"The poor service standards in Kew Gardens just keep getting worse. Went in Tuesday afternoon (June 10th) for lunch and encountered yet another staff member with a serious attitude problem. Zero basic manners - no 'please,' no 'thank you,' just pure arrogance and rudeness throughout the entire interaction. The whole experience was made even more ridiculous by their insistence on taking a name for the order when I was literally the only customer in the place.

He’s served me food more than once without using tongs or any gloves of the sort and it’s absolutely disgusting and unhygienic. I constantly see him touch other peoples food without gloves too and it’s just vile. Honestly sickens me. Haven’t seen him wash his hands or use any sanitisers either so God knows where they’ve been.
