SUSAN EDWARDS, WHO AIRED HER FRUSTRATION THAT LIDO CORFU SUN HOTEL ON THE GREEK ISLAND DIDN'T SERVE ENGLISH FOOD, SAID SHE WILL NEVER BOOK A HOLIDAY WITH TUI AGAIN 23:40, 04 Jun
2025Updated 07:13, 05 Jun 2025 Regulars at the Corfu hotel blasted by a British gran for not serving enough English food have hit out at reviews left by "pathetic chavs". Lido
Corfu Sun Hotel on the Greek island came under scrutiny this week after Susan Edwards, 69, said there weren't enough chips and she became "sick to death of looking at rice".
Since then, the hotel boss has defended the menu, describing the offerings as "generous and diverse", and said "fresh salads, fruits, hot and cold dishes" are served
daily. And guests have taken to Tripadvisor and Google Reviews since the spat to defend their beloved resort, insisting Ms Edwards' criticism is unfair. One became so enraged they left
their first-ever Tripadvisor review to brand other guests as "pathetic chavs". The account, created only this month seemingly in response to the row, rated Lido Corfu Sun Hotel as
five stars out of five. The review reads: "Don't listen to pathetic chavvy Brits and Poles who bought the cheapest 'all Inclusive' package in existence and demanded type
of service only the most entitled and uncouth would. It's a fine, charming little place. Close to water, nice food and clean facilities. Thankfully, no British food!" READ MORE:

seemingly tongue in cheek, praised the offerings for Scottish guests in the critique, left hours after Ms Edwards' story emerged. Article continues below The tourist wrote:
"Phenomenal hotel, very comfortable and well located for a relaxing holiday, we are regular visitors. Excellent all inclusive food and drink package, they really go out their way to
cater for Scottish visitors. "We enjoyed draught Tennant’s lager, Irn Bru was on tap (diet and full fat), square sausage on a roll at breakfast, scotch pies and bridies at lunchtime,
and there was always a choice of haggis or mince ‘n tatties at dinner. Tunnock’s tea cakes and shortbread were available all day, along with Scottish Blend tea. The staff are lovely and
cannot do enough for you. The Greek dishes are also immense, which is a bonus, as Corfu is in Greece." And the majority of guests on Google Reviews rated Lido Corfu Sun Hotel as five
stars out of five. Plenty of these top reviews have been published in the last few days in the wake of the criticism. One reads: "The food is delicious. The service is great. We arrived
at 4am and at 8am we got a room and wristbands and we could use everything. On the day of departure after adding the key to the transfer itself we could use all the facilities and food. We
sincerely recommend." Article continues below It jars hugely with Ms Edwards' experience as the gran, from Westerhope, Newcastle, said her holiday was "horrendous" from
the minute she, her two cousins, her second cousin and her daughter arrived. TUI offered the guests £100 in holiday vouchers, with a spokesperson saying they were "sorry to hear"
about her experience. They said: "Our priority is to ensure customers have the best possible holiday experience, so we are sorry to hear that Ms Edwards felt dissatisfied with her
holiday. We have been in touch directly with Ms Edwards to come to a resolution."
