A pub delivered a simple response to a customer complaining about having to wait 15 minutes to pick up a carvery.
The reviewer, known as Nikki, took to Google to share her thoughts after visiting The White Swan in Wythall, Birmingham last month.
She was left unhappy after having to wait for her carvery, despite having already ordered ahead to collect.
Nikki wrote: "Ordered a carvery for collection which by definition should mean you show up at the collection time and ‘collect’ your order.
"Not be told to join the carvery queue, wait 15 minutes only to be given a flimsy plastic container with the last fatty bits of beef left from a joint and point blank refusal to change it for a fresh joint, the container to be covered by a flimsy bit of cling film and handed to you with a container to go and get your own gravy - that’s it.

"Shocking service. You can get far better for your money elsewhere."
The owner of The White Swan, which has a rating of 3.8 based on 1,171 reviews, responded to the complaint with just five words, reports Birmingham Live.
