Heyyyy...No i am not attacking the customer (your friend)...i am saying its a waste , and not a lot would put me off leaving my food untouched (and paying for it) and upping and leaving, like i said we are all differant.....So No attacks..seriously...and No they are not my friends, used to go there wayyyyyyy before what it was now when it first opened as The City...an upmarket joint with TV's everywhere...so not my pals, just talking about my eating habits and what i consider a waste of good food that was payed for by the person that didn't eat it..(nose off to spite the face line)... ++)(*

thanks for explaining, beer monkey. it's sometimes difficult to get the full meaning of the written word on the internet. i appreciate you taking the time to help me see. yes, the pork roast looked very tasty, and i was tempted to try some. i was starving, which is why i ate my gahpow.

turns out the rude thai male was the cook! now i'm wondering why he was seated at the bar drinking a big leo when we came in and why he went outside to drink his beer after preparing our meals. very strange.

The ''rude thai male'' was probably the leaseholder. If he wants to drink a big leo in his business then it is up to him. If you and your friend were so offended by his behaviour why didn't you say something at the time instead of whinging about it on the forum?

yes, it is up to him. i'm not denying him his right to do what he wants to do in his business if it is his business. it's just rather unusual to see a guy in regular street clothes at the bar drinking a big leo, then talking rudely to staff, then getting up and going into the kitchen to retrieve food, and then going outside with his beer. my friend did comment to him in a friendly way in order to take some of the heat off of the staff, who was very friendly and helpful. all my friend got from the rude thai male was a cold, hard stare and wrinkled frown. i'm not whining and neither is my friend, shedhead. i'm just reporting what we experienced at the city lodge. everything else was good and pleasant, and i stated as much. had everything been positive, i would have been just as pleased to report that. are you in some way related to the owner/lease holder or to the departed scorpio power who couldn't stand to read anything negative about a business establishment?

I have no financial interest in this establishment, although I will admit to being a regular customer and have been for a number of years. At least we agree that a leaseholder can do, within reason, what they want in their own business. If I feel that the service or food in unsatisfactory in a bar or restaurant I tend to vote with my feet and avoid the place.
Just like to add that Tom and Andy are usually friendly and welcoming hosts and as you have mentioned the City Lodge is a pleasant place to drink and dine.

fair enough. it is exactly because of their current good reputation that we went there in the first place.

Maybe he was HORNY and they were not in the MOOD, don't think I will go there if an employee(cook) acts in this matter, goodness knows what he could/would do to your food if he was piss off at you!! Thanks for the WARNING!!
