Had a Gourmet Guide gift voucher for my birthday and used it to take my wife out for a lovely meal at The Blue Bell 1494 in Chester. I will be happy to recommend the Gourmet Guide to my family and friends.

Simple to use!
Easy on-line order process to generate gift card - order history not currently present on the site but is to be added soon. Very helpful customer service to correct my error on initial order. Service fee of 10% of card value not that visible until final payment.

I was given a voucher by colleagues as a lovely birthday gift. Owing to certain circumstances, we haven't had an opportunity to use it before now. I rang up to make a reservation for my husband's birthday meal only to be told that it had recently expired after 9 months and there was nothing I could do. It's very unusual for vouchers of this kind to expire before 12 months. The lady I dealt with was rude and unhelpful. With other experience/ gift vouchers there is an opportunity to extend or even pay a small fee to extend but this is not an option alas. It is such a shame as I was really looking forward to finally being able to use the voucher. I would definitely recommend this company's competitors but cannot recommend them sadly based on my experience.

Great idea
This is a really great idea and we had a lovely meal. The only problem that we had was that the restaurant had no idea about the voucher. Your confirmation email clearly states that you don't need to take your voucher with you to the restaurant but I ended up having to email it to the restaurant as they had no copy of it

A lovely gift and easy for the recipient.
Very easy to send as a gift and easy for the recipient to book restaurant and use the voucher. I wish there were more options in Wales!

Unable to offer extension
I received the voucher as a gift but have been out of the country for most of the year and was unable to use it. After not getting through once I called again, only to be told that my voucher had expired. They neglected to say on the voucher that it can be extended for 3 months if you call them, which would have been useful information to know beforehand. Their excuse for not being able to extend it was tax related which I thought was inflexible and unsatisfying.

The e-mail was sent to my brother but he did not receive it - rather it was in his deleted emails weirdly and we had to do a lot of digging. Would use again but annoyed.
EDIT - I received a call from Gourmet Guide and lots of apologies - would use again!
