A meal containing oil and batter was then presented to her. The front of house then needed convincing to take the meal back and make a new one. Everyone was blaming everyone else, this could have been very serious health wise if the guest with me had not realised and trusted what front of house said. I feel her meals at least should have been on the house after this big mistake. No sincere apology from anyone.
