I have worked for your company and all I can say is the staff are underpaid and overworked. There is no fairness across the team. This company can put their prices up of there food and drink yet they do not increase the wage of their staff, not to mention the renovations that are costing them millions of pounds but yet they still do not increase the wages of there staff. Lastly this company does not pay out there staffs holiday pay in full once they have resigned, both my sister and I were paid out an amount and are both outstanding holiday pay to the value of 400.
When contacted to resolve the issue, they stated that since I have been taken off there system there are no longer records for them to refer to, not to mention that they remove the records off Selima so that you cannot dispute the issue.

Whoever runs their pub The Grove in Exmouth is an absolute creature of pure arrogance. Do not dare to review and criticise especially their prices as you will just be informed their establishment is above your means although it's simply just a nice pub in a nice spot the manager clearly thinks it's the Savoy and they should cater for a certain element and presumes anyone who dares to criticise is a mere peasant.
As a regular visitor of Exmouth I would rather go bin dipping than go back into an establishment that is clearly run by complete snobbery. Times have changed and outdated dinosaurs like this should not be in charge of hospitality venues when they treat their customers with utter contempt.

Avoid eating here at all costs. I contracted the CAMPYLOBACTER bacteria at the White Hart Sherfield and subsequently had violent FOOD POISONING for an entire week. The restaurant appointed someone to investigate who found nothing untoward in the restaurants usual practices but had some glaring omissions from their report including the fact they had interrogated me on what I and family had eaten at home prior to this and the fact none of them were ill despite us eating the same meals and the meal at the restaurant being the only different one and also made the claim that campylobacter is caused by Poultry when both the WHO and FSA advise it is also caused by cattle/red meat.
Both the Food Inspectors and restaurant told me their findings could never be conclusive and that even said "you'd have to be a fly on the wall to see exactly what happened that day". Furthermore they colluded with the Environmental Health Agency and provided them with their report rather than them inspecting and conducting their own independent investigation. Despite all of the above being pointed out to them restaurant still decided their report was enough to not do anything about it.

We booked a Table at the White Hart, Barnes last Evening Fri Oct 20 @ 18.00. The was a Lady inside Front Entrance checking people in. I am very conscious of COVID & I mentioned to the Lady that the place felt Stuffy with ALL Windows & Doors Shut tight. She replied that it was Cold with Doors open and as a result we didn't stay. The Government advice is for max ventilation, this was not good enough & your Staff should be made aware of this! Regards Vic Condon Putney Ps She did call me 15 mins after we left to say she had opened a Door, but it was too late then.
