drinks had leaked abit which splashed onto us then we experience this.

I'd expect the plate not to be charged for and maybe a free drink?

I would ask not to be charged for the prawn dish. Were the other dishes OK?
