Poor customer service. Courier displaced the parcel and the customer gets the blame.

Absolutely abismal - I order mussels for a dinner party on the 22 Dec - sat here till 2 o'clock heard nothing - no calls, no messages, no email updates - rang only to be told this would now not be delivered today ! I understand that there are strikes and people are swamped but common decency says you let the customer know so that they can make alternative arrangements! I now have only a few hours to sort out an alterntive - due to the total lack of communcation! to say I am angry is an understatement !

We live and dine out regularly in London and love seafood, but the party of seven we were treating to a Christmas lunch were really shocked by the strange, surly attitude of our waiter. So much so that my daughter insisted the service charge was removed from the bill at the end. My wife was first to order, after which he suddenly said 'so is that it then?' looking at the rest of us. He then took the rest of our orders with a reluctant aire and immediately left without asking about drinks. One of my party then had to find him to come back and take our drink order, normally done first in other restuarants, the first bottle of wine was served nicely by a girl, when he brought the wine, he poured two glasses, then walked off with it and left it out of sight on a shelf, unattended, at the back of the restuarant for some reason, another of our party then had to find him again to ask where our wine had gone! Very strange behaviour, which really took the edge off of our Christmas reunion sadly.

We went for a drink,had a lovely time,decided to go to he Riverside which is just few steps away only to be approached by the waitress and accused of not paying for the drink we have had,althoy you have have to pay while ordering it at the till. What was a nice evening turned to be spoiled by the false accusations the waitress has made
Helpful Report
Our delivery arrived too warm - some of the fish had internal temperatures above 8 and one was at 13 degrees. Quite surprisingly the customer service option was that it was all fine and that we should get on and eat it. In the end, they did refund some of the fish, but not all that was spoilt. I could never trust this service again and worry that there is a lack of consumer protection for fresh fish deliveries when the supplier takes this attitude. Your response below was factually incorrect, the fish arrived at the following internal temperatures which you have pictues of. - mackrel - 13.3 degrees - monkfish - 10.7 degees - tuna - 10.2 degrees - monkfish - 9.4 degrees - salmon - 5.5 degrees - hake - 6.6 degrees - sea bream - 6.3 degrees I did put all in the fridge immediately, I have thrown out the tuna and mackrel that you refunded. I've opened the monkfish - which stunk and certainly not fit for consumption. It's not a great experience at all - made worse by your lack of care. I will be reporting you to food standards - as you continue to ignore that you have a responsibility to deliver fish that is safe to eat. And you don't care when it doesn't arrive in a fit state. -

Hi Daniel, Thanks for taking the time to review your order. The temperature readings you supplied upon delivery showed most items between 5 and 8 degrees which is the ideal safe limit. Two items, according to your readings were over the target of 8 degrees which you were refunded for. A couple were at or around 8 degrees and the advice was, that these items would be perfect if placed in the fridge straight away. I'm sorry that you don't feel you can trust our service based on this as we will always endeavor to rectify any issues that may occur. Best wishes, The Wright Brothers
Emailed Wright Bros twice for advice on my order (frozen prawns were semi defrosted on arrival) and no response received. Poor show.

10% of oysters were open and 2 of the three people who ate the remaining ones were ill! To add insult to injury I emailed you on Tuesday but haven't had the courtesy of a response. So, clearly zero customer service. Even worse, yesterday I was lunching at Bentleys in London where I often organize private dining with Richard Corrigan, and I saw the Wright Bros van pull up with what looked like a delivery. If that's where the oysters are coming from, then I shall move my business.

Hi Sheila, Thanks for getting in touch with your concerns and for your time on the phone. I am pleased to have been able to go through the stringent food safety safeguarding procedures we have in place and hopefully, this is of some reasurance with regards to our products. I look forward to investigating this matter further with you as discussed, on your return. Any food safety issues are of the utmost concern and we have robust procedures to not only safeguard but also investigate such matters. Best Wishes, Team Wright Brothers

Went for drinks - really disappointed to see they are still using plastic straws. With everything known about plastic waste and so many credible substitute products available, for a restaurant of such repute to be still using single use plastic is really indefensible
Helpful Report
Hi There, Thanks for getting in touch with your concerns, You are quite right that it is unacceptable for restaurants (or anyone else) to still be using plastic straws. Ocean sustainability is very high on our agenda, as you might imagine which includes reducing plastic use as much as possible. We currently use two types of straw in our restaurants neither of which are plastic. - Black bendy paper straws - Frosted clear straw which feels like a traditional plastic straw but is in fact a Compostable Drinking Straw – it’s made from renewable sources - corn, not oil and is recyclable. I hope this reassures you somewhat - Keep up the good work calling out unnecessary plastic use! Best wishes, Team Wright Brothers
Shellfish box was a present and apparently the food was extremely good. The advertised Oyster knife was missing from the box. I sent 2 emails to Wright Bros for an explanation and no reply received. Summary Food 5 star; Communication 0 star

