Windmill Orchards Farm Shop — Restaurant in Rother

Without a shadow of a doubt, the rudest people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting!

After some confusion among the unapologetic staff, our food finally arrived and we began eating, the food was nice but definitely should not have taken half an hour to prepare and the cafe was not busy.

This behaviour was entirely unjustified, rude and unacceptable. We finally received the two teas that had clearly been sat there since we ordered them from an unapologetic waitress but were refused the coffee. We had heard other tables complaining amongst themselves about the disorganisation of the staff and I hope they did not receive the same treatment.
