The Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common

Had a very poor experience on Friday evening.
Started off ordering the Lamb, but when it arrived it was grey, dry and tasted bitter. The waiter assured me that it was indeed served the way it was intended, so I asked for the rib-eye, medium to rare instead. That promptly arrived around the time the rest of my friends was finished eating - grey with a touch of pink in the middle - In other words, extremely overdone.
This prompted the head waiter to be overheard saying "now they are just being disrespectful" at which point I gave up on getting something decent to eat.

Frankly, I can take the mishaps with the food, but not the snooty comment.

I should point of that the rest of my party was happy with their food.
