Absolutely
shocking
customer
service
in
the
restaurant.
I’ve
stayed
twice
for
business
and
both
times
the
restaurant
was
poor.
The
first
time
the
food
wasn’t
cooked.
Apparently
the
breakfast
chef
who
was
on
duty
in
the
evening
wasn’t
able
to
cook
salmon.
Staff
fed
back
that,
‘he
was
ok
last
night’
and
then
the
manager
offered
to
cook.
The
second
stay,
we
were
told
not
to
order
for
at
least
15mins
because
the
chef
had
4
orders
to
cook.
In
total
there
couldn’t
have
been
more
than
15-20
people
in
the
restaurant,
but
all
were
experiencing
challenges
with
waiting
or
limited
menu
choices.
It
took
an
hour
before
we
could
order,
each
time
asked
we
were
told
5,
10
or
20
more
mins.
It
took
nearly
3hrs
from
sitting
down
in
the
restaurant
at
7.15pm
to
finally
having
a
sweet
after
10pm
.
(The
sweet
was
ordered
because
there
was
only
a
choice
of
3
starters
which
were
fish
or
chicken.)
Several
meal
choices
were
also
not
available.
Staff
were
apathetic,
and
unconcerned
by
their
lack
of
professionalism,
when
we
raised
concerns
with
regards
to
the
wait
we
were
told
‘we’ll
feed
it
back’
or
were
offered
free
drinks
but
not
a
choice
of
drink
we’d
wanted
or
were
actually
drinking.
One
food
order
was
wrong
of
which
the
staff
member
did
apologise
as
it
was
their
mistake
but
we
were
told
that
the
kitchen
was
now
shut
so
could
we
‘just
eat
it!’
They
did
eventually
cook
the
meal
of
choice.
Plates
left
in
the
tables
and
no
attention
to
detail
or
customer
care,
even
whilst
staff
were
just
stood
around
the
restaurant.
We
explained
we
didn’t
want
to
keep
being
offered
free
drinks
because
of
the
very
long
waiting
time
but
just
expected
reasonable
customer
service,
We
asked
for
table
water
and
were
bought
one
glass
of
water.
At
the
end
of
evening
we
owed
£4.91,
there
wasn’t
an
apology
for
the
slow
service,
lack
of
menu
choice
or
lack
of
customer
service
and
when
I
said
I
wasn’t
happy
with
the
service
&
I’d
pay
outstanding
amount
but
would
be
taking
this
further
as
it’s
a
concern
that
twice
I’ve
experienced
poor
service
in
the
restaurant,
and
will
be
formally
complaining
about
what
could
only
be
described
as
shocking
customer
service
Manuela
who
was
the
Manager
that
evening
picked
the
change
up
and
threw
it
into
my
handbag!
It
feels
like
the
place
is
managed
poorly,
the
staff
seemed
scared
of
the
repercussions
to
them
not
the
customer
experience.
Manuela
said,
‘l
can’t
keep
giving
things
away’
I
explained
several
times,
that
I
didn’t
want
anything
for
free,
I
wanted
decent
customer
service,
my
food
in
a
reasonable
time
and
not
to
feel
like
I’m
a
hindrance
by
being
there!
They
wouldn’t
be
giving
stock
away
if
they
communicated
effectively
between
themselves.
They
seemed
more
concerned
about
the
impact
of
their
stock
control
-
because
giving
‘house’
drinks
away
will
be
picked
up
electronically
in
their
stock
control
system
but
their
limited
time
invested
in
properly
training
staff,
in
customer
service,
restaurant
etiquette
and
efficiency
is
only
picked
up
via
feedback
and
will
not
go
directly
to
the
senior
management.
Breakfast
was
ok,
the
coffee
machine
was
not
working
but
again
although
the
staff
in
the
morning
were
friendly
and
apologetic,
it
seems
standard
practice
to
apologise
and
say
we’ll
feedback.
Rooms
as
always
were
clean
&
well
maintained.
If
it
wasn’t
for
the
need
to
stay
for
business
purposes
I
wouldn’t
go
back.
However,
given
2
attempts
in
the
restaurant
-
I’ll
definitely
eat
elsewhere
next
time.
