A shocked mum has slammed a play centre after she discovered it was serving up undercooked meat to children.
Chloe Bradwell, 17, was "disgusted" to find pink mince inside the cottage pie served to her younger sister, two, and daughter during their visit on Tuesday.
Her daughter, also two, had already eaten most of the meal, which was covered in mash and gravy, hiding the undercooked meat inside.
She and older sister Lauren have now complained to Tumbles play centre in Mossley, Greater Manchester, Manchester Evening News reported .
And bosses have admitted the dish "wasn't cooked as much as we'd have liked it to have been", saying they have dealt with the problem to make sure it never happens again.
In a post on Facebook , Chloe said she was "absolutely fuming and so disgusted in the staff and especially the management".
Chloe, from Ashton, told the paper: "You couldn't see the meat at first as it was covered but then we saw the pink and it was just disgusting.
"You just wouldn't expect a play centre to be serving something like that, but then when we complained their attitude was terrible. That's why I took it to social media to make other parents aware."
The manager of Tumbles, who did not want to be named, said the pair had accepted his apology at the time, along with a refund and replacement dishes.
He said: "We have identified the problem and put measures in place to prevent it from happening again.
"We've admitted we made a mistake and apologised. It was an oversight and we have changed some of the methods we use in the kitchen."
The manager, who has been there since it opened five years ago, said the venue has a five star rating from health and hygiene and says he has full confidence in his staff.
He said: "We have an excellent record, we serve more than 30,000 people a year and very rarely have any problems.
"We were last inspected in May and there were no issues raised. I have full confidence in my kitchen staff and in myself and they have full management support from me."
Chloe has taken her complaint to Tameside council's environmental services.
A spokesman for the authority said: "This complaint is now the subject of an investigation so it would be inappropriate for us to comment in more detail at this stage."
