The driest roll I ever did clap my eyes on.

I opened it up to add sauce and burst out laughing seeing that I received a total of 0.6 bacon rashers and dry unbuttered bread for £5.
Turns out they were all like this, wasn’t a fluke.
I received compensation in the form of 2 bacon rolls that had 3 slices of bacon in each the following day.
Now looking back on it, even funnier to me was the employee that actually opened it to check before serving them out, saw it was 0.6 rolls and closed it back up and proceeded to serve it. I should have asked for a refund or a different one but I was drunk and found it was so funny in the moment I totally didn’t consider demanding my money back. That and they were all like that on the night.

OK, but did you talk to them? Ask for a refund? Hotels (especially hilton) aren’t trying to possibly lose a customer over a £5 Bacon Roll, especially as this one probably cost less than £1 to make. Also most employees would just laugh with you on how sad it looks and just refund it.

I think we need to get more accepting of demanding refunds for unacceptable food.

Very much taking ‘a bacon’ to its limits

You sure it wasn’t “bacon, roll”

Funny, we were in a Hampton by Hilton in York a few weeks ago and thought the breakfast was the best of the regular chain hotels (and you don’t have to pay extra for it).
Albeit I didnt ask for a bacon roll…

The Birmingham Metropole truly is one of their lesser hotels. At least the CFz food trucks slap!

They basically just stole your money here. I mean, fuck I’m pretty sure you’d have gotten better food from a homeless shelter.

Only £5. You got a great deal comparatively.

Help me out as a Yank who’s never had one: it’s supposed to have butter as well, right?

Hotels almost always have the worst food. I never eat at a hotel restaurant.

That’s terrible. My old job put me up in a Hilton for a week once and the breakfast was actually pretty good? This was quite a few years ago now though so they must have gone downhill since then.

Metropole? If so, seems about right.

Paris didn’t get her dog its own house by letting the company give away extra bacon you know!!!

what’s worse is that bacon has probably been left under a lamp for the last 10 minutes, I dunno how you justify that, they must be losing cost elsewhere to be making up for something with that

You are in the location, where you should complain.
