Parklands Cafe — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

The food here is pretty good, the treats and tray bakes are lovely. My issue is with cleanliness. Not behind the counter, that's not the problem. I noticed one morning, before the cafe had opened that the tables were filthy. They were obviously not cleaned at the end of the previous day. But, I assumed they would be cleaned before they opened. Nope. So every time I came after I couldn't help but notice now that the tables are very rarely cleaned. You can forgive a one off but this seems to be all the time.

I saw another customer put hand sanitiser on the table and clean it herself. Which I have also done in the past before I realised it was a job they had given up on doing. Like I said, I don't think this issue of cleanliness is behind the counter, but the customer area really needs looked at.
