Patricks Pub and Bingo
Funspot Bingo recently changed caterers from Harts Turkey Farm to Patricks Pub. Tonight they held a large stakes game and there was a fairly large crowd. (Nope did not win a thing :D).
You used to be able to get a full turkey dinner from Harts for about $7. Things have changed and not for the better. The catering was terrible. The quality of the food was lousy, it was expensive and they did not bring enough food for the event. I hope that both Funspot and Patricks realize that this was extremely badly done.

Well jet, if you going to get on here and bash, please be accurate! The cost of Hart's Turkey dinner was $7.95 not around $7, as far as running out, indeed they did run out, but you didn't say what time you got there? This was Patricks 2nd week of operating there, so just like any resturant, things need to be worked through. As far as comparing Patricks to Harts, with what they offered at Bingo, there is no comparison, All you have to do is look at the menu and see for yourself. Its to bad you didn't get a meal and had to go hungry, but they did offer wings and dogs for most of the time after they were out of the main menu items.
It appears you don't go to bingo often up here, when your up for the week-end. I just hope down there , they don't run out of food at your local bingo in Mass. |
And No, I didn't win anything either ! :look: There is always next time.

I, for one, appreciate hearing about these experiences. But if the story is consistent with other actions taken, I can also form my own opinion as to whether a person's experience might be universal, or isolated. I have also eaten at Harts, and I think there is room for lots of improvement there. |
Really!
Thank you "This and That"!
"Topwater", I indicated in my post that the cost was ABOUT $7 when Hart catered the event. FYI I arrived at the event about 5:30 PM and that was over an hour before it actually started. Were you there? Thought not! I indeed hope that Patricks gets this right in the future. But, they really messed it up last night. I figured that posting here would get their attention to actually correct things. Jetskier :cool: |

http://www.patrickspub.com/index.php My past experiences with Alan Beetle et al have shown they indeed want to hear of any displeasure by a customer. Just a thought. |
No Bashing
In my opinion I didn't think Jet was bashing, When I read it my thought was "hhhmmm- wonder what happened", after I read the third post I went back to read it again ,assuming I had misread it, nothing in the original post struck me as bashing? Again just my opinion.

Well Jetty, I was there just slightly before you, I did have a very nice Turkey wrap from Patrick's, and I heard rave revues from other about the sirloin that was served. And about the prices you claim were high, what exactly were the foods that were priced high?
The quality of the food was very good, numerous people I heard mentioned it was good. So maybe next year when you come up, there will be a ample supply of edible food for you enjoyment! I hope you win and eat well in Mass. |
animosity
Top, what is up with the animosity and references to Mass? Jet posted his/her opinion on a forum.
I happen to love Patrick's, but it sounds like they are going through some shakedown issues. |

Just the facts...
Hi upthesauke,
You are absolutely right. I sent an email directly to Patrick's to articulate the issues of this past Saturday night. I will be quite interested in their response. topwater - this is getting old...not sure why you want to argue the point, but here is the information. I arrived at 5:30 pm and after getting my cards, I went to grab a bite to eat. The only choices at that time were as follows:
I spent a total of $15 for two sandwiches and two small drinks. In contrast, $15.90 would have bought two full turkey dinners previously when Harts was catering. So, this is expensive IMHO. By the time the event was half over, Patrick's had closed down completely. You could not get a drink out of the case (grabbed some water from the vending machine). Previously, Harts would have had some decent desserts and been open pretty much for the entire time. If you think that this was well planned and executed, you have an interesting idea of how this should be done. I know that a number of patrons complained because we talked to the volunteers handling tickets. The manager from Funspot was completely annoyed that someone would even bring this up. This guy probably should be in the back room rather than in front of customers. OK, I did not want to get so down, dirty and detailed...but those be the facts matey. Jetskier :cool: |

Still Lousy

Sooo, I figured that I would give it another shot. Tonight they had lasagna, chowder and hot dogs. I got the lasagna...one piece of lasagna, no sides, no salad, no rolls, nada...$6. From now on, I will eat before I go. Jetskier:cool: |
Go to Hart's first

I've been to Patrick's a few times and found the food to be appropriate for their pricing. The service and atmosphere were very pleasant. Unlike many of the other dining places in the Lakes Region, it's very roomy too, especially if you have a big crowd. :)

Not the same
Patrick's caters bingo and there is no comparison with what they serve at the actual restaurant. If the fare was comparable, then I believe that there would not be an issue.
I believe that they won't see decent revenue from catering bingo as that is a value oriented crowd. The market always has a way of adjusting these things. :D Jetskier:cool: |
Patrick's Pub is a great place to eat.....love the atmosphere......plenty of room inside for big party's.......great food, reasonable priced......AAA+++
|
We love Patrick's too but..........

I believe you are right Jet, the bingo crowd generally goes for lots of food for as little as possible. |
A weak moment
I have been eating dinner elsewhere prior to Bingo. Incidently, most of the patrons that I have talked to are pretty unhappy with the food. I had a weak moment tonight and bought a brownie. You can not mess up a brownie, right? Wrong! Basically, not cooked and awful.
They continue to serve swill; most people are not eating and I noticed folks sneaking in Wendy's. You would think that Patrick's would be embarrassed by all this; I would if it were my business. Jetskier:cool: |
