"All licensed premises in England and Wales are required by law to provide free potable water to their customers upon request." So as this restaurant has a sign outside saying that they serve alcohol it is illegal to not serve tap water! Not sure how often this law is actually enforced by the police though haha
Oh, I just commented about the same thing haha. But it’s actually _not_ just if the restaurant serves alcohol! If they serve alcohol, they must offer free tap water, but even if they don’t serve alcohol, they must at least offer tap water for a price. This woman refused any kind of tap water, paid-for OR free. You are right that the law isn’t often enforced by the police, but seeing as it is against company policy it could contribute to the restaurant’s eventual closing-down. And seeing as there are so many other bad things about her company, it would most definitely have an effect!
S K, that’s true most of the time, but if it’s in a restaurant that serves alcohol, it _must_ be free! Though I am only speaking for the UK, as that’s where I’m from :)
They're losing money because they're so outdated etc. So they raised their prices so they don't have to sell as much. That does push customers away so you can tell the person in charge isn't the brightest
They are not making their rent from the food they are selling. This is probably a front for a money laundering scheme, hence the high prices and terrible food. to deter people from actually coming in. could be even the reviews being staged to further this effect.
Gordon would have been like.... “It’s RAW!!!” “The chips are UNDER SEASONED” “the burger bun is DRY and the burger is BLAND.” Also if your reading this have a great day/night
Breakfast at Tiffany's people are doing all kinds of things in them if you do it you will see what we mean they will be in there dressing gown or something
They cannot refuse tap water as they sell alcohol I was sad and checked if they do but yeah if you look it up they HAVE to provide free water filtered/ unfiltered as they serve alcohol...Edit...watched further you googled it xD jumped the gun but yeah was out of order lol
Raquel Fernandes there are different types of cucumber in different countries, there’s a cucumber called the “English Cucumber” and the skin is very easy to eat and digest where as other types of cucumber are tougher :) xxxx
The wait for you to tell us the price of that salad was so suspensful. Like a whodunit. I love it. You're a very detailed reviewer. Would love to see you do more of these.
Not serving tap water is illegal, in the UK, any establishment that serves alcohol (which this one does as you can see on the board around 8:50 they were advertising beer and wine) are obliged to serve tap water when requested. This place has a liquor license, they should serve tap water.
Judy Keown I disagree. I’m in the US too, and some places leave it on, some places peel it off- it really depends. I personally find it weird when places peel it off.
I know this place; used to walk past it every day on my way to Victoria. It has a large pile of pale, insipid looking cookies in the window and you just know they're the same cookies that have been there since 2006 and that they've just never been purchased.
You should go and try Big Bites Cafe in Hanwell West London W7. They are still closes due to coronavirus but once they re open as they doing full refurb i do recommend you try it! Best fry up in London so far!
That price disparity is wild for what you got. But I’m a little stuck on realising how inexpensive even the nice cafes are there! I live in semi rural Oregon (~3 1/2 hours south of Portland) and even in our smaller town a fast food salad is more than the fancy ones you quoted, let alone cafes! And yes before anyone mentions it I did convert from pounds to usd lol, still blowing my mind. Although I think coastal states seem to often have much higher food costs, so maybe middle states like Kansas and Iowa are more similar to your prices? Idk, still surprising regardless. Now I’m curious as to how much lattes and whatnot cost at a non-Starbucks cafe there.
