A pub has barred a woman for naming and shaming them on social media after she spent £21 on a Sunday dinner that was pathetic.

Katie Lou complained after paying £20.83 for a Sunday roast (pictured) from the Hope and Union pub in Stockton, which she claimed was 'freezing' and 'looked like a kids meal'

Katie Lou tweeted a photo of her rolled pork belly takeout from Hope and Union in Stockton, Teesside, and criticized it as being “cold” and “quite chewy.”

The mother paid £20.83 for the lunch via Uber Eats on Sunday, October 23, and when it arrived, she claims the portion size was extremely little and the food was ice cold.

Katie published a picture of her bland-looking lunch on social media after complaining to the pub, and she has subsequently been banned from the establishment.

Never again! I’d rather starve to tell you the truth! Don’t even get me started on portion sizes!
