ZEROZ = unhappy easter bunnies

[Julia]

My mum and her friends went to Zeroz in Wick for lunch the other day, they waited an 1 hour 30 minutes for fish and chips, she asked to see the manager twice and he didn't even bother talking to them! One of my friends had a very similar experience and gave up waiting and left with a refund.

Does anyone know if there is any official body which regulates the types of music that is played in different types of establishments, the reason I ask is on one of our visits to the aforementioned pub there was some extremely unsuitable music being played in the presence of children, mine and others (teatime on a Saturday), I brought it to the attention of the manager who was so interested in what I was saying he just walked away and ignored me.

Pity as the food is pretty good but we won't be going there again!

the night I went for a glass of wine there was NO white wine to be had!!
No bad for a bar.

forget about the bar lol, i was in a shop in Thurso and the woman was the most grumpy faced woman i have ever seen or heard. I told her so to, and i hope that i will never gurn in such a mannor and if i do then please lock me away.
I do not agree with taking children into bar's it is not a kiddies place, but i also see no harm in it if it's quiet.
An hour or more for chips, an hour or more I would have had a field day teasing the cough cough outta the cook

Went to Zeroz for lunch today and had my food within 10mins - it was excellent, and they even took my plate away straight away after I had finished, which they never used to do. Maybe I was lucky but I would go back again.

I thought a white wine fruit based drink for the lady was the law?
By the way, I thought ‘zeroz’ was a copy machine?

[poppett]

Where is this eatery?

Zeroz was a sci fi film with Sean Connery wasn't it?

Where is this eatery?

Formerly know as Sinclairs and before that Carters, it's opposite the camps car park in Wick.

Sounds interesting... what was the music?

I prefer the red grape variety myself

Zerox is the word you're looking for, North Rhins, world famous apparently

Um Rage Against the Machine - 'Killing in the name'

Will need to try there, whereabouts is it?

[SNOWDOG]

My cousins took my wee boy there for lunch the other day and had to leave after an hour because he was so hungry. Apart from the disappearing waitress there were no staff!!

[Jeemag_USA]

I worked in catering for long enough and despite how busy you get it does not take someone that long to get them their food, even if the place is heaving. if I was letting people wait anywhere close to an hour I would expect to go out of business pronto! I used to work in the Fountain Restuarant in Thurso and even at peak tourist season when we were heaving I bet nobody had to wait more than half hour for their food, not even close to that and we kept the take away up as well. If your kitchen is prepped properly and you chef and kitchen staff know what they are doing you should never have to wait more that twenty minutes even at the busiest of times. There is a busy restaraunt close to me which gaurantees your food in under 14 minutes any time of day, they put little stop clocks on the tables like the ones they use in chess matches, if they are longer than fourteen minutes you eat for free! Zeros sounds like a very apt name to me.

It's up past the college I think (Liquid, in Thurso, I mean)

Joint on to the cinema and bowling alley isn't it?

Have to say I had a couple of meals in Zero's before it became so. Food was lovely and didn't wait long at all. Haven't been since it changed though.

[obiron]

was in there last week, the food was nice but im not a big fan since it was taken over. no atmosphere.

Then perhaps it should change its name to outerspace.

A little off topic to your thread, but at least when they are young, kids will hear what they are familiar with. You know the Daz add where the band reforms after they get their T-shirts white again? Well my 5 year old loves singing to it: " I'm too sixty for my wife, too sixty for for my shirt to sixty by far...... (bellowing at the top of his voice). I wish I had a cam for these moments. I would save it for his wedding day
