I never got as far as having anything from this place. Was shopping on Tuesday afternoon and had a bit of time to spare so thought we would sit in the sun and grab a drink somwhere. This place was totally empty at around 3.30 and I asked the waitress if we could sit outside for a beer and a coffee. The look she gave me you would think I was attempting to purchase illicit substances off her. She rolled her eyes and said they did not have a licence for just drinks...explained why the lovely outside tables were completely deserted!

Fine, your loss.. I thought. We walked further up and sat outside an average but perfectly adequate pub. When we finished we walked back past to see 2 tables occupied by men who were conversing jovially with the hatchet faced waitress, drinking beer (there were several empties on the table) with no sign of a crumb of food or even a menu! It seems there is one rule for their mates and another for money paying locals! After that don't think I will be trying the food...

The food was the usual high standard. Lost count of how many times I have visited.

Service is good and friendly. Like to save space for Tiramisu

I can't even comment the food as we didn't enter the restaurant.

We waited 30 min outside. The manager didn't even bother saying Hello and let the other persons come in.

Finally I made a sign and we seated outisde. We waited 15 minutes, getting cold.

The manager and the waitresses seemed not to see us. I made a sign again and the manager took a glass and said 'cheers'. This attitude towards customers was outrageous and humiliating. We arrived at 8.30pm and left at 9.30 with nothing in the stomach. I can't believe the manager treated customers like this.
