"Came here for the first time in years Monday as we took my mum out for a meal. I arrived around 45 minutes early but the staff were lovely they let us get seated and we had coffee when arrived and it was brilliant. Ordered the food great lady at the bar taking orders really friendly. Food come and was pleasantly surprised at the portion size. Now I have given only 3 stars due to 1 member of staff been rude to my mother. My mother has worked in catering for nearly 30 years and once we had eaten my mum tried to clear our table she always does everywhere we go and this member of staff was so rude to my mother I do that in a disapproving tone of voice like my mother was a child after that the same member of staff brought pudding to the table and the mucky lucks and pulling her nose up at my mother she didn 't even speak to my mother bringing her pudding she just shoved it on the table infront of her and mucky lucked her. Now everyone had bad days but a bit of respect for people goes alone way I think this member of staff should change her job because she isn 't suited to working with people at all and if we had been there any longer i would have said something as she made my mum feel uncomfortable. But on the other hand every other member of staff was brilliant nothing was too much trouble they were all nice and polite . I will be booking again but will be insisting that member of staff does not serve us. Overall was a lovely meal .would have been 5 stars"

"Wow- I’m so angry! Please someone reassure me that this is not normal behaviour! I’ve just been told by the restaurant manager here that I shouldn’t be in his restaurant/bistro because “I’m not all there in the head” and I “shouldn’t have been let out!”I’m absolutely astonished and find it hard to believe that I would be spoken to in this way anywhere in public let alone by the restaurant manager!This all happened because I had forgotten the last part of my food order and was told by the lady at the till that if I needed to go back and check then I’d have to queue again as they were too busy. As I hadn’t paid and wasn’t willing to queue again I told her not to bother putting the order through. I didn’t really want to make a big deal out of it. On the way out I was confronted by the manager; red faced and sweat on his brow, who asked me what the problem was and asked me if I was “Alright in the head?!” I was so shocked and taken aback by this remark that I didn’t really know the best way to reply! Doing my best not to get angry I told him that I was upset and really wasn 't used to being spoken to like this, to which he replied, “well if you can’t handle being in a busy place like this then you shouldn’t be out!” He then kept badgering me, asking who I was out with and he didn’t want me in his restaurant and that I should get out ... All of this in front of families eating their dinners! Anyhow despite feeling really angry and quite upset by this point I thankfully managed to keep my cool and so went on to leave through the back gate of the restaurant where I’d been pointed to go outside. The manager must have realised by this point that I was trapped in a fenced area here and therefore needed his assistance for me to escape- On the plus-side it was pretty funny seeing the look on his face when he had worked out that he needed to come to my rescue in order for me to leave through the naughty door! Here in the car park I was greeted my partner Vicky and the kids who had managed to make their escape unscathed through the regular entrance. 2 or 3 minutes later the security guard/car park attendant came over to check with us that I wasn’t planning on returning.. He was a lovely chap with a friendly Australian accent and seemed genuinely concerned as he could tell I’d had a mouthful from his boss.. a real gent! He had been sent across the car park to tell me not to come back but thankfully he was a lot more diplomatic and good enough to recommend another local place to eat!it’s not often I write bad reviews but given the circumstances here and my general disgust for anyone that would ever seemingly discriminate against those with special needs.. I feel that in this instance it’s well-within reason. (Whatever I’d done to convince this guy that I wasn’t completely 'all there’ in his words is beyond me!"
