W’s Diner in Peterborough

I visited your store on 8th Jan at 22:22 where I ordered a hot chocolate and an apple pie. The apple pie has been sat for a while as it was barely hot and the lady called Madalena said I would get a fresh one in 5 minutes. She delivered the new and extremely hot (too hot to eat) apple pie to me. I took one bite and found the middle was hard in the apple chunks. I explained this to Madalena who huffed then said she cooked it to the right time of 5 minutes. I understood this and gave my card for a refund. She looked at me like she didn't care about the food not being cooked properly. I explained how I was given food poisoning at the College Arms on 24th December and really didn't want to be sick again. She took the apple pie away and came back with a unhappy look saying I can't give you money back as you eat the pie. I said how will I know if it's uncooked it I don't taste it. I took one bite. She said I am not allowed to give you money back as my manager said you are it. I said ok I'll make a complaint. She said I give you money back but you ate pie. I said I ate a bite to find it not cooked. She was continuing to argue to me. I then spoke to Cristovio the shift manager and asked him why she was so rude or me. He said she told him I hate the pie and now wanted a refund but then threw the pie away. I explained what happened as above and asked what will happen as I found she needed more training on being customer focused as she was changing her views on the refund and arguing about me tasting the pie to find it not cooked yet she feels 5 minutes as directions to cook a pie was cooked. I explained that years ago when I worked in that store, a customer burnt their tongue and the company made staff write dates and time did cooked apple pies. I then asked where the time was for the pie as I saw no time. As the pies need time to cook yet to still cook on the inside to make them fully cooked throughout as fried items still cook on the inside after you take them out of the oil. He didn't know this fact. I said I feel the pie was not left long enough to start to cool and left to cook fully on the inside. I explained how extremely hot the pie was and it should not have been given to a customer as one bite would have left someone with no skin in their mouth or tongue. The shift manager was understanding yet I found him immature to be a manager to understand simple standards of store management and staff supervising. He tried to do a refund but instead charged me twice and then apologised. He then refunded me 2 apple pies. I just found this experience especially dissatisfied and unprofessional, unsafe for the heat of the apple pie, the mistake of a refund, the member of staff Madalena being grumpy, rude and unhelpful blaming me for the pie being not satisfactory and the shift manager being unable to deal with the situation at the time. I did ask the shift manager if we can deal with this complaint now however he wanted me to email and do the online review which I am happy to do. I will also do a Google review with this exact email comment as a copy and paste. I would like to please know how you wish to correct this vast number of issues from health safety of over heated foods to burn customers to the under cooked apple fruit inside to the unprofessional conduct of your staff towards a customer

Staff from there to kinds and food quality 🥰🥰🥰banging 😎

The food is always nice and the staff are polite. My problem is the amount of times food is missing! We check before we drive away, but when ubereats delivers it via mcdelivery you're stuffed, paid £7 for a burger and service and delivery charge as we couldn't go and collect on this ocassion, and was refunded £2.63 for the main part of meal being missing! What i always wonder is, how do they always manage to miss food off so many ocassions, but never actually put too much in 😅

Amazing food, quick service and a fantastic team!

First time ordering from them there food is amazing and great portions sizes I would recommend going there
