"Met a friend for a late breakfast, greeted by a pleasant enough lady blond hair and glasses)who advised that no sausages available, fair enough but makes a mockery of the rather authoritarian instruction on the menu that no alterations can be made to the set breakfast choice. Order taken at the table by a different also pleasant lady also blond hair and glasses). Id ordered the sam to eat as my friend, toast with a side order of beans and in addition bacon and black pudding. My food arrived served by a 3rd female staff member short, stocky build and dark hair) but minus the baked beans. I pointed this out politely and was challenged by this charmless employee to the effect I hadn’t ordered them, no apology. She then turned to the lady who had taken the order I have no issue that she omitted them from the order, anyone can make a mistake) and then barked at her to ‘make sure they go on the bill’ within my sight and hearing. The beans came, the breakfast was mediocre and the performance of the woman who obviously has a higher opinion of herself than others might coupled with cold stark surroundings are sufficient to encourage me to go elsewhere. There’s no place for rudeness like this when business claim they are struggling, and there is a perfectly good alternative venue almost next door. I’d have given a good service rating but for the antics of this rude woman."

"We went out as a family for lunch. It was not overly busy in there and we had pre booked. We had to wait over 15 minutes for our drink order to be taken. We then asked for them to take our food order to try and speed things up. There only seemed to be 2 front of house staff working and service was very slow. The menu was quite limited, and 2 of the main dishes were not available. We ordered two steaks, and chicken and chips. We asked what one of the dishes were (bravas fries) and the waiter didn’t know so he asked the other man, and the description given was “it’s just the fries with tomato in a tapas dish” what came was potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce covering the potatoes. We waited over an hour and 10 minutes for our food to arrive. I appreciate that the food is cooked fresh, but service was very slow. The people on the table next to us also commented twice to staff about how long things were taking. When we finally got our food, it came out in dibs and drabs, one dish had been forgotten about and we had to remind the waiter for this. We were not given steak knives so we had to ask for them. We were also not asked if we wanted any condiments like salt and pepper. The food was served to us at our table with the waiter passing the plates to us. Yet when we finished the other man asked us to stack all of our plates up for him! We eat out quite often, I know that there are restrictions in place due to Covid but as yet I have never been asked to help clear the table. Overall an experience I do not wish to repeat."
