This document is ideally suited if the service charge was automatically included within your bill and the restaurant refused to deduct it. You can't use this document if your complaint is about the quality or standard of the food. This document is suitable for services bought by a consumer (not a business) in the UK.

If you have had any additional costs caused by the cancellation of the booking, you can also use this letter to recover these additional costs.
Demand a refund for an unsatisfactory meal (Guidance Notes)
If you have had an unsatisfactory meal at a restaurant, you can use this letter to demand a full refund for the meal.
