Know your rights

There’s no jargon in our rights guides. Instead, they’re full of the info you need to get things sorted. We’ll always be on hand with guidance and support to help you get the results you’re looking for.

Get your voice heard

You can be certain that you’re talking to the right person at the right time. We automatically connect you to contacts at thousands of household names, ombudsmen and regulators to find a resolution.

If you believe that the restaurant has misled you in their pricing practice, you should ask to speak to the manager and express your concerns. Issues such as these are covered by the Consumer Rights Act. If you are unhappy with the manager’s response, Resolver recommends that you submit your concern in writing to the owner or manager of the restaurant.

You should know

Always try to resolve your issue while you're still at the restaurant
Notices limiting the restaurant's liability must be prominently displayed
The food should be of a ‘satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described’
Service must be carried out with ‘reasonable care and skill’ and ‘within a reasonable time’
Restaurants are only responsible for damage to personal items if it is due to negligence on the part of the restaurant

The Consumer Rights Act

The majority of your rights come from the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Consumer Rights Act sets out what you should expect when you pay for a restaurant meal. It also outlines what you should expect when things aren't up to a reasonable standard.

ADR

Certified third-party mediators, called Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers, are available to all businesses to help when a dispute cannot be settled directly with the consumer. The system offers a quicker and cheaper way of resolving disputes than going via the courts. Once the internal complaint process is exhausted, businesses must give the consumer details of a certified ADR provider and tell the consumer if it is willing to use them. However, businesses do not have to use ADR unless they operate in a sector where existing legislation makes it mandatory, such as in financial services.
