On first appearance in the garden it looks very tired and cramped, outside looks quite inviting, my husband ordered and I said I didn't want anything and as she was walking away I thought I heard her say"and the same?" The waitress got our order wrong she brought 2 lots of what my husband had ordered, and I couldn't accept it because I have dietary issues, I think she was in to much of a rush to get home and wasn't paying attention to what we said, soon afterwards she approached my husband and said " are you ready to pay ", which I thought was a bit rude, once he'd paid, the boards were brought in from outside, obviously they were closing for the day but this wasn't explained to us on arrival, she was in a big rush to get rid of us in an uncourtiouse manner from us walk onto the establishment and upto us leaving, I WON'T venture there again, I will take my custom and money elsewhere as I feel that she wasn't really interested in hospitality, we left there feeling extremely...
