Battle Bakes and Cakes — Restaurant in Rother

Went in here to grab lunch with a co worker, the food was great, but was really disappointed by how we were treated by one employee.

Standing at till for 10 minutes being completely ignored by 5 of the 6 people working there. My young kids wanting to leave but no one wanting me to pay them, finally the nice lady who took out order took my payment but only after I had been referred to as rude because I had the audacity to say to another member of staff that I was about to give up due to how long I'd...
