Sadly you take your chances when you eat breakfast here ! This review refers to the staffing team on duty on the 10th February 2018. We arrived at about 9:45am, to the tables out side the building still piled with glasses and coffee cups from the previous night, many containing the remains of watered down drinks from the nights rain. Inside wasn't much better, bar piled high at one end with last nights dirty glasses, right next to the till where one orders at the bar. After a couple of minutes wait finally someone came to take our payment. Went to a table near the window, wiped and cleared, napkins there but no cutlery on the table, no sign of staff so took cutlery from another table to use. Orange and apple juice dispensers, empty. Up to the counter to get fried food, no hash browns available at that time, the eggs ran out as we got to them and the sausages were grey, the outsides had not been browned at all. Got what we could, went and sat to eat, went back after 5 to 10 minutes, hash browns had turned up, grossly over cooked, still no eggs. After standing there for 3 or 4 minutes, a cook came out, wandered along the counter, saw the lack of eggs and went back to the kitchen again, came back a minute later to say they were being cooked and wouldn't be long, after another minute gave up on eggs entirely. During this time the rest of the staff were missing, in the kitchen, not available to assist in any way. Having eaten what we were able to get, we went for coffee, one cup left with lipstick on the side, the machine was complaining it needed it's grounds emptying and it was out of milk, stood there for 5 minutes, no staff around again, finally one walked past carrying dirty plates, when asked about the coffee we were told, "one second", he went to the kitchens and didn't return. At least 3 or 4 minutes later a waitress arrived with a tray of cups, we had to point out to her that the machine needed attention ! Then stood for a couple more minutes whilst the machine was topped up with milk and the overflowing grounds tray was cleaned out.

Now please do not take this as the norm for this restaurant, we eat breakfast at the weekends here quite a lot, a few weeks ago we were there, when it was actually much busier, everything was excellent that time, the food was perfectly cooked and the staff were running about doing their jobs properly, no waiting for food or coffee, tables clean and set properly, generally an excellent experience, however, that was a different staffing team ! The team who were manning the restaurant on the 10th February 2018 are lazy, slovenly, disorganised, missing a lot of the time and seem to have no regard for the customer experience whatsoever. They couldn't even be bothered to pop outside and fetch the dirty glasses in from the night before ! We encountered this particular group of breakfast serving staff before, about 3 or 4 months ago, we thought then they were having a one off bad day, but sadly not, as it was just as bad if not worse yesterday. Several customers were commenting upon it and discussing it whilst we were standing around waiting for whatever shortfall we were experiencing at that time, see above !

Other teams of breakfast staff at this place are superb ! If the staff are this bunch you will likely not enjoy the experience at all, if it is one of the other teams, then you have a much better chance of a lovely breakfast and helpful, hard working staff !
