May secretly contain nuts
A few weks back, a friend of mine was turning 21, so he suggested we all go out for a meal. For those of you who live in Lewisham, it was the little Sri lankan place opposite Nandos...do not go there.

There was hardly anybody else in there (no-one to start off with in fact...should've seen this coming) and we persuaded them to move a few tables so the 12 of us could sit in a group. Everybody orders, can't remember what I had but it was alright. About 10 mins in cue birthday boy and his brother calling over the waiter because there were secret peanuts in the dish which weren't written in the menu, and they happen to be allergic to peanuts. They ask them to take the plate away and bring back some without any nuts...

Waiter goes away, comes back with something similar looking, but with no nuts...on the surface. A couple of minutes later they find more nuts...obviously they've just taken the dish and tried to scoop out as many nuts as they could find. This is pretty fucking dangerous, considering the nature of peanut allergies, and the birthday boy had to take a few of his tabs, cos he was starting to flush over a bit, needless to say him and his brother refused to pay.

I'm pretty sure that legally restaurants are obliged to either have the nuts written on the menu, or something saying 'may comtain nuts'. They didn't even have a sign anywhere saying 'all products may contain traces of nut', as they're prepared in the same area...maybe I should ge tthem inspected...