Hi Stuart, Thank you for getting in touch and for your time over the phone. I sincerely apologise for not receiving your communications. We aim to respond to all emails and calls the same day and can usually get back to customers immediately so I'm not quite sure how this happened. As you can see from the website description and contents list, an Oyster knife is not included in the Fruits De Mer platter box but we appreciate your comments. We are always working towards making the information as clear as possible. Best wishes, Wright Brothers Team
A very disappointing meal at the Battersea Power Station restaurant today. The meal was expensive & the staff were indifferent. We weren’t shown the Specials board and no suggestions offered for side dishes to accompany the main courses. The hake & mashed potato was the most unappetising looking dish ever seen. The £90 dish had to be sent back as the beef was under cooked, resulting in some members of our party waiting for others to finish, no apology was given or even a discount offered. A very different experience to our previous 2 visits to your South Kensington restaurant. This was a birthday celebration meal, it put a damper on the occasion, thanks!!!

Ordered the carabineiros prawns for the weekend for delivery Friday morning to receive an email late on Thursday to say you we’re out of stock…..you would have known earlier in the day that they weren’t available, so not impressed atall.

Hi Sarah, Thank you for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the disappointment caused. Our supplier let us down at the very last minute as a result of weather conditions and shortages, and we informed you, the day before your scheduled delivery, at 3.00 pm, once we realised there was nothing else we could do to fulfill your order, but I can ensure you that we tried our best. We understand that this was unacceptable and the outcome was of an unsatisfactory experience. A member of our team will be in touch with you shortly to discuss this further. Kind regards, Wright Brothers Team
Clams received on the 10th had a tag saying they had been packed on the 1st! Half of them were dead. Not happy customer.

I ordered oysters and mussels the goods arrived unchilled 5 of the 24 oysters were open, the mussels are inedible and smelt horrible. E mail sent to customer services no reply. Very dissatisfied paying for a premium premium product and recieving such bad quality.

I ordered 36 oysters and we had to throw 14 of them away, some were open and some had no liquid in when they were shucked, we couldn’t take the risk and eat them. Customer service sent a generic response to my initial complaint and have now ignored my last email, it’s not how I expect to be treated when something goes wrong.

First order Key missing items from first order. Remembered the oyster knife but forgot the oysters! I received a voucher which only covered the delivery as compensation. Wasn’t the best Valentine’s Day. Second order The voucher didn’t work so had to call and finally we decided if I placed the order and send over the order number I would be refunded the amount of the voucher (£15), absolutely fine just a bit annoying that it took time. Then got a call saying that they were unable to driver my items on the requested day...so had to settle for the next delivery spot which was two days after my initial confirmed date. I am sorry to give one star but was a terrible experience for both orders.

Dear Fraser, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the inconveniences caused on your orders. We aim to provide the best experience to all of our customers and are extremely disappointed that we did not provide this to you. With regards to your second delivery, we were unable to deliver due to the markets being closed after the bank holiday weekend and our team could not source any fresh products. We have passed your feedback on to our team and we are currently working on improving our services to ensure all our customers have the best experience. In the meantime, we will be in touch directly to discuss this further. Kind regards, Michelle
I didnt have a clue when the delivery was coming... they claim to give you a 2 hour window but it was only after my emailing them that I got a response telling me they would arrive by lunchtime.. i wasted the morning by then ! When they arrived I shuck one oyster to find there was very little water in it... the rest went in the bin. This was my second order from them... first one was fine.. second one awful.

Hi Ozmen, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that a member of our team has been in touch with you with regards to this matter. We just wanted to sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience caused with your delivery. At times, the 2-hour notification email can end up in the junk mail, we are sorry if this has happened. We can assure you that the oysters are only sourced fresh for each order, and are disappointed to hear that the ones you have received were not up to our usual standards. We have passed your feedback on to our team who will be looking into this. If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us again. Kind regards, Michelle
I am afraid we were extremely disappointed, not with the quality, but with the size. To have to pay £54 for a turbot the size of a large/ish plaice was outrageous. We had referred to your own recipe for 4 people for your turbot with potatoes and fennel. However, your website says that the turbot only feeds 2 - 3 people at a pinch. The weight of the one we received was just under 1 kg. Not enough and too late to buy anything else for our celebratory lunch for 4 people. Added to which, the dressed crab was also tiny. I took photos and am quite happy to forward them to you if required. Please get back to me on this.
