"The food we received tonight was nothing to rave about. It was a rushed meal which fell completely short of our expectations. It was my brothers graduation to which we had booked a table of five. My Mum had tested positive yesterday and unfortunately could...not attend. My mother is a nurse who has worked endlessly throughout the pandemic. As if it was not bad enough my mum not being able to attend a huge occasion and having to FaceTime us whilst crying to see what the restaurant and food was like, when we came to pay the bill they at first the waiter did not take off our deposit. We then asked for the deposit to be taken off to which they only removed as my mum did not attend. This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour. When we arrived there were around tables in the restaurant empty and the whole bar area empty. We did not make you lose custom we did not take a seat away from another table nor was it a weekend evening, which if it was we would understand. It is a Tuesday with plenty of tables available. When it was raised that we were not happy we were told that it was the rules. I pointed out that the restaurant was empty and that it was appalling. These ‘rules’ were never communicated with ourselves nor were they in writing. Considering the situation right now, this should be highlighted! We would not have attended if this was the case considering three of us work for the health board! It ruined our evening and ruined our day. We had spent over with you and you could not honour our I am still in shock of the absolute disgraceful behaviour I have witnessed tonight. I would completely understand if we had massively reduced in number, if the restaurant was busy and we had taken away earnings, but this was not the case. Disgraceful behaviour. For the sake of you ruined a very special day."

"5 guys, easy I thought I 've had 30 at once during my carrier as a WWE wrestler... What can I say about 5 guys other than don 't bother! I found myself visiting my ancestoral home of Swansea Prison and I ended up meandering my way up Wind Street when I stubbed my toe and screamed you smarmy git! on the front door of Five Guys in Swansea. The interior decor was akin to that of the Woolworths lunch counter of 1960s fame. Charming. Quirky. With a seasoning of segregation and racism. I will never understand the American way of thinking. They are truly a bizzare lot. Cheese, guns and mom 'n pop type diners (an image and ideology that belongs more in the history books than front and center stage in Swansea). I was greeted warmly by the server, he said can I take your order sir? And I simply replied No! Before skipping out of the restaurant . I realised after an hour of telling people I was The King of Swansea and behold my mighty throne room! While pointing at the public toilets in the Quadrant, I was hungry and decided I knew what I wanted. I ordered my food and boy oh boy, this was NOT a meal befitting my status as King LeCox. I love hotdogs. But this was a bland, tasteless, boring as all hell hot dog. I have picked my nose and eaten more flavourful things than that hotdog. It boggles the mind how an allegedly good food chain can mess up something so basic.
