On our recent lodge break we used the on-site restaurant for one of the nights - it seemed (and was) ok and these places are generally quite remote so it's exceptionally handy just to walk 100 metres rather than drive for half an hour.
Very friendly staff and we all chose our meals with a nice waitress taking our orders, chatting away. One meal came with "pepper mash". When it arrived it tasted odd - nice odd, not off odd :) - but nice in a nothing like pepper way. So we asked the waitress if she knew what was in it. She didn't and said she'd ask the chef.
Impressively she went straight to the kitchen and was soon back with an answer.
"He says it comes in like that"...

Well that made me laugh lol

Relayed that to the present Mrs H and she is chuckling heartly ;D

Same happened to us in a restaurant in Calis, my friend had mashed potatoes with her meal. It tasted really odd, not nice odd. When we paid the bill the waiter asked what was wrong, she said it wasn't very nice and what was in it. He said "nothing special we just add water and butter to the powder".

We went to a pub restaurant. I complained about the pint of bitter I was served (it looked like one of those snow scene paperweights you shake up). The barmaid took offence and said; "There nothing wrong with the beer. It's probably just a dirty glass".

In most brewery owned pubs in the UK food 'just comes in like that' hence the cheap price (but still VERY profitable to the business) and hence also the proliferation of 3663 lorries on our roads, the only freshly cooked items coming from the grill (steaks, burgers etc) But it doesn't half come out quick ! You pays your money and you takes your choice (I prefer Angela's home cooking myself ;) )

....and I do have a reservation but where can I park my Porch ?

Why on earth would anyone take the front entrance to their home with them when going out to a restaurant, & then expect a parking space for it ?? :o ;)

I don't know what you mean ;)

This is reminding me of an old joke..........
A blonde canvassed a wealthy neighbourhood looking for odd jobs. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had anything for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
"How about $50?"
The man agreed and told her the paint was in the garage. A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
"Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

I used to use a hotel in Scotland called the Pow Foulis Manor close to the Kincardine bridge. One night amongst a party of four was this "lady" who probably had to do weight training to support the gold she had on. I was sat quite close to them, not that I needed to be, as when they ordered the said in a loud brummy accent " I'd like a steak ow puvari". It was a lot funnier than it sounds in writing.

Del Boy would be proud of that one, "bonnet de douche" :)
-
I've had restaurants in Fethiye serving instant mash, it's pretty vile stuff especially when not made up properly

Many moons ago, I did industrial release in a rather posh hotel in the Lake District. The restaurant had a menu of dishes that were prepared at the table, from which people only really ordered from when they were being flashy. One such diner ordered steak tartare very well done. I struggled to keep my face straight when I explained that that dish was basically raw steak & egg ;D

Also many moons ago it was late at night and my wife (girlfriend at the time) felt peckish and so decided to stop by a drive through KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) on the way home......
Conversation went something like:
Me: Hi, could I have 4 pieces of chicken please with fries
KFC: Sorry we don't have any chicken pieces
OK, could I have a zinger burgers instead
No, sorry no Zinger burgers
Tower Burgers?
No, no Towers
Popcorn Chicken?
No, no popcorn,
Chicken Wings?
No.
Me: what exactly do you have at KFC?
Them: Sorry we don't have any chicken!!
-
Crikey Steve, you must have really wanted to impress - KFC no less!!
