So it's not unheard of to be contracted for 45 hours at £7 per hour but end up working 60 on the equivalent of £5.25 per hour? I assume like it or lump it?
yes at least from my experience outside the UK but I cannot imagine it is any different.

I have worked in some places where written and signed copies for overtime have magically disappeared just before they are due to be paid out, which is normally when you leave. It's not a few quid here and there but thousands. The huge problem is customers would not like to pay even more to eat out which would allow for a better wage. I have yet to work for or with anyone who keeps to the contract that doesn't work in a large kitchen (canteen/catering etc). Perversely, the basic pay and holidays are better and a lot of chefs end up in such a place but there are no perks such as tips.

This. I actually found it quite a funny read and quite refreshing, I wish more things in life were this upfront and honest.

It's 4 1/2 hours away, but the ad makes me want to pay them a visit when it's open.

I live just along the road. It'll struggle just like all the others there, parking a car outside is damn near impossible.

I'm very local to the area, will give it a shot when it opens.

This area of the south side is very well served for eating out (Clarkston / Giffnock / Newton Mearns).

Over the past 2 years, all the new places are mainly Italian bar Catch Fish Restaurant in Giffnock.
