My boyfriend and I had an overnight stay at a local high end hotel for a treat. We're saving so aren't going on any holidays so it was a nice thing to do something different. We're also both vegans and had heard good things about the vegan food there.
We went out for dinner but breakfast was included in the price. I've always wanted to have room service breakfast but never done it, but we'd gone out that night and wanted to sleep in during the morning. So that night we filled in the breakfast slip. We ticked off all the vegan things for breakfast. It wasn't much - tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and hash browns, but that's normal for us (never much choice!) and also left a note at the bottom to say we were vegan.
The next morning we're waiting for breakfast, starving and looking forward to it. We hear a knock on the door and my boyfriend gets up to let the room service in. The guy puts the food down and leaves and I hurriedly jump up to see what we have.
We ended up with half a tomato, 6 button mushrooms, 1 hash brown and maybe a tablespoon of beans each. To say I was annoyed was an understatement! It was really poor form. This would have probably been an acceptable amount had we also had it with sausage, egg , bacon etc but we couldn't, so surely the chef could have given us a bit more of each! Also for context we paid £100+ for the night stay and breakfast.
As we were so hungry and also in a rush, we just ate it instead of complaining, and I emailed them the that afternoon. They offered us a free breakfast for our next visit which was nice, but we haven't been back.

EDIT: Whilst we paid about £120, that was because it was booked last minute. Rooms actually cost between £210-£270 and is a 5 star hotel.
