karohemdFrom a friend who had a bad experience last night:
So, if you have allergies *do not* go to the Wok'n'Grill/Coach and Horses in Cambridge, ditto if you are vegetarian. I asked *specifically* if they had a veggie wok, and they told me they did, put my food in a sieve then put meat in a sieve on top f it. When I pointed this out, they rolled their eyes and I told them I had a severe shellfish allergy, another eye roll, they then took the same wok they had just fried oysters in, put a spoonful of water in it and swirled it around, then threw my (newly collected plate of food not covered in meat from the sieve) food in. I asked *again* for a veggie wok and said I had allergies, and with more eyerolling they told me they had just thoroughly washed the wok - it still had pieces of food in it! They had one wok and two pots of what looked like water or soup that they just threw everything into without separating it in any way or making sure there was no cross contamination. Had I not been paying attention as much as I was, I could have ended tonight in hospital or worse.
Update: my friend has reported her experience to the relevant authority and they are going to investigate accordingly.
