Sharnbrook Deli Café — Restaurant in England

Made me pay for my lunch before eating it. Cost £15. Them the wife wanted a piece of cake for £1.50 and they told me I had to spend a minimum of £5 if I wanted to use my card. I didn't have cash. The manager then told me that the card companies charge them a fee for card transactions so they have to set a minimum.

This place has changed hands since I last went and it's a real cracker now. I went with a group of friends after a trail run on a Saturday morning and we sat out the back in the courtyard.
