While i was at a customers during the week,see if you can spot the mistake

Why do you need to bother ordering if you've, well, bought your own food? Or is that just for drinks...

Well not we'll?

Who's garden? That's good service

Possibly a missing apostrophe on the 'its number' since the its could be possessive.

What's the prize by the way-do I win the internet?

Missing apostrophe on 'well'...should be we'll

I found that at a pub in loughton,milton keynes,none of the staff had noticed ....

It is surprising how many spelling mistakes you see when menus are hand written on a blackboard, can be quite amusing.

[Sir Tigger KC]

It's piss poor on several levels.  The printers obviously didn't notice either pre or post print, nor did anybody at Harvester..... 

Or maybe they all did and thought " It doughn ma' aah... "

Apostrophes on "it's" are always an abbreviation of "it is", and are wrong for possessive cases. It should have been "we'll" rather than "well".

I agree. I was taught that it's considered possessive if it belongs to something or someone, not a word!
My sister in law-a teacher-argues this with me, which is why I said possibly.

She also disputed the existence of an Oxford comma, completely unaware of it until I told her what it was.

Something I used to use until recently
Language rules do change, they were trying to do away with apostrophe if I remember correctly but spelling mistakes are unforgiveable especially today with spell checker ETC.
The funniest bit of graffiti I saw was on a green Telecom Box in big black letters ... FUK OF. I blame education

Harvester are exactly the kind of establishment who probably have a corporate policy not to use the apostrophe at all in their communications because it's it is "misunderstood".

As such, their use of English is about as rich and wholesome as the sad, limp contents of their salad bars and other provisions "fresh" from the back of a 3663 lorry.

Hardly surprising when the suppliers use numbers instead of letters for their company name/logo

3663 being FOOD on the telephone keypad
