never ever eat in.....
never ever eat in.....
probably get deleted but i think people should know of bad places
i will start with 90% of brit bars,they dont have the training or equipment
not a brit bar but the buffet,don q on the seafront in fuengirola,went there for dinner,paid up front as you have to(no prob with that in a buffet) but was so disgusted with the temperature of the food, the layout of it(people picking up food with hands,no cough/sneeze barriers,food kept warm buy domestic equipment that a member of staff just turns over every now and then) i complained to the waitress and manager,they just laughed at me
when will the gullible public learn,i ate 4 lukewarm chips and some bread while i finished my costly glass of wine then went to ponchos

Re: never ever eat in.....
we ate in a certain buffet nr calahonda and never had such disgusting food, luke warm salmon and prawns it looked ok. loads of tourists piling up their plates everything was mixed together
it looked like a plate of sick or the contents of a rubbish bin. they all tuck in and enjoy it must show the standards of uk food.
I cant believe they are still there.

Re: never ever eat in.....
never eat in, i say never eat out, the standard of most bars and restaurants, english, spanish, chinese etc..are disgusting,and if gordon ramsey was to visit, there wouldn´t be anywhere to eat on the costas. The holiday makers get an upset stomach and blame the beer or believe its part of going on holiday, poor buggers, if they really knew, they wouldn´t waste there money.

oooh!Gordon Ramsey!
You are correct ScrumpyGill,when you live in UK, part of going on holiday is filling your case full of tablets incase you get a tummy bug..everyone knows not to drink the water from the taps,but no one thinks about the lukewarm food or hygiene standards.
My hubby says the dirtier the kitchens in the indian resturants are,the better the curry is. yuk!

Re: never ever eat in.....
thankyou princess peach, these bars and so called restaurants, should be closed down immediately, everyone slags off england, but atleast the health and safety make regular visits, how many cockraoches so you think you´ve eaten since you´ve been here??? it´s a question many people should ask themselves!!
Re: never ever eat in.....
apart from your spelling of course

Re: never ever eat in.....
You'll definitely have a friend here in Frog! Agree in some respects. Someone here recently was slagging off Harvester meals in UK, and although I've only ever eaten there a few times, the quality, cleanliness etc, is streets ahead of anything I have ever experienced in the much vaunted "menu del día" type greasy spoon caffs that frequently come in for so much praise here. We sat at a bar in a "restaurant" and watched everything come out of the freezer, put in the sink, and "defrosted" with boiling water out of the coffee machine. A UK hygiene inspector would have a field day in Spain, I doubt there would be many "restaurants" left open!scrumpygill wrote:thankyou princess peach, these bars and so called restaurants, should be closed down immediately, everyone slags off england, but atleast the health and safety make regular visits, how many cockraoches so you think you´ve eaten since you´ve been here??? it´s a question many people should ask themselves!!

Re: never ever eat in.....
In all honesty some Spanish bar owners are their own worst enemies
We're sitting in what appeared to be a clean, fresh and decent bar in Velez..........no problem.
Serrano baguettes arrive along with coffee..............still no problem.
We tucks into the above.........very nice and still no problem., then.............
From under the swing doors of the kitchen this scruffy little dog appears in that horrible position Spanish dogs like to pose in, i.e. rear legs splayed, front paws dragging it along with its @rse mopping the floor, it left a 7 foot Richard Wydmark from the swinging kitchen doors to our table where it looked at us in all innocence for a piece of ham ..............put us right off

That is soooo funny, i can remember when the cooks were allowed to smoke in the kitchen,i couldn´t believe my eyes watching the chef come through the swing doors with a tray of food squinting because the fag in his mouth was smoking into his eyes and all the expats waiting eagerly for their "menu-del-dia"
Re: never ever eat in.....
We had a similar experience, eating outside in a restaurant in Ronda. Woman comes along with her mangy mutt, it proceeds to carp right outside the restuarant, a wet runny affair, and she just drags it off, spreading it across the pavement. Walks on as if it's the most natural thing in the world! The look on the owners face when he saw it was worth the price of the meal! But hey, we're in Spain, these things happen all the time, get used to it!Devils Advocate wrote:In all honesty some Spanish bar owners are their own worst enemies

Don't ever go to Holland, they allow dogs in most restaurants there Was sat in one and realised there was a large german Shepherd some 2" from my foot, was scared to move! They do clean up the poo in the streets and parks though.
