I am not one to normally write reviews to bad mouth a restaurant but after my experience last night at Flamingo Pink I felt like I had to right a review. I would also like to mention that we as a group of friends always like experiencing new places to eat and do so frequently.
I went to the restaurant with eight other people last night (29/11/13). We arrived and were the only people in when we came to order. After Ordering drinks we then all decided what we wanted to eat so began to order. out of the 9 of us 2 of the girls had decided they didn't want a full meal and asked if they could have a starter instead to be brought out at the same time as the main, which at the time we were told is fine as they were having 2 sides (a naan bread each), popadoms, a bottle of wine and a soft drink.
Everyone else had ordered and the last person to order asked if he could have the starter brought out at the same time with a naan bread and rice to which we were told "You cant just expect order a starter and expect to sit here all night while everyone else has mains i can only let 1 person off with having a starter instead of a main" to which we tried to explain to him that 2 people had already done this so it clearly wasn't true as he was the only person taking our order. he then started snapping at us saying "okay only 2 people then". Genuinely stunned by how rude and plain belittling he had been we asked him to please cancel the rest of the order and we will pay off the drinks and popadoms. We did so and left and will not be coming back. Between us we would have probably spent £12 a head MINIMUM so just over £100 all in all and they lost business down to being downright rude and ignorant. Ended up going to Codsall Spice a local competitor and must say wasn't disappointed Brilliant food and service. I hope that Flamingo Pink retrain their staff in manners and hospitality as we received non. Genuine let down. read more
