I think Mugg and Bean service stinks and good for Sanparks getting rid of them

All very well and I agree, fact is they are busily concocting and conniving
replacement value for the sake of appeasement!! Value(monetary gain)
in terms set there as a priority, while attempting to soap and lather visitor
expectation!!

As far as I have understood, it was not really the "Mugg and Bean". They had outsourced it to another company

In this matter , I think I am behind Sanparks .
M&B gave bad service right from the start , and it appears that they failed to pay Sanparks . Therefore is correct in terminating the relationship , however M&B is disputing it , and in doing so , their service is now even worse , which exacerbates the situation . In fact , they are trying to blame SP for the very problems that they themselves caused
And generally , that does them no good at all
Oh , and BTW , their service even here in Worcester in the Western Cape is terrible

Ja, M&B can't just shift the blame. They are part of a huge brand and need to do more!
Famous Brands, in fact...

We really liked Mugg and Bean last year (Sept. 2016) when we were in Kruger, and this year (Sept. 2017) there was a very noticeable decline except for the Lower Sabie restaurant. We were planning on eating in the restaurants at Letaba, Oliphants, etc., but after our first evening meal at Letaba we decided to skip eating out and fix our own food.
Even Mopani, which gets good reviews didn't seem any too special - same limited menu as the others.
Cattle Barron was wonderful, we really enjoyed our 2 nights dining there.
To each his/her own I suppose.

Oh man , this makes me long for the by-gone days way back in 1970
Dinner time was announced by a guy walking around the camp playing on a " mbira " - made from a number of flattened nails fastened on a piece of wood and played by strumming the nails with your thumbs - ding dong ding dung ding dang dong ding ...............
.
Dressed waiters attended to your order from a menu , including a wine list on offer ---- and the food was
good
And it was a pleasure to give the waiter a tip
