Unisol Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 piccolinos thats owned by manchesters 'bar and grill' opens in november too just behind cafe rouge there so itll be interesting how all this competition affects the bar Let's hope it's a damn sight better than Cafe Rouge - we went in for breakfast a couple of weeks ago - it was absolutely dire!

swordfish1 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I had cause to complain about haha last year. We'd had many good days in there and sat outside, but one day it was very poor. I complained on their website. I got an email asking for my phone number and the day after got a phonecall from the managing director of the entire chain. He sent me vouchers which more than covered the cost of that particular day, a money off discount card, entry to their reopening night and also phoned a couple of weeks later to see if I'd had a better experience since. Couldn't have asked for a better response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think it's called Ha ha bar because that's what the owners are saying to each other when you've paid £3.50 a pint. I'll stick to me local ta:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superted666 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 me and friends went there the other day. It was sunny so we got a seat outside then went inside to order. We were told to go outside and a waitress is serving that area so we waited. time passed so we asked another person inside who said nobody is waiting on outside tables - cheers! Went inside orderd food (pricey) took ages to come and was very poor. I dont normally like putting down businesses but it was a sad affair!

Unisol Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Maybe if more people complained things may improve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrash Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This thread is 18 months old and I'm sure that people have complained, I have and I know several other people who have over the last couple of years and the service and food is still as crap as it ever was.

Unisol Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 We had breakfast there the other week. The food was good, the service was fantastic (well done, whatever her name was), but after she brought the bill she completely forgot about us so had to go to the bar to pay in the end. I hate that. When i get the bill, i just wanna pay and GO!! I wonder why bar/cafe/restaurant staff find it so difficult to provide good service. It's hardly rocket science is it?

penny_crayon Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This thread is 18 months old and I'm sure that people have complained, I have and I know several other people who have over the last couple of years and the service and food is still as crap as it ever was. Er, wasn't it started in Jan 2006? Either way, it's still crap, and you are right it hasn't improved in the least in the last couple of years. Maybe they make enough money serving expensive food slowly, and with as few staff as they can get away with that they don't really think they need to improve?

carcrash Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I've confused this thread with another thread about bad service in bars. Its saying something when you get better service and foodin a wetherspoons pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I've confused this thread with another thread about bad service in bars. Its saying something when you get better service and foodin a wetherspoons pub. It certainly is, when I was in Wetherspoons swim inn on West street last there was a homeless drunk in there walking around asking people for money. He walked right by the bar and the staff said nothing to him! the one thing about Ha Ha is that at least when you pay through the nose for a pint you won't have to put up with beggars, at least I would hope...
