The Bungo

I've visited 'the Bungo' on a number of occasions and it always suffers from lack of communication within the staff. On a recent visit for a coffee, I was asked no less than five times if I wanted lunch, even though it was after 2pm.Last night wasn't quite so bad but when you've just discussed the Tuesday Special Burger with the waiter you don't want the manager then to come to your table to tell you all about the ...Tuesday Special Burger.... This week was an Irish themed burger and pint of Guinness special for just under £10. Unfortunately the 'special' removed the hand cut chips and salad which normally accompanies the burgers and replaced them with two potato croquettes and a small green garnish. I was just about to send the burger back for being cold when I realised that the top of the burger was hot and the problem was that the burger had been served on a cold plate. My partner was not drinking and opted for the non special deal burger and her chips didn't stay hot either as her plate was also cold. An initial explanation from the manager that they didn't heat the plates because of the salad, was soon replaced with one of not have a plate warmer, when I pointed out that there was no salad with the 'special'. Get a hot plate and serve the salad on the side and improve communication between the staff if you want to please your customers experience.
