inform the environmental health dept and they will visit to inspect...you are also entitled to compensation for loss of earnings etc if they are found to be trading beneath expected standards as set by the h&s commission!

First of all, you need to call the restaurant and ask to speak to the manager. Make an apt to see a doc and see if it's food poisining. It could be something you ate prior to the food at the restaurant too. After seeing a doc they should tell you why you got sick. And doc does say it may be food from restaurant. You may call the restaraunt with prove.You may also want to call the health department and let them know about this.
Don't call restaurant w/o evidence and ask for money back right away. You got to undsterstand that restauarant gets phone calls like this all the time. They will think you are trying to eat for free. If you really got food poision from the restaurant they will give you money back and pay for your medical bill as well...This may take a while b/c they have to go through their insurance.

There is a huge difference between food poisoning and an upset stomach. The only way to know if it is food poisoning is to go to a doctor instantly and get tested. Lots of bacteria kick in much later and it might have come from another meal you had beforehand. If confimed environmental health and the hotel should be informed.

Write them a strong complaint letter, explaing what you ate, the after effects and ask how (not IF) they will compensate you.
Suggest that as an establishment with such an esteemed postcode, they should be far more careful with their preparation of food and that your James St friends will be ill advised to visit in future.

What bad luck.
Samples to the doctor will confirm type of bacterial poisoning and what food caused it.
Speak to Westminster Council - Environmental Health Officer and explain what's happened, show doctor and lab report. They will investigate whether it was a one-off or the restaurant needs to review its practices or close.

If You're sure You couldn't have been contaminated somewhere else,tell Your council's health inspector!
Food service businesses work in co-operation with the health department-They need to know if something went wrong so it can be fixed.If others have reported a problem,that'll back Your case up and make them give it priority.

I normally throw up when I get food poisoning. You could try that. Another good one is to sit on the loo and empty the entire contents of your bowels into the pan in one violent burst of liquid.
Well, that's what I seem to do, anyway.
Hope that helps.

If you are sure that's how you got it, report the matter to the council.
They will inspect and if the place isn't up to standard you can have a go at the restaurant and it won't just be your word against theirs.

Take the doctors bill to them, and rapport the incident to the health department.
