Deepti Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Always wanted to go to house of tippler since I recently moved to the area but was disappointed with service when I finally went. My drink was VERY unhappily changed after a fly flew in it and it was suggested to me that it's fine to drink it after pulling the insect out - could not believe I was being told that, thought a place like this would have higher hygiene standards. Safe to say I won't be going back there. It's a shame as seemed like a decent place, but shocking attitude from staff.

HonaloochieB Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Unless the fly was employed by the HOT, which would of course be ridiculous, then I think they were decent enough to exchange it.Arrives with fly? HOT at fault.Delivered and left with you, fly invades glass, which of course is what Brer Fly does, then a 'judgement call' as to whether the establishment is responsible or not.Couldn't begin to calculate how many insects I've hoiked from a drink and carried on gargling, but I suspect my standards may be different to yours, Deepti, but I refuse to raise them.Tell us truly how you broached the matter with the help. Appears to me they did well in offering you an exchange, perhaps a little credit is due?

HonaloochieB Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I haven't even clicked the link SteveUK1978 provided, but if it isn't along the lines of the punchline being, 'Don't tell the others, they'll all want one', or variations thereof then I'll eat my own head.With fly sauce.

ratty Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have no idea what the house of tippler is. Surprised you didn't leave wearing the drink though tbh!

speedbird Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Agree with both HB and KK. Having walked up and down LL today, the place is covered in flying ants and flies. The fault of HOT that one of them decides to take a dip in your glass? Methinks not!Very strange attitude......I am always amazed when people ask for refunds/replacements when it's clearly not the fault of the business. Reminds me of a thread within the last few days.

Alan Medic Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Perhaps HOT can apply to the council for NO FLY ZONE status. That will stop the pesky flies.

feuerberg Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Its a shame you feel like that, i think you should give them another go, I've only ever had good experiences and Tim the owner is a great mixologist. Their Back bar is full of amazingly beautiful Rums!

NickT Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I often frequent House of Tipler and have found them to be cheerful and friendly with really great cocktails.Seriously! You want them to replace a drink after a fly flew in it? Quite happy you won't be going back there so I won't have to bump into you Deepti.

Deepti Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Really didn't mean to offend HoT supporters! But honestly thought getting the drink changed wouldn't be a big deal. Ah, maybe I am a drama queen! Great to see so much support for the place tho, maybe I will try again (when it's not fly season!)

RdeN Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You should always be able to ask for a replacement of your drink regardless the reason why. Good customer services always pay back...

Lowlander Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I doubt there's an establishment outside of Park Lane that would have obliged your request. Just pull it out and drink it.
