The Paddenswick Tea Gardens — Restaurant in London

Doesn’t take cash - why not? Note to owners - I never patronise a business twice if they failed to take the King’s Pounds Sterling from me the first time. There are many others like me.

The people running this place need to understand that an “all day brunch” is supposed to be a large plate of food that keeps you going all day.

I'd probably have given it a 3 if it wasn't new and I'd like to encourage any new business in the area. Recently reoppened after a long closure (2 years?) under new management but it looks exactly as it did before and the menu is very limited. I didn't eat anything but my flat white was very poor. I think if you're only doing a few things they should be great. So far, it feels like a missed opportunity.
