"We used to regularly pop into the former Brownlow cafe after a walk around Ashridge for a hot drink or lunch. Was very surprised when the NT opted not to renew the lease on a thriving, popular business, particularly when there was so much opposition to decision. Their promise to open a NT run, comparable cafe has not been delivered. Cafe is poorly managed, with inexperienced young staff and rude management. Recently queued for ages to be told literally no food left. Flustered but polite person on till suggested to his female manager they put up a sign or go down the huge queue to let people know, rather than waste their time. Unfortunately his initiative was met with a curt and rude response by the manager who basically said they will find out there’s no food when they get to front of queue. Very poor attitude. Range of food on offer, when available has also gone down hill. Will go elsewhere in future. Big mistake NT, huge."
