I strongly suspect that this company commit tax evasion and fraud on a regular basis and I have no other way of describing my experience with them as being a victim of theft. I will start with the worst part of my experience first. The prices on the menu seem steep enough as it is but reasonable for the area, however after having ordered 2 £10.50 breakfasts & 2 teas and walking away from the counter realising I had just parted with £34 something didn’t seem right. My partner and I looked at the menu and added up our order realising that we had been steeply overcharged, we were met with incredible rudeness and hostility when we queried this and were pointed to the small print on the menu which states that VAT and a service charge is added separately. Skipping some details here, we cancelled our orders and asked for a refund. This establishment already screams ‘shifty’ with its “we much prefer cash payments please” sign at the till, enforced by the despicably mannered cashier making sure you definitely don’t have cash to pay with. If you do choose to use card it is taken away from you where you cannot see what is happening and handed back to you to enter your pin and no receipt is given. Whilst my ‘refund’ was being processed, I could not see what was being done with my card and I was asked to put my pin in and again not given a receipt or proof of refund but ensured everything had been completed. I decided to check my online banking and lo and behold I had in fact been charged TWICE, our breakfast that we cancelled had now cost me £70. I called my bank at this point who were appalled and suggested I go back in and get a cash refund and to contact them if this was not granted and assured that they would take over and deal with the company directly if needed. Finally, this request was granted and I walked away with the cash refund and the money still coming out of my account. Some of the smaller details I have missed out are that we were lied to when we asked to speak to the manager, the cashier telling us that she was in fact the manager and later another member of staff telling us that the manager was not in that day and apologising for how rude the cashier (claiming to be manager) was ‘because she is new’. After ordering our breakfasts and way before all of these problems occurred I went back to the till to add some juices to our order (which I paid for with cash) and was met with a “what do you want now?” I also had eyes rolled at me when I asked for eggs to be well done. After all being resolved we asked for the name of the lady who helped us (who we were actually going to praise) and the name of the cashier and were flatly refused being told “you don’t need to know that” and we were begged to not write a review. I would never forgive myself for not writing a review! In hopes that people will read it before going here, which is something I have kicked myself for not doing as I have realised my story is one of many on here who have experienced the same and I honestly am gobsmacked that this place is even open. DO NOT GO HERE, and above all do NOT hand your card over. I have cancelled mine as I do not for a second trust what has gone on. This place is preposterous and it will not surprise me if the owner ends up in prison for fraud and tax evasion one day. Don’t be fooled by this flowery Instagram spot!...
