Sociable Folk definitely not very sociable.
I’ve eaten here a few times pre-lockdown and I did like it BUT never again!
A 16 year old student I know came here for an interview. She was very nervous and spent hours preparing. Including a pre-visit to make sure she knew exactly where it was. The interview was 5 mins long and they told her they would be in touch for her to do a trial shift. They didn’t.
