I brought a gift card

I brought a gift card - Hungry horse which I checked could be used in Flaming grill pubs as all green king. My local pub Whitehills wouldn’t accept it! I spoke to customer services who were excellent and refunded me.

Sophie was great

Sophie was great. A real credit to your team. I made a mistake with an amount in the booking. I wasn't expecting a quick turnaround for Black Friday, but response was super quick. And all resolved. Thank you

Great Customer Service

I purchased a gift card for my son and unfortunately he hadn't received it via his email address. I contacted Customer Services (Sophie) who not only responded in a very quick manner but she also re-sent it back to my email address very rapidly.

All Explained

I had difficulty understanding some of the terms and conditions on the gift card. I received a very quick, and very helpful, response from the customer care team.

Great customer service!

I had a gift card that, when I entered the details to check the balance, came up with ‘Failed to retrieve the Card Details, please check the Card Number and/or Pin’.

I emailed Customer Care and within 90 minutes they had responded and let me know the balance on the card.

I'm really impressed with the speed of their reply and, even better, was knowing that I still had money on the card.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I tried to use my gift and found it had expired the day before. I emailed customer services and in a couple of hours they replied to say it had been extended by a couple of months.

Use email not online query option

Used the online service to query a balance on the card as i could not read the pin number but received no response at all. Emailed direct using the provided email address and was responded to quickly with the answer to my query. Customer service great - online service poor!
