"Never been to east ham before as i was visiting for a friends birthday and we thought we would start our night out with a nice meal and some drinks. Being a wetherspoons we know it would be cheap and cheerfull like usual however the price wasnt the only thing that was cheap. For starters we ordered a few bottles of wine for the table, instead of being served with the bottle and some wine glasses we were given a large plastic pitcher which looked like it was about 10 years old, very grubby and full of scratches along with plastic wine glasses which looked the same age and personally i could of bought better ones from Asda. Bazare as it was to be served wine in a pitcher, i understand if they dont allow glass for certain reasons but when people are drinking out of pint glasses i didn 't quite understand. We then came to order our meal myself and my friends ordered two Chicken ceaser salads and cumberland sausage and mash. About 10 minutes after ordering we were told by a member of staff their was no ceaser salad dressing could of told us when ordering and asked if we wanted anything else, not being too hungry we only wanted salad and asked if we could have any other sauce, the young lad serving didnt know what other sauces they had in the kitchen, and 5 minutes later came back to tell us he had normal salad dressing when we asked what this was he didnt know and shrugged his shoulders, getting annoyed we just gave up and took a gamble on the salad and mystery dressing. My friend was then told there were no cumberland sausages and that they only had vegetarian after waiting another 10minutes not being told at the till again getting annoyed and behind schedule we accepted whatever we got with our meals and asked if we were going to get a discount for the major delay in food and also not getting what we payed for, when we asked we got a very rude stare from the boy and his collegue who said its just sauce mate, im not giving you a discount for sauce even though in my personal opinion ceasar dressing is what makes a ceasar salad!! my friend also did not receive any form of apology or discount not to mention when the food actually came it consisted of about a handfull of salad leaves and barely any chicken or dressing, the croutons were also just bits of soggy toast cut up!!! overall the pub was nice and it has a nice atmosphere but the service and food even for a wetherspoons was horrific! very rude staff with very little experience. Safe to say i will not be going back."

"Stayed at the premier Inn at Westfield in Stratford for the weekend March 8-10. First night we decided to stay at Westfield and eat after a long day travelling. We were going to eat at TGI’s but the que was huge so we had a quick look at the menu at Giraffe and our 12 year old daughter was happy with what she saw. We were seated very quickly and sadly that was the quickest part of the service the entire night. Our server was very polite and sat us at our table and handed us our menus from then on it was as if we had disappeared from sight 10 minutes later she returned to take our drinks order. She then came back and took our food order my wife ordered the enchilada, I ordered the buritto and our daughter the wrap and homemade crisps.Waiting for our food we talked and drank our drinks nobody asked if we wanted refills and trying to get someone’s attention was an impossible task. Then out on of the blue our daughters meal arrived so thinking ours was on the way we knabbed the server to get some more drinks. To call our daughters wraps small would be an understatement they looked more like canapés anyway we expected ours to appear any moment but with our daughter eating as slowly as humanly possible her wraps were gone. Still waiting at this point for our meals to appear she started on her crisps, getting down to the last 1 or 2 our meals arrived 15 minutes after our daughters so we quickly ordered extra fries for our daughter and more drinks because we weren’t sure when a member of staff would be passing our way again. My wife’s enchilada looked very nice much nicer than my buritto which looked a bit ‘cardboardy’. The enchilada looked nice but lacked flavour, my burrito although well filled the base was burned and hard the fries were nice though. Finished our meal and our table was cleared then waited 20 minutes before getting someone’s attention, asked for the dessert menu only to be told minutes later by our original server that the kitchen was closed. I’m really sorry I’m not usually a complainer but the service was dreadful the food very average. The price of 1 adult meal was removed from the final bill but this did not make up for a very bad experience. I now realise why giraffe are closing so many locations."