No way! I swear when I visited London a while ago which I don’t do often at all I went to this exact same restaurant! I remember seeing that book shelf and that ice cream freezer and that exact layout. I remember that wall outside. This is probably the biggest coincidence that has happened to me in my entire life. I remember the food being overpriced but I don’t remember the food being bad.
I’m having a real hard time understanding these prices!! A salad in my city is like $17 minimum....to be fair I guess they’re a lot bigger. But even like quick, packaged salads are $10.
Jahnavi Singh the pound and dollar are different. The pound is alot stronger than the dollar. Why do Americans not realise this when us brits make these videos
@@mollyx3176 yes I get that but there's obviously a reason why in a busy place like London, that there are no customers in this cafe. The surrounding ones would have probably been heaving with people!
I live in Australia and I was in London, 8 years ago and we had lunch in this cafe, we had the fish and chips and they we really good, as for prices it hard to tell when you are a tourist. The service was to funny, the lady was scary to say the least, every time someone came in she would ask, “you eat lunch?” A group of 4 people came in after us and used the toilet and went to leave. The lady barked at them, “you use toilet and not eat, you pay £2 each” she wouldn’t let them leave till they coughed up the £2. We thought it was so funny. Each time I’ve been back we have gone past but I decided not to risk another meal. 😂
Love the use of the megaphone. Think I recognized this place it's the Palace right a few TH-camrs also did this place like Meet the Vloggers who are from London.
This has made me realise how good the quality is of the cafe/ restaurant experience in New Zealand. Your meal is around $32 NZD. I'm all for 'no frills' food but come on.. do it with some passion!! You'll love it here in NZ. You can get a beautiful meal for $32!
10:27 that quoted passage mentions "All licensed premises", which I presume actually means licensed to serve alcohol. If this place serves alcohol, I suspect they could get that license suspended for not providing tap water.
In the US we often cut the skin off of a cucumber before we serve it. Maybe it's a regional thing? lol And perhaps the extra charge on your bill (over and above the 14.45) was for the bottled water? Just wondering...
I'm from the us and I was so confused about thr whole tap water thing. Where I'm from the tap water isn't always safe to drink (like at my school, there's lead in our water, and the city pipes aren't always the cleanest) so most places are required to sell bottles water
Rubens at the Palace! , I always stay there when I am in London , love their bar and the Bag o Nails was a nice little pub too back in the day, Used to have the Churchill was nice as well
Oh my God love you so much! The ☎️ phone call to Gordon Ramsey though xoxo lmaooo 😂😂😂😂 I love the reviews people do on google reviews hilarious they go hard in the review.
Hey Grace! Loved your video! Like it as well! I wanted to tell you that the reason for the different colours of the table pepper is because of the different level of freshness of the pepper. the bottom lighter black is older and you can tell that it is because the older the pepper is the more exposed to air it was. Because the restaurant is LAZY they didn't throw out the old pepper just added new one on top of it!!!!!!
This girl has absolutely no harm in her at all. What a beautiful human being.

