Groupon Belfast Steak Deal... Hope you weren't expecting steak!

One of our readers made in interesting discovery this morning- 


 Apparently, Jimmy Brown's of Belfast isn't serving steaks for the steak deal they offered last week. They have a daily 'steak quota' and once they surpass it, you will get chicken or pork.


This was never included in the original Terms and Conditions of the deal:

'Steak Dinner for Two for £15.50 at Jimmy Browns (Value up to £39.90)

The Fine Print to this deal simply states that the voucher expires June 30th, and it is only redeemable from 5pm-9:30PM Wed-Sat.

With 2,500 vouchers bought, that's a massive 5,000 steak dinners Jimmy Browns will have to produce and we were wondering how they were going to accomodate everyone.
Its apparent now, everyone will not be receiving a steak dinner.

The following feedback was left on Groupon's Facebook page:

'hard to get through on the phone but deal is extended due to number of responses. Hard to get weekends but I went tonight. If u are expecting a steak be prepared there are only so many allocated. We arrived at 7.30 and all gone.'

What?!? No steak?!? For a Groupon deal that promised steak?!?

Groupon's response was callous as always: 'Thanks for your comments, we're sorry the steak was over but glad to hear the food was good : )'

Customers have been writing enquiring why people are not getting steak, as this wasn't included in the original terms of the deal.

Groupon's response: 'We've taken note of this and we'd like to assure you that this has been passed on to all concerned, to address but if you have any further concerns please feel free to contact out cs team and we'll do our best to help. Happy Friday : )' Well Groupon, its not 'Happy Friday' for those who bought the steak deal is it?

If you have bought this deal, we would recommend you call Trading Standards at 08454 04 05 06. And the Advertising Standards Authority at http://www.asa.org.uk/.
