Woman outraged after being served SIX chips with pub meal
A woman is furious after being served a pub meal that came with only six chips.
The Metro UK reports that Tina, 53, was dining out with three friends at a Liverpool pub after a night of bowling when the incident happened.
She and a friend had both ordered the fish and chips off the pub’s two-for-£10 ($17) menu.
When the meal arrived she was so displeased she took a photo of the pitiful chip situation and sent it to her husband.
Kevin, 60, told the Metro UK “she sent the picture on WhatsApp and I must admit I laughed.
“I was at home with our son and daughter and we were just sitting down to our man-sized portions of curried prawns, rice and real homemade chips!”
Kevin encouraged his wife to make a complaint. As any pub-goer knows, that’s clearly not enough chips.
“My wife isn’t the type of person to make a fuss or complain, but I immediately said to her that I would have sent that back and said ‘I think you have forgotten to put some chips on my plate’.
“It is basically five and a half chips and the other meals were the same, I think they had one portion split between four.
“I don’t know how anyone could justify or explain that as a portion of chips. It looks like a toddler’s meal and even they would be able to polish off more than five chips.”
On Twitter, the pub Greene King promise to have the “best fish and chips”. But the promo photo of the fish and chips shown is remarkably different to the meal that Tina received.

Pub management has apologised to Tina, writing “the portion size of chips shown doesn’t meet our guidelines and we are very sorry for any dissatisfaction caused. We’d love to invite the guest back into the restaurant for a complimentary meal.”