"We visited this place as we were staying close by on our business trip and have arrived late to go to the Chinatown, as we used to do every year. So this Chinese would do we thought. The service was medium, we ordered a set menu for two, which is overpriced in comparison to others. The crispy duck was a disappointment, dry and tasteless. The following two dishes, chicken and beef were full of hot spice, so hot that it was impossible to eat, I have spice intolerance, so I couldn 't eat any of that, ended up eating just the vegetables. My husband had some of the chicken and couldn 't take the heat either. Never in my life I had such a spicy Chinese dish. When the waitress came to collect the full plates, didn 't bother to ask if everything was OK, considering the beef we didn 't touch and the chicken was barely eaten. I told her I have spice intolerance and she just went ohh and collected the plates. We asked for the bill and just wanted to leave. They brought the POS and it wouldn 't work with our business card, which we used only an hour ago and it was fine. She kept rubbing it on the table and passing it again and again, 'no its not working '. We asked her to change the POS as the card was fine. Same thing, we gave her another card and the same was going on, rubbing the card on the table and no its not working. Ended up paying with a personal card which finally went through. A complete shambles for a business. Same card was used later on and it was just fine!! All they wanted is to take the money and didn 't care in customer satisfaction. 100 pounds for a small starter, 3 dry and tasteless duck pancakes and vegetables is a joke. Never again."

"Comptoir Libanais is a franchise which has lots of branches in UK, its everywhere from streets to airports. Kudos to their marketing team, the appearance is always attractive and presents Lebanon beautifully, unfortunately their food is usually average, the Westfield Stratford branch though is worst...of the lot. I have visited the place twice and will base my review on most recent visit. The Westfield branch of Comptoir is pay at counter and self service style, in synchrony with Westfield food court. The staff seems tired and plain but they can be given benefit of doubt because its a busy mall and food court. What can't be forgiven is what they serve to customers. We ordered their Mezze platter for 2 with Mixed grill. Both were epic fail. Hommos was pasty and bland, falafels were hard and seemed reheated rather than fresh, Cheese samboussek was only above average thing in the Mezze. The grill was equally disappointing with under-seasoned and dry meat. Lamb kofta was dry and over burned while Chicken taouk was like eating stones. Growing up in middle east and being a big craver of Labanese food, I cannot recommed Comptoir Libanais to anyone who knows the cuisine or even to introduce a lad to Labanese food. Labanese pictures and flashy colors might reflect the management and owners love for their roots, unfortunately love for Labanese food it doesn't. Head to Edgeware road instead and you might find a street full of Labanese food and its beautiful aromatic taste."

"The food is great, with a decent variety of traditional English pub food as well as some Indian dishes. During our stay at the hotel we ate here twice for dinner. The first time we ordered the beef lasagne and steak pie. We ordered at...the bar and were given a number to take to our table, where our food was quickly brought out to us. Hot and tasty. We also took advantage of the deal where hotel guests receive a free drink with purchase of a main dish. An older gentleman took our order and the service was great. The second time however, was pretty awful to be honest. We went up to the bar and started to order fish chips, a beef burger, and two drinks from the younger man working. I don't know what his deal was. He interrupted us halfway through ordering, turned to the girl that was working with him, and started speaking fast and angrily in another language to her, completely ignoring us. We had to get his attention again as he showed no signs of stopping his rant to finish helping us. He entered our order into the till and tried to make us pay for the drinks too, even though we were hotel guests (even if we weren't, the deal was advertised on posters all over the pub to the public for Mon-Fri and it was a Monday anyway). He seemed pretty upset that we wanted the advertised discount. He started talking to the girl again, then stormed off without another word to us. The girl came over to continue our order, and she seemed angry as well, like we were being difficult. I felt like I was being very polite through the whole thing, and once she saw we actually had a simple order, she was much more pleasant. This time I was not given a number to take to the table, so I asked for one. They brought us the wrong food anyway and almost forgot the fish chips. The breakfast buffet was lovely. An awesome variety for the price I think, but free for hotel guests including tea, coffee, OJ, milk, cereals, toast, beans, hashbrowns (sometimes there were chicken nuggets instead, heck yeah), scrambled eggs, mystery meat sausage with the consistency of a blended gym mat, pancakes, crumpets, jams, meat and cheese, yogurt, fruit, berry scones, and even salad, cupcakes and cookies. So, good food. Good value. Good service from most of the staff. Not good service from the younger fellow working that night."
