Helvellyn Country Kitchen — Restaurant in England

Following the devastation of Covid, Helvellyn Country Kitchen (HCK) ran like clockwork. As the weather was threatening to do it's worst, we decided to eat indoors.

When I returned to the queue it was so long and I figured as I've already queue once I would be able to ask when the other coffee was brought to the table if I could bypass the queue. It was very much a "computer said no moment" use a common sense approach. If somebody has queued and paid for food that they are sat there waiting for then it would make sense to get a coffee for them and allow them to bypass the queue in order to pay, so that they can sit and relax with their...
