Well it turns out @livechonews will review anything. Perhaps they could review Greggs next. #pointless http://t.co/ECuTdvyC

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews nowt wrong with the echo reviewing these places. Problem is the lapdog, positive only, criticism free reviewing.

@Alex_Henley @LiverpoolRR Don't recognise that - review meals are paid for by us and are done anonymously

@LivEchonews @liverpoolrr paying and being anonymous isn't a guarantee of knowledgeable critical writing.

@Alex_Henley @liverpoolrr But it is a guarantee against 'lapdog, positive only, criticism free' reviewing. Reviews are genuine opinion

@LivEchonews @liverpoolrr no it's not particularly when all these restaurants are potential advertisers.

@Alex_Henley @liverpoolrr That plays no part in writing of the review at all, of any review. Completely independent

@LivEchonews @Alex_Henley so why review a cafe that buys all its food in from suppliers that pre make it and say that it s really good?

@LiverpoolRR @Alex_Henley Because that was the reviewer's experience - simple as that

@LivEchonews @Alex_Henley Do you not see that reviewing crap food and claiming that its great destroys your credibility?

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley our writers review a wide range of places. If our readers eat there, there's no reason not to review

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley but the reviews are inaccurate and encourage service of poor quality mass produced food.

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley what's misleading? @tinamilesuk makes clear that the food is delivered. It might not be your choice

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley to eat there, but there's nothing inaccurate. In answer to your question, there's no reason not to

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley review anywhere with a cafe or restaurant, be that fine dining or a greasy spoon cafe.

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley Yes review anywhere, but if the food is crap say so, don’t encourage people to eat mass made rubbish

@LiverpoolRR @JadeWright @Alex_Henley If the food is bad our reviewers do say say - that's the point of the review

@LivEchonews @JadeWright @Alex_Henley they didn’t in this review.

@LiverpoolRR @JadeWright @Alex_Henley Which means they enjoyed the food

@LivEchonews @JadeWright @Alex_Henley then you need to use reviews who know what good food is, clearly they are lacking in knowledge.

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley all of our reviewers are experienced fully trained journalists. They choose where they want to review

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley But what do they know about food? The evidence suggests not much.

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley that varies from person to person. I spent years working in restaurants to pay for my NCTJ training

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley so why would the Echo publish this review by a knowledgable reviewer, when clearly it’s wrong.

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley it's not wrong. It's just not your opinion.

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley So would you happily eat at this cafe?

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley I don't know - I've never been.

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley so you don’t trust the review that’s written in your own paper?

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley of course I do. I trust that was the experience @tinamilesuk had there. But as I've never been I

@LiverpoolRR @livechonews @alex_henley don't know if I'd like the food or not. We all have different tastes and there is space for them all

@JadeWright @LivEchonews @Alex_Henley I would say there is no room for this style of food, and a local paper shouldn’t be encouraging it.
