TEAKS PLACE

[manbearpig]

Open letter to "Teaks Place"

 

Dear Owners/managers,

 

I had heard so much about your spot in the last month or so that I decided that even if my mates weren't keen I was gonna come check it out this last weekend.

So on Sunday morning I rammed down some oats and left my place in Fourways area. I did a round about loop of about 40km to get to your gate.

It was well after 9 when I got there and unfortunately the lady at the spaza shop informed me that the shop was not open yet so could not buy any kind of snack. "No problem" I thought, "i'll go do a loop of the farm and then buy something for the ride home"

The ride started out pretty boring but kept getting better and better. It turned out to be a great 21km!!

When got back to the spaza shop it was still closed. No one to be seen?

Feeling like I could now eat the arse out of a dead skunk I decided to spoil myself and have one of your now"famous breakfasts" at the restaurant.

It was 10.45am and your hostess chick told me "sorry breakfast closes at 11" and I was not going to be served. I explained to her that I had ridden from home and that I really needed anything, ANYTHING!!! to eat. When I told her the shop was closed she said she'd ask the other manager/owner to help me. He told her "the shop is closed because......." and then walked off??

With a shrug of her shoulders she turned away and started talking to another cyclist who was then complaining how the prices had increased dramatically since the previous week. Listening to the conversation I realised that you people are really only interested in ripping people off and using the gimmick of your bike trails to perpetuate your weekend thievery. My suggestion to you is to get a hostess who has at least ridden a bicycle before to run the show so that we the riders can at least get a bit of chit chat in before you mug us. In closing I really do think you suck and i'd rather smell the wafting sh*t and eat the grissled boerie rolls at northern farms then visit your place again.

 

Yours sincerely,

MANBEARPIG

Feeling like I could now eat the arse out of a dead skunk..

 

LOL. I'm so glad I'm not that skunk

 

Ja, that place service sucks big time. Me and the family ones ate there and had to look for someone for a while and when we found two peeps hiding we begged them to take our money to pay for the meal so that we could go home Lekker MTB single tracks though...

Well done on letting the Hubbers know!

 

Now everyone can vote with their wallets

i stopped off there once with a couple of other biker chicks on our way home from a girl's brekkie run - also had really bad service.

Please control your sugar lows.

I agree. I think Teak place is such a cool concept & has something for the whole family - BUT everytime I have been there the service hase been up to SH!T.

 

I have been there at least 5 times now & never again. I have experinced teh same breakfast issue you mentioned. I also once waited 55 minutes for a breakfast after ordering.

 

Then when they have races and stuff there - they then charge like R16 a coke.

 

I too will rather go ride in the poo at N-Farms
