Scots mum who spent £250 on kid’s birthday party fuming after getting six plates of nibbles for 28 guests

A Scots mum has publicly shamed a party planner after claiming they splashed £250 on her daughter's 10th birthday - only to get six 'embarrassing' plates of nibbles to share between 28 kids. Ashley Black, from Falkirk, claims that she quizzed the event planner twice and was assured that there would 'definitely' be enough food for her daughter's 28 friends for the party last month.

But a depressing photo shows a table with only six 'laughable' plates on it, containing a few cocktail sausages, mini sausage rolls, sandwiches, scotch eggs and crisps - which the mum claims left her 'disgusted'. Ashley says her husband Stuart was forced to rush to the local shop where he spent £45 on crisps, hotdogs and pizzas so the children didn't go hungry from the 'ridiculous' spread.

Making matters worse, Ashley says the event planner named 'Steph' then went on to complain multiple times that she felt 'tired' from a kids' party that she'd already attended earlier that day. After complaining, the mum claims the woman refused to give her a refund as she bemoaned that the children were 'badly behaved' - and said she would only contribute towards the cost of the extra food.
