A cafe owner was forced to issue an incredible comeback response after reviews claimed she was spotted shopping in Aldi for food for her café.
The owner of Harbour Cafe Bar in Southport received two similar reviews which prompted her to respond publicly on Google reviews - and her response pulls no punches.
Her clapback to the critics has been branded as "amazing" and "perfect" by fans of the cafe, reports the LiverpoolEcho.
Two reviews, left on the platform, accused the owner of buying steak and ham for the cafe, despite the menu for the business not serving either of these items.
One review, posted by a 'Stuart' said: "Unfortunately I won't be eating at the Harbour café due to this morning a member of staff wearing harbour uniform shopping in Aldi.
"Now you can argue that either it's to tie them over until their delivery has turned up or food shopping themselves but with eight steak, five butter, eight packs of ham so defo for the café then goes outside to jump in a Mercedes.
"Sorry to disappoint you all but the produce isn't what I would call fresh but if you call it fresh as in picked up from Aldi this morning then you're spot on.
"But it may not be that fresh as we don't know how long it's been in Aldi's warehouse for so a steak in Aldi is £4 and they charge £21n quids in all round 100% profit 5x over the amount paid, rip off."
In response, the owner replied to the review and said the bar does not serve "steak or ham on the menu" and that she was doing a personal shop.
It reads: "Hi Stuart, I was actually doing my home shop. The steak is for my husband and children and ham for the dogs. If you actually visited the bar you would see from our menu there is no steak or ham on the menu.
"We get our meat from Broughs Butchers in the village, obviously you haven't seen them deliver 2-3 times a week either!!!
"You will be pleased to know the butter is for the bar as we don't use margarine and my husband had the Bentley so I had to use the Mercedes. Thanks for the review Stuart."
On Facebook, Harbour Cafe Bar posted: "REALLY it makes you wonder if these people have nothing better to do!!
"Same review twice so had to respond."
A number of customers applauded the "amazing" response and praised the business.
One person said: "We use the Harbour on a regular basis and love it. Great service, nice people and considered very much a part of the community. Great reply by the way now ignore."
