"Came here with my Mum and sister for a birthday treat for my mum. Booked online and was sent an email asking if there were any dietary requirements/allergies. I responded to this and advised that I was vegetarian and none of our party ate fish....Upon arrival we were greated by a man who I think was the manager. He wasn't particularly friendly but was polite. I checked with him our request for 1 vegetarian and no fish for any of us had been received to which he advised yes. Our waiter was lovely if a little shy. We were offered a selection of teas by a lady and the waited asked if we were ready for the afternoon tea. I advised yes and again just double checked about the dietry requirements. When our afternoon tea arrived it looked great, however our waiter failed to advise us what each of the sandwiches and cakes were and as there were no menus we were left guessing. There was only one veggie option of egg. The other sandwiches were chicken and Ham (on a plate next to the veggie sandwiches) and to all of our horror some salmon sandwiches also on the plate. I called the waiter over and politely advised him that we asked for no fish and he went and took this up with the kitchen and came back 10 mins later with some other sandwiches which consisted of cucumber and tomato, guacamole and red onion and mushroom pate. What concerns me is I asked 3 times for no fish and I was completely ignored and had someone with allergies bitten into the sandwich (it had some red onions in it so was hard to tell it was salmon without looking inside) it could have caused an allergic reaction. The matter was resolved but I feel the veggie sandwiches should have been on a separate plate and the staff should be explaining what each of the cakes and sandwiches are which is common practice at most venues offering afternoon tea. Despite the mishap, the food was fresh and tasty, the ambiance was nice and the price was realisable although I do feel it's a bit cheeky to slap on a 10% service charge especially when you aren't even being told what you are eating! I would return, however please Grand cafe be more aware of allergies and dietary requirements especially when the customer has gone out of their way to ask for this 3 times."
