“I visited Billy Buds last night with 5 other ladies. ...”

★★☆☆☆

written by avadons on 29/09/2005

I visited Billy Buds last night with 5 other ladies. We were the only ones in at the time as it was 6.00pm. One of the ladies was running late and so we were ready to order around 6.20pm. The waiter who was responsible for our table was very very slow to take the order, to deliver the food, to come back and ask about dessert and or coffee etc. Most of us had Nachos to start and when it finally arrived it was fine. When my Beef Fahitas arrived they were burnt round the edges. One of the ladies had ordered a chicken dish and expected seasonal vegetable but got chips and a salad. She checked the menu and discovered there was a choice and had not noticed. However the waiter had not pointed that out and had obviously decided for her. When I realised he had finished serving our main courses and was not coming back, I went to ask him for a spoon to put the sour cream, gaucamole and salsa onto the beef fahitas. He frowned at me as if he didn't understand what I meant and one of his colleagues explained it to him. Well, he came round the corner with the spoon and stated for everyone to hear (two more table had filled by then) "You must be posh, never in 5 years of working here has anyone asked for a spoon! You are supposed to dip into the side dishes. Excuse me! Where has he been! I asked him if he had a problem with giving me a spoon and he again repeated, "no, but never in 5 years has anyone asked for a spoon". If I had not been there for an evening out with 5 other ladies I would have demanded to see the Manager and or left. It was 8.45pm before he even thought of doing the filter coffee and one of the ladies had to go and order 3 coffees as it seemed our table just was not going to be attended to. When the main meal dishes had been sat waiting to be cleared for a long time, he sent a new waiter to clear. Fair enough, but he only cleared 2 places and when he got to me I asked for a doggie bag. He just disappeared never to return and the rest of us sat there for some time with our plates. Goodness knows how the place is managed when it is busy. Our original waiter eventually turned up....stood back from the table and asked if anyone wanted to take their food home...very strange. Once establishing that I was the only one, he then cleared the table and some time later came back with a sweet menu and that is the last I saw of him...I had to leave the remaining girls to wait for that coffee to brew at 8.45pm. I was going to write to the Manager but I see a previous review say he was not interested, so I decided to do one here.

“Billy Buds Wakefield - We ordered our starters, I had...”

Billy Buds Wakefield - We ordered our starters, I had Tiger prawns and my wife had mussels. When they arrived my salad was dried up so I sent it back it was returned to me with fresh salad. My wife's mussels were minute in size & many of the shells were empty it looked as if they had come out of a freeze dry pack.
We then had our main meals I had scampi and my wife had ordered "seared" tuna.
Mine was again served with salad and chips (French fries). My salad was dried up, again I requested that it be changed and was told that it had NOT been left standing it was because there was no dressing on it, They refused to change it instead they brought out two servings of salad dressing, I had told them I didn't want any!!!!!! the French Fries were soggy & absolutly tasteless.
My wife's tuna was also disappointing, firstly the plate was stone cold, they took it back and microwaved the tuna, which dried it out, and when she cut into it the tuna was raw in the centre. This meal was NOT cheap, the Owner of the restaurant was sat at the back of the restaurant and heard all that was going on, he couldn't have cared less all he was bothered about was being paid for the meal.
We certainly will NOT be retuning to this place, in our opinion we were lucky not to end up with food poisoning. I will not recommend this restaurant.
