The Jolly Fat Chef - Bakewell

The most beautiful, picturesque courtyard! Me and my grandma enjoyed our lunch and some drinks sat here. Quick service, amazing food and felt like we were sat in Italy with the sun on our faces. The perfect summer spot. We have attended a pizza night with a singer too. Best pizza I have ever eaten!!

Absolutely horrendous. Don't go to this place. We were treated with rudeness and the staff were extremely off hand. There was no attempt to cover whatever issues they were having. The food is overpriced and the menu is very poor. My advice to you Jolly Fat Chef is to actually be jolly instead of upsetting your customers with rubbish service and foul attitudes. We will not be returning as no attempt to offer us an apology or compensation for such an awful experience.

The response to this has been to make up a complete false account of what actually happened. We were not asked to leave. We left because of the awful way we were treated. There were no attempts to correct the problem attitude. The staff just closed the restaurant and we could hear the staff screaming ar each other from inside the restaurant. Other customers were coming and leaving as they also were not happy. You have belittled the fact it was all over a sausage roll in your rude response to us on Google and you have totally missed the point . Your waitress and the lady in charge refused to acknowledge that they had been rude to us. The rudeness started the minute we tried to order. The lady in charge and the waitress were talking loudly so l could hear that they wished a member of staff would come back as they were not coping. Then the girl serving me scowled at me and didn't say a word....there was no how can l help you...she sarcastically, very sarcastically said "You can take that back". She motioned to the wooden spoon that has table numbers. So as you can see this was not just about a cold sausage roll it was a a whole attitude that we were subject to. Still no acceptance of this and pure denial from the management. When l challenged the waitress for her rude attitude as she was very reluctant to warm up my sausage roll, she had a go at me for not asking her earlier !
ALSO WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REFUND AT ALL ...we were most definitely not given our money back ...we left once we finished. We were sitting outside and the doors were locked while we ate our cold sausage roll...it was still cold even after being supposedly warmed up!
What a lie!