I no the feeling wish my socal life was as exciting as that burger lol

It made feel thirsty looking at it.
It is NOT nit picking to say there was nothing on your burger. Like sorry, no lettuce, sauce?? Scandalous

So as this restaurant has a sign outside saying that they serve alcohol it is illegal to not serve tap water! Not sure how often this law is actually enforced by the police though haha
You could report them to trading standards for it tho

It could be fronting as a restaurant but doing other things in the back.

What is wrong with people!
yous should watch "three girls" on netflix changes the perspective of it all :(
Jennifer O'Donnell thank you😊
She was like “the burger is a veggie burger so it probably doesn’t need more veggies so let’s just put the burger between an burned bun”
but there wasn't even condiments on it. it was dry.
That veggie burger looks like a Lidl veggie burger which you can get a pack of four of for around 79p (I think) just noticed that haha
Lidl can actually be quite decent, in comparison. 😉

Sixteen whole English pounds. That’s unreal.

Probably a front..... sniffs of money laundering to me 🕵🏼♀️
Then you need to be actually turning over money :P
summersoul3 you only need to look like you are to the taxman
The proximity to Victoria station maybe supports this?
Lol like Breaking Bad
What makes you say that?
I think they cut so much of the cucumber off because the outside had probably started to go off 🤔
Momisspaghetti
Some people just don’t like the skin. My mom used to cut off the skin on them for our family dinner salads.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 THE SKIN IS BITTER. Not in all types of cucumber, but the gherin ones are.
We always peal cucumbers here, so I was confused as to why she was complaining
Lots of people peel cucumbers. I don't see the point myself but it the skin tastes a bit earthy I guess??
There are different types of cucumbers, some has bitter skin that's why they peal them.
Your “just woke up” look is my “put together” look
😂😂😂
Never eat in an empty restaurant, there is ALWAYS a reason why it’s empty
The chips were probably good because they came frozen straight out of a bag.
Ugly Vegan - frozen chips are the absolute worst, only fresh potato chips will do
It’s probably a drug front seeing as the food is terrible and there is no one in there
Should have gone to the bathroom while you were there always judge a place on there toilets!
They obviously didnt have a bathroom. I don't think they expect people to take a bath there
The price thing reminds me of Fleabags cafe, just "London".
HAHAHAHAHHAHA YES
😂😂£10 tomato
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha. Loved that!!
Omg, the state of the burger!!!!! I honestly think that you were too kind, Gordon Ramsay would have ripped it to pieces !!!!
empty restaurant is always little suspicious, would be nice to see more similar type videos.
Need Grace to do a '' Worst Chinese/Indian Takeaway in London '' if her digestive system is feeling brave of course. 😂
I think you deserve a highest rated place after that.
Gordon would have been like....
“It’s RAW!!!”
“The chips are UNDER SEASONED”
“the burger bun is DRY and the burger is BLAND.”
Also if your reading this have a great day/night
Yes, after he threw up in the restroom.
Natasha he’d throw in quite a lot of “fuck!”s too😂🤣
Moon Lampje we keep it PG13 here 😂 but you’re right
Have Nice you’re self 🤩
He will also ask for the lamb sauce
“Going on Facebook Marketplace and looking at mirrors...” hmm, I’m intrigued! 🤔😅😂
Have you never done it it's hilarious people forget that we can see the rest of the room
A lot of naked people..
“oNlY BotTtLE” even if it’s not illegal to refuse tap water, it’s just courteous costumer care to do so
Places have to serve tap water, even if they charge for it it has to be an option
“It’s like going on Facebook market and looking at mirrors. That’s a fun little hobby I have”
Girl, same!
Dani Heart yes I love that people can never workout how to take a picture of a mirror
I didn't understand this, looking at mirrors is entertaining? 🤔
Breakfast at Tiffany's people are doing all kinds of things in them if you do it you will see what we mean they will be in there dressing gown or something
Breakfast at Tiffany's hey man, I like seeing what’s on market place. Including looking at mirrors. What’s there not to understand about this?
@@elliottslab sounds like a laugh, must have a look haha
That food wasn’t acceptable for a restaurant, the burger looked a bit sad and burnt. And the decor...
You could do a series collab with Taz!
That would be amazing and so funny!!!
There has been a couple of vids where they have briefly mentioned each other so I think they are friends.
@@Twiggycmt they have done some collabs already!!!!
Imagine if they moved in together
Literally the only person i'd ever watch do this
But the veggie burger was literally just the Pattie in a grilled bun! No sauce, mayo, salad, nothing! NOTHING 😲 how bizarre.
They cannot refuse tap water as they sell alcohol I was sad and checked if they do but yeah if you look it up they HAVE to provide free water filtered/ unfiltered as they serve alcohol...Edit...watched further you googled it xD jumped the gun but yeah was out of order lol
Please do a dad does my ASOS shop, we all want to see it, cheers love❤️

Love that you totally don't follow the trend when it's 'on trend' 🙌🙌🙌
when the review said “poor”, i really felt that
Please PLEASE visit the highest rated restaurant/cafe in London!! So interesting

I actually cackled when you said going on facebook marketplace to look at mirrors is a fun hobby
The bun is burnt and that looks dry! No sauce no salad :/ yeah that looks poor

How do places like this is exist when ‘spoons is so cheap and decent
J spoons not decent. The owner is a horrible person. Do not support him
With a caff that void of customers and food with absolutely zero care put into it, it's likely a front set up for money laundering.
Kay Wales especially with the rolls Royce outside...

I Spain they take the skin off the cucumbers too cos they have a thing about the skin being dirty/hard lol
Freya Finch It wasn’t so much the no skin on the cake, what was hilarious was the shape of the slice😕

Those are English laws for English people.
