My lovely Sunday lunch place

We went out for Sunday lunch this weekend and had a starter and a main course which was just what the doctor ordered.........🙂
However, the puddings there were hugely calorific and sweet - fine if you're not diabetic, but really not worth it.🙄

However, when we paid the bill, I asked the manager if they could pop a fresh fruit salad on the end of the dessert list for next time because I was watching my sugar intake etc.
She immediately said " No problem. When you book next, ask for a fresh fruit dessert with no added sugar and we'll get diabetic ice-cream in for you as well in case you fancy some of that "

I was impressed because she didn't have to do that, but she said that she HAD thought of it before, but more for Weight Watchers/Slimming World people.
But she said that a low fat/sugar alternative should be included on the menu and was going to try to implement it.

There ARE helpful people out there...............that place deserves a little award !
 
If you don't ask you don't get, most restaurants are all to willing to oblige to keep their customers happy.
 
That's a lovely response Flo.
Perhaps worth dropping a note in the post to say Thank you for listening.
 
Well, actually, I was thinking just that.................and I'm taking my friend over there on Thursday because it's her birthday, so I will pop a card in then.
