15 Problems Only People Who Work For A Pub Chain Will Understand

3. Reminding People This Isn't A Gourmet Food Restaurant

"I asked for a particular hollandaise sauce with my scrambled eggs? Where is it?" "Do you have quinoa on the menu?" "I thought this fish was meant to be steamed with spinach?" "My wife ordered this soup but it tastes like Heinz?" People, it's time to realise that you are dining in what can only be described as one of the cheapest food venues around. This is not a high-end eatery in the business district of London. This is your family-friendly scampi-chips-and-peas-for-a-fiver type restaurant. It's good hearty food and it's often cooked in bulk, because those chefs in that kitchen are feeding wave after wave of hungry customers and sometimes we don't provide what you would get in a gourmet venue. But please, help yourself to 50 packets of mayonnaise and pretend it's hollandaise sauce if you so desire.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
