Bought gift voucher for London…

Bought gift voucher for London steakhouse a year ago but went there on Monday. Had 5 course meal and drinks. Very small food portions indeed. But then got charged another £40 odd pounds ontop of the gift voucher amount. Ok we had bottle of water and side of potatoes and coffee. What a rip off. Got given burnt food. The service was kinda good. But really. Cover charge and then service charge. Awful. Let the customers tip you if they feel it’s worth it. Won’t be going back to that restaurant or using buyagift ever again. As they don’t tell you what these restaurants will charge you after you’ve had your meal. Welcome
To RIP off Britain. You make enough money form the meals anyway. Better off going to Nando’s for a meal. Seems everyone that goes here has a voucher.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that the dining experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be when additional charges and elements of the meal experience come as an unwelcome surprise, and we're sorry that this left you feeling dissatisfied overall.
While we're pleased to hear that you found the service to be good, we appreciate your comments regarding the food portions, quality of some dishes, and the extra charges incurred during your visit. Feedback like yours is invaluable, and we'll ensure that your concerns are shared with the relevant team and venue partner for review.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We regret that this experience has affected your perception of both the restaurant and Buyagift, and we appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.

Date expiry

I mistakenly read the expiry date.as being the date of purchase and bought an unnecessary sxtension so otherwise it was good.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that your voucher was set to expire, and it was going to cost over half of the original fee to extend. If you would like to discuss this further we would be more than happy enough to look into this for you. If you reach out at trustpilot@buyagift.com

Excellent customer service

I contacted Buyagift about an experience voucher that had unfortunately expired without being used. I completely understood that the voucher was outside their normal terms and that they weren't obliged to offer a refund or extension.

However, after I explained the circumstances, the customer service adviser, Tony, took the time to look into the situation again and went above and beyond their normal policy to find a solution. They offered to extend the voucher free of charge or, alternatively, exchange it for the full value as Buyagift credit, which was particularly helpful as it gives me the flexibility to choose an experience that will be more suitable.

I was genuinely impressed by how understanding and accommodating they were. Rather than simply saying that the voucher had expired and there was nothing they could do, they took the circumstances into consideration and found a very fair solution.

Excellent customer service and a really appreciated gesture of goodwill. Thank you, Buyagift!
