We
stayed
over
at
Walton
Hall
as
our
friends
were
getting
married.
First
off,
I
will
say
this
is
an
excellent
venue
for
a
wedding.
The
buildings
and
grounds
are
wonderful
and
the
private
church
was
superb.
Everything
was
well
catered
even
if
the
staff
were
a
little
"green",
they
did
all
they
could
to
help
and
the
event
went
very
well.
So
big
plus
tick.
However.
When
it
came
to
breakfast
time
the
pain
was
there
for
all
hotel
guests
to
share.
We
arrived
at
9.00am,
so
not
late,
and
already
the
orange
juice
was
practically
run
dry.
No
problem,
I'll
fetch
a
tea.
Ah,
there's
a
huge
queue
as
one
machine
is
out
of
order.
No
worries,
I'll
get
some
toast.
Wait,
no
side
plates.
OK,
I'll
get
cereal,
no
bowls!
I
ask
the
staff
for
some
plates
and
bowls
and
eventually
6
of
each
appear
only
to
be
descended
by
the
other
guests
who
had
all
been
waiting.
I
grabbed
a
bowl
and
some
cereal
but
wait,
no
spoons!
You're
kidding.
I
pinch
one
from
another
table
and
enjoy
my
rice
crispies!
Now
for
some
hot
breakfast.
No
plates,
no
bacon,
no
sausage.
I
can
see
the
queue
for
tea
has
died
down,
I'll
get
some
tea.
You're
joking,
no
mugs!!!!!
Look,
I
know
this
is
a
first
world
problem
but
this
is
pretty
much
fundamental
to
operating
a
breakfast
service.
All
in
all,
it
was
a
very
nice
stay,
and
the
staff
were
helpful,
if
at
sometimes
a
bit
bewildered.
